Default Motor problem

I have notice that when driving my 99 f350 crew cab, when I step on the gas pedal the truck runs ruff. On the freeway it runs ruff until I am doing about 60 or so. It shakes the whole truck. I have done a few things to see what the problem could be. I have replaced the fuel filter; put some seafoam in it thinking I got some bad gas or something. The truck has about 167000 miles on it. I just bought a new turbo, new 5inch exhaust, changed the oil on time and I take good care of it. I'm replacing the EBPS as well because my good friend Joe O. told me so. If you have any ideas feel free to let me know.

Thanks guys

sounds like its got a short in one of your valve cover gaskets. id take it by and have someone scan it. if it shows u have 4 injectors not working all on one side then id replace the gasket on that side.



just so u dont think im nuts for suggesting that if ur not real fimiliar with ur engine, the injector wiring harness is incoperated into the gasket

I'll take a look at that but I'm not sure that would be it that, does sound funny.

I scanned his truck the other day. The only thing that came up was codes for the EBP sensor.

Buzz tested fine, contrubution passed, rotational values were good...

Once he has a working EBPS I will scan it again and we can go from there!
