fuel filters? I live in the US desert where our diesel is pretty dirty, but that sounds just like what happens when our filters get clogged- especially if this is a 7.3L v8. |

We need more vehicle information. Diagnostics on the net is not so simple.

If it doesn't fit, FORCE it. If it breaks, well, it needed replacing anyway. Pullin' wrenches for 45 years. |
