Diesel repair articles

I have a 1992 Ford F-350 7.3 diesel. No Crank no start. I already changed out the starter solenoid , got a new starter. Motor moves freely. The only thing I haven't done is check the the voltage to the starter. I'm running out of options to figure out the problem. Can anyone give me some options to figure it out. Thanks

I just cant get this started! Parked it a year ago after barely making it home. Saw fuel under it and thought the fuel pump let go and it ran like out of fuel. Replace mechanical fuel pump and realized t he cam looked worn so added a electric fuel pump Nada!! Change all the glow pugs and controller! It back fired one time but wont start. Always been a paint t ostart after sitting a week.

Owned the truck since 1993 and has 150k miles. Yes it has always taken starting fluid to start and wondering if this has take a toll. Problyly have not put 10k miles on it since 1997. Thoughts are appreciated.

The other afternoon truck idled 10 to 15 put in gear and died tried to restart noticed no oil pressure check topped off oil and put known good ipr just for chance no luck next morning fired up no probs any idea getting hard to trust it now

The other day I started my 02 excursion to let it warm up and it stalled. It wouldn't start back up so I was checking the battery and it seams ok checked the fuel filter and changed it. I checked and there is fuel pumping and now I'm out of ideas and my oil level was good

I have a 1997 F250 with a 7.3 that keeps popping the #22 fuse. Drove just fine and was parked. Went to move the truck and it would not start. After doing some troubleshooting found the 22 fuse popped. Put a new one in and it popped immediately. Is this an indication that the PCM is bad.

I have a 1995 F350  Powerstroke 7.3

Sometimes it would take a few tries to start it in the mornings, unless it was already warmed up.

But the other morning, I came out to start it and it tried to fire, but then immediately died.

When I tried to start it again, there was no smoke from the tail pipe like it usually does before you get it started, and also the Rach did not move at all.

So I pulled the Cam positioning sensor and replaced it with a new one.

I then had the truck plugged in for the block heater for a couple of hours.

When I tried to start it, it still would only crank with no start.

And there was still no smoke from the tail pipe and the Rach still did not move.

I am totally lost.

I am out in the woods above Timber, Oregon, and I am on disability.

I am limited on hand tools and no shop.

I sure would appreciate knowing what to do next.

I am even checking around for a shop or something to fix or work on my truck and let me make payments.
