Default truck help

Hello All

I have a 2000 f250 7.3. I've had nothing but problems with this truck. glow plug mostly, At the moment i think i have an electrical problem, sometimes my truck all at once will run like crap, glow plugs wont turn on, engine hesitates off line, dies at a stop, over drive light flashes, engine isn't smooth, stereo shuts of and on. Then all the sudden runs perfect!

What you guys think the problem is? a sensor?

I would suggest looking over the under hood wiring .... or, for that matter, any wires close to the exhaust! Sounds like a bare wire grounding out. Perhaps wires resting on a manifold or exhaust pipe that ground out when the engine gets warmed up.
Post and let us know when you figure it out!
