slpwlker Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 You check the oil? Only powerstroke I would even consider is the 7.3 all others are junk. But CUMMINS POWER.

storkmack Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 My 03' did this once, it was a bad lift pump. I do not recall if it threw a code or not . -Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Got the correct code- P2509, low voltage condition mainly.Randy, the oil was the first thing I checked along with the coolant levelThe boy was like umm....I don't know.

theakerstwo Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 A 10 code means its time to update to a new pickup. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 With a low voltage code id check my batteries, you have to have at least 11.2 v to run the ecm. Sounds like a Lift pump hard start is a symptom, been there you need 10-14 psi at the back of that vp44 injection pump or you'll trash it. Most of the time the lift pump goes down and you don't notice because it will still run just won't have the same power, then the injection pump goes down because its not built to draw fuel from the tank. Get a guage in there and check the pressure at the back of the injection pump.

2stacksuperdog Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Our '01 7.3 wouldn't start but would turn over finally put new batteries in and it started i guess it didn't have enough power to open the injectors that was 6 yrs ago and happened again over the summer knew what it was that time Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm having that problem now but I also think I am sucking a little air somewhere. Time for a starter they get slower after a while and time to check alternator and batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
