- Just a quick video to show off my new-to-me 2002 Ford F-350 4x4 XLT diesel truck and how I finally was able to convince the fuel filter to come off the 7.3L powerstroke engine that was stuck on and stripped.
Thanks to this video I was able to hammer the 15/16th size socket onto the stripped plastic nut wix filter. So thanks for the video!
i am glad it helped someone out there in youtubeland get their rig back on the road! right on! mine was so stripped i had to use the drill-two-holes method but i am glad to hear the hammer-the-socket-on method worked for yah!
I check every week for new videos, can’t wait to see me
i PROMISE you, I will be back!
Very nice 7.3 Powerstroke! I bought a used truck a couple years ago and went to do an oil change on it and the oil pan drain plug was way overtightened by the previous owner. I ended up rounding off the head of the drain plug but finally got it off and had to go buy a brand new drain plug. Thankfully the threads in the oil pan were not damaged from it being overtightened. Seems to be a common thing with people overtightening things with threads LOL.
i dont know why people feel like they need to muscle it on there so much. snug will do fine. ive seen guys weld a spigot valve in place for the drain plug versus replacing the entire pan lol
Miss my old 7.3
Man this was a MFER! I ended up using a Screw Driver and hammer to notch it a long. No matter how much impact, nothing and eventually it stripped. This is a great idea but I couldn't afford to destroy mine as we needed to reuse it right then and there.
Trailblogger coming through with 7.3 tips and tricks!
gotta get that crap off somehow! lol
Yes going thorough the same thing!!
Oh Men in Germany we say guter Pick Up Truck 👍😉, but in Germany its to expensive to Drive this nice Truck 😬. Its a nice Car Men, selfmade Repair i love it good Work 🔥🤙
i need a big truck to haul all my toys around haha the new ones are even more expensive so i find a good old reliable one and take good care of it instead! thanks for watching. cheers from California 😀✌
Love the 7.3 😎
she's a good truck, just redid the whole front end. in it's former life it was an RV with a cab over camper onboard. literally grandpa owned
@@trailblogger nice! How many miles?
only 135,000. has the air bags in the back already for heavy hauling
@@trailblogger oh damn im at 170,000 with my 15’ 6.7 powerstroke 😁
I’m about to do exactly this on my truck, man. I used everything, damn socket stripped that pos plastic bolt, I drilled a couple of smalll construction brackets on there and no luck. I’m on my way to Home Depot to go pick up your setup and wish me luck man. So frustrating. No more wix filters
i'm sure this method will work. mine felt like it was glued on lol
did you get it??
I wanted to see it not leaking when you were done.
Sorry i didnt get a shot, that would have been a good idea
Cool how the 95 and 2002 are the same color. The 2002 pays homage to the 95
it's like it was meant to be lol. I actually would not have minded a clean white one just because it get's so insanely hot here in the summer but this one was so clean I could not resist.
@@trailblogger it is pretty clean and they are pretty hard to find without rust. Like you said, it was meant to be lol
