Apr 06, 2010 (12:12 pm)

when i start my truck, the wait to start light stays on 10-12 sec.The truck starts right up. ,after driving awhile when you turn it off & try to restart the wait to start light comes on for approx. 4 sec.the truck will not start. After waiting 1/2 hour the wait to start light comes on approx. 6-7 sec.then it will start , but is very sluggish to start. Once it starts then it runs normal. Tired of being stranded . Any help appreciated. Radicalracer

Is this 1994 a early powerstroke or the 94 IDI Turbo if you could tell me I can help you with this. Good luck.

does the truck have turbo diesel or power stroke badges on it can you see the injectors or are they inside the valve covers what's the build date on the vin tag on drivers door does the engine look like a 1997 engine does it have a steel fuel filter or a paper one? Let me know.

I start my truck first thing in am, it runs fine. No smoke comes out of tail pipe. After driving it for about a half hour and I shut it off, it will not start back up until about an hour later. All fluids and filters have been changed. Glow plugs all work. This is a 1995 Power Stroke Diesel.

#908 of 1184 2005 F-350 - 6.0 - Turbo Shut Down? by olmilehi

Apr 19, 2010 (7:20 am)

Hello All... I am posting this to get an idea of what I am up against with my dealer. I was hauling my 5th wheel trailer, pulling onto an entrance ramp on I-70 West and it appeared the turbo shut down... it was making an awful noise, no power and I looked like an 1880 train heading up the pass. I finally shut it down and called a tow service. I did not the turbo gauge shut down and it tried to kick in once, but that was short lived. I only have 35K on this truck and I wouldn't expect these kind of problems with regular servicing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for everyones input.
