The original subject was "F350 7.3 Diesel".

I have a 2002 that had power problems. I am still learning about diesels. My mechanic found bare wires in the harness by driver side wheel well and I have been doing research and found a bad IPC sensors and pigtail. Replaced these and my truck is now back to doing hole shots on dry pavement. However now my teams is not shifting right since sensor replacement from 2nd to 3rd. It is a very short shift and this is a new problem. Truck has 144,000 miles on it and we do light towing of a 2 and 3 horse trailer. Hoping it's just a bad sensor for transmission.

I replaced the following this past weekend
IPC sensor
IPC sensor pigtail
Cam sensor
Tensioner
Idler pulley
Added aftermarket air filter

Truck is better than when I took it off show room floor, now just need to figure out shift issue which is new today

I'm no master mechanic but I'll just throw this out here. Any chance you would need to re flash the computer system after all the sensors you replaced? It's nothing major I'm sure. Had a 7.3 years ago and there was a couple times it just needed some computer refreshing once.

Clear the KAM to get rid of any bad behavior it may have learned and see what happens. Throw the aftermarket air intake away and put the original stuff back. All they do is let more dirt in your engine.
