Summary of the most common problems w/ the 7.3L powerstroke diesel (ford/navistar) - a '99 t444e in an International 3800 (school bus) in this case. Follow our travels and skoolie conversion here: / tribixbite
This video covers what you need to buy & how to diagnose & repair a no-start & issues involving fuel pressure, cam position sensor (cps), injection pressure regulator (ipr), injection control pressure (icp), and more. Your problem most likely is limited to one of these components; I'm not suggesting you swap out all these parts, I just thought a summary video would be nice to have on YT. Cheers.
NOTE: I had never touched a diesel engine until last week so let me know what I missed in the comments.

That was the most short, sweet and amazingly still very clear and detailed rundown of troubleshooting a 7.3 that Ive yet to see. And ive seen a whole lot of them. Way to go dude, this is a "every owner or individual who works on a 7.3 should be required to watch this first "video.

Covered a lot of good points, common problems (man, they must not have maintained yours at all!) I have a '96 7.3 with 263k..bought new and haven't had moßt of the problems you recount. I am an ASE cert. Diesel Bus master tech (retired x3) and have had some of those issues while maintaining a fleet of 27 busses, for 18 yrs. Still one helluva lot less problems than a B series Cummins, or God forbid, ANYTHING GMC has come out that burbs DIESEL!!

My motor is slightly different from yours, your advice helped me a lot, my Engine light is now off after I was able to locate and change out the ICP Sensor. I Prayed to the God in Heaven about

I use your video every time I need to troubleshoot my 2000 t444e! Today your comment about checking the pre-filter (upstream from the fuel filter) led me to find a piece of something stuck in mine. Pulled it out and my bus runs without smoke in the exhaust!!! You saved my hundreds in diagnostics!

You have a big advantage over us pickup owners. You can tip that engine hood forward and get to the engine easily. For pickups, everything is buried under all sorts of lines.

This is by far the best video working on any 7.3 from ford 250 350 450 and excursions.. the view and angle u shot it being on a bus is the very best. The 7.3 is all the way across and same exact problems but minor fixes are better then engine replacements on gas cars. U rock

I may be soon to set foot in the Diesel world with a T444E in a bus/camper conversion.. This was great information! Much appreciated! If it happens I will be buying one of each of those parts and the tools you described, that I don't already have.

Thanks for the video. Learned a lot. I have the same bus. Warning lights, buzzers, everything but a gong goes off. Gages show low oil pressure and overheating. Plenty of oil, water level is fine and not too hot. I love my bus. It is a '99 with only 112K miles! Unfortunately, I had a diesel mechanic who was supposed to be an expert on Powerstroke engines. After screwing me around for a couple of months, told me that it was ready to pick up. Got it home, parked it for three days. Went out and it wouldn't start. Called him... he skipped town. Again, unfortunately, I am not mechanically inclined, but there is enough videos and info online that I believe I can do most anything I have to .
