ran the truck dry
Apparently my fuel gauge is off about an 1/8th of a tank. Spent 6 hours today trying to get the damn thing restarted. Still wont fire. Whoever at ford thought it was a good idea to make the system so you can't bleed or prime it needs shot directly in the penis. Anyone with any great ideas on how to vet a ford 7.3 to fire after running it out of fuel? Its sitting next to thehouse right now on battery chargers waiting for me to throw a match at it.

what year? powerstroke?
some of them you can open the fuel drain valve on the fuel filter houseing. as you'r cranking the truck over have someone open the valve for a few seconds until it starts. u may have to reapeat this a couple of times.

Its a 99 power stroke. Batteries are up to 65 percent. Im thinking the lift pump is going to be my problem.

How much fuel did you put back in it? My 12V ran out last winter and it took 6 gallons before it'd prime and start. The 97 powerjoke i had didn't need to be primed, it'd just start after some cranking so maybe just add more fuel??????

you can also try filling the fuel filter up with fuel. I filled mine up when I changed the filter or it would take a while to start if I did not fill it up. Might have to do it a few time to get it to keep running

I added $50 to it. It died pulling into the station. I coasted up to the pump.
