the light with water drops is the water in fuel warning. Look under the driver side on the frame and you will see the filter. use a 6mm allen wrench and take the plug out, let it drain for about 1 min. this will be messy so get ready.(try to make a chute for the fuel to drain away from you) this should empty the water and solve your problem.
oh, i recommend wearing safty glasses or goggles.

first off, I would replace the egr valve instead of cleaning it. Its cheap so why not. second I think you might have a relay on the way out, or your getting a short somewhere. it could very well be electrical.

thanks ford dude, i was told that the EGR valve should not effect starting up. I did notice that it runs very well when on full tank and the problem starts when i get close to 1/4 tank. i have been told to add fuel additive to it so i did and i think that did no good. i am on the 3rd day with no problems. it may not start tomorrow????
i brought it to a local diesel mechanic and he told me to come get it, he could not figure it out. this guy has a good record as far as his diesel knowledge. oh when it does die it will start up after about 30 min. i just don't want to start changing things that are not relevant to the problem i am having. for example the EGR valve is 300.00. again thanks for the reply.

How many qts should my 1999 Ford F250 V10 hold at oil changes, and will it hert if I over fill by a qt? I am using full synthetic 5W 30 I have 123,000 miles on her now and I love my truck. She still runs great but I have noticed she is using some oil now, not smoking and not leaking.

I had a break job done on my 1999 f250 v10 about a year ago by Just Breaks, had the same trouble, took truck back 6 times, till one guy said "lets try the factory pads and just see" gues what.... factory pads done the trick.

fuel economy?

I have a 2000 Chevy silverado 1500. I haul 2 commercial mowers on a 6.5'x12' single axle trailer. The truck pulls okay, it has 173k miles on it though. I am going to buy a new truck, and thinking about a 6.8L v10 F250 (gas engine) I'm skeptical about the fuel economy though. I have no clue how much more I will spend in gas. Will a heavy duty truck with more pull power have close to the same gas mileage as a lighter duty truck pulling a trailer with mowers

I have a 1999 F250 with a V10, I wouldn't have anything else. I used 87 gas in it for years and the best I ever got was 14. I started using 93 gas just about 6 months ago and I get about 16 or 17 mpg, the truck runs soooo much better, I thought it was a dif truck. I used to pull an RV to the mountains in Tn, and the truck pulled like there wasn't hardly anything behind me at all, GO WITH THE V10
