Rob, this is along time ago, but here goes. I bought a brand new F350 crew cab PowerStroke back in 95. A great vehicle and pulled a full 35’ RV camper with it. Pull like a dream with diesel mileage at 14 mpg running @ 65 mph and 18 mpg empty. The only problem I had was in 95 Ford decided to use oil to drive the diesel pump witch created heat and when you drove for a while and stop, with it idling it would skip. Ran like a John Deer three cylinder. The folks at Long Lewis in BHM work their butt’s off trying to fix it and finally got an engineer from Ford to come down and take a look. He sent me a letter stating about the oil pump that created bubbles in the diesel fuel that caused the skip and recommended a oil supplement from Ford. It worked... They furnished me with the supplement until I sold the truck in 97. A great truck with ride, towing, looks and mileage, too. Just thought I would pass this along to ya....Frank
