Dang it Tyler!
Hey who is I'm a big fan and I was wondering if you had Mercer not
I give you 1 thumb up for it. Thanks.
I like the pictures
I'd love to buy it but I'm broke
I manufactured that engine. I was a manufacturing engineer at Navistar when we built the 7.3L Powerstroke for Ford. It was a "black box" product. Ford gave us the performance goals and we designed and built the engine. It has forged crank and rods (until rods were later changed to powdered forgings), the cam was machined from billet steel and the block and heads were cast and machined in our factory in Indianapolis along with the cam, crank and rods. We produced one engine every minute. After the 6.0 fiasco Ford started working to developing their own engine. Navistar turned away from quality to cost cutting and ruined their own engines. I believe Ford's first engine was the 6.7 (I left Navistar after the 7.3). The corporate atmosphere changed. When the 7.3 was being produced we believed we were the premier engine manufacturer, we were the best at what we did and we made the best engine. Even the hourly guys had the ability to halt the production line when they saw a quality problem. And they took pride in what they were producing. After the 7.3L all that changed and making a cheap engine was the goal.
The 6.0 was absolutely not a cummins design
I had a package delivery van with a 7.3. Reliable engine!! Had to change glow plugs and controllers every 3 years.. other than that it was fantastic
413k on the 96 7.3l Daily work truck towing gross 20k... the thing will not die. Slow. sure. But she starts and runs all day...
7.3 was "reliable" because it was so modestly powered. 6.0 is much faster and can hold much more power but has additional design flaws that come with that.
7.3 can't hold the power the modern and 6.0/6.4 diesels had without a complete rebuild.
350k on my 97. I love it so much I can't see ever letting it go. With an open air filter and remap it still pulls super hard. Thanks for your efforts in producing this wonderful engine.
My dad's a Ford guy. He had a 6.0 that was ALWAYS broken. He's got a new Ecoboost that's okay, but his daily driver is still a '95 7.3 Powerstroke. The only problem he ever had with that trunk was electrical and had nothing to do with the engine. It has 571K miles and is still going strong.
ecoboost is ford best new engine, its pretty amazing
571K that's insane. My 02 Suburban is at 200k and still goes like a champ. Only problem I've had was a fuel pump going out around 180k. But I was kinda asking for it since it was an original part from factory
@@TacticalTirpitzleHA!
you forgot to give it a dougscore
You're gonna regret selling that Excursion!
@moreno valley news first how much do these go for in america currently? Not perfect examples but sort of low mileage ones
I have older gentlemen asking me all the time if I wanna sell my F250 7.3L. They all say the same thing, I regret selling mine. So I’m keeping till it dies, or I die lol. My daughters always say that they are burying my truck with me.
My dad bought the 2000 7.3 excursion new for 55k sold in 2009 because of the divorce for 17k... Yea he's still pissed to this day
@@silasdietrich7464 23 years of driving and still got almost 20k for it... Thats awesome
@@jinglemyberries866 These trucks are notorious for rust damage. A stock "fair" condition truck with a 7.3 would sell between 9k and 12k. 9k with bad rot and 12k with minimal rust. A semi restored 7.3 excursion or a heavily modified one can go for upwards of 25k at auction depending on the job done. Ive seen a FULLY restored truck (showroom quality) with a 7.3 sell for 43K
Should have tried to sell it to the Car Wizard so he can tow his new yacht around, lol.
I was thinking the same thing! But shit, the bid is over 20k right now, so hoovie is probably thrilled.
Personally I'd sell it weezard, and maybe swap the interior for lariat leather. Then it would be perfect
Ope, nevermind it's at 16k right now, lol. I figured it be more
Sell it to Wizard- install maybe some aftermarket rear springs and boom! perfect tow truck.
He has GRANDMA for that!
@@jjlegend3922 17.5 now but I'm guessing it will hit 20.
*calls powerstrokes unreliable* *owns a fleet of unreliable European cars that are constantly in the shop*
Triggered Ford guy
Felix Bruh if he knew what he was talking about it would be different , also all powerstrokes were internationals untill the 6.7.
Gabe Snyder the last international was the 7.3... the 6.0 6.4 and 6.7 are Fords
anthonysvt_ No international made the 6.0 and the 6.4. Ford made the 6.7

Cars and Bids is so brilliant. I can see many more CZcamsrs using this platform to advertise their latest cars for sale. Doug has created something truly special
Doug DeMuro is going to have his own internet empire. Yes he is quite goofy in his personality and his choice of clothing but he is very very smart in the CZcams computer tech world. I give him credit because I've been watching his videos since the beginning and he has built his 2 channels and now his car auction website from nothing into a huge money maker and he will only get bigger once Cars and Bids grows which it will.
Never say no to Father Douglas, or all your quirks will become mainstream.
well boi’s we lost another one of the fleet
rip powerstroke
I have a 96 7.3 PSD. It’s got a built trans, a nice exhaust, and a 4” lift on 35’s. It’s like the passage of time, or a valley being born from a small winding river. A strong redwood cemented through millennia by its roots.
What I’m saying is that it’s slow. Really slow. But I love it.
Twin turbos? Having a hard time finding my second turbo on my f250 🤔
Mine has twin turbo one under the hood and one in the garage
These guys are dweebs and don't know shit.
They are getting confused with the gas 3.5l ecoboost...
Lol. My 6.7 and 6.0 have without a doubt outlasted most of his entire fleet in reliability. And if it’s the best SUV ever made....why not keep it? Oh because the DeLorean is more reliable. He must be a DeLorean guy
The 6.4L was a "twin turbo" diesel 2008-2010. My folks had one. It didn't have any problems but was traded in on a 6.7L before it could. The 6.0 they had before the 6.4 blew up on the guy that bought it after it was traded in. Lasted a week and head gasket went. They are on their 2nd 6.7L now with zero issues with them.
“So what’s so special about the 6.7?”
“Well, it’s not a 6.0 or 6.4...” lol
The only saving factor of the 6.0 is that your can solve it's problems. And get a reliable engine out of it. The only way you solve a 6.4s problem is with a "For Sale" sign.
@@Trichobezoar_ Hold on now, you can always cummins swap a 6.4L.
Imagine a 2008 F450 Cummins 4x4 Harley Davidson edition or king ranch edition

Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports, unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Jeep has a new Grand Wagoneer you know.
I remember im like 1998 when i went with my mom to Mexico durango. The taxi driver managed to fit 13 people in a 90 sentra. Imagine in this thing at least 60.
Kevin Hibbard 12 yards long and two lanes wide, 65 tons of american pride...
(Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts...)
I had a 97 F350 CrewCab Dually 7.3 w/5-speed. 580,000 miles on it.
-It had high performance turbo, injectors, oil pump, fuel system, clutch, and all supporting modifications.
I daily drove that truck for 3 years, towed with it, and put 93k on it.
During its lifetime, I don't think I ever saw it get below 16 MPG with an avg of 18-21 MPG. All fuel stops, mileage, and receipts recorded.
An exception would be when I towed a mobile home and left it running overnight in the winter to sleep with heat. That trip was 10~ MPG.
It leaked some oil.
The only thing that broke was a fuse due to a fuel bowl heater short.
That's it.
Tell me a 7.3 with power can't be reliable. I'll wait.
Lol I can't get over when hoovie said the massaging seats felt like sitting on an inappropriate Santa Clauses lap.
Yes, sure, old International 7.3 better than modern. I was owner of two f350 in Siberia on 1998, they was amazing.
I don't think it's fair saying "All new ford's are junk" the first iteration of 6.7 powerstrokes (2011-2013) were, in my opinion, better than the 7.3. Longevity, power load, and flat out reliability. I've heard of people with 2018+ powerstrokes having issues. But that's the third iteration of the 6.7, stick with 2012 superdutys if you want to upgrade from a high mileage 7.3.
My 2012 was bought with 200 miles. I've now got almost 400k. The only service I had, was replacing my Def tank 4 years ago. That's it. Still using the original Mastercraft batteries too.
If you want a powerstroke, stick to these years, and just stay away from 6.0/6.4s all together...
1998-2003 or 2011-2013.
Liar
didnt the 2011-13 turbines explode and fill the engine with metal?
ford are the most reliable American car brand, without a doubt better than GM or Dodge. But its absolutely nuts that a ford excursion is that price, not to long ago you could get one for 3k
Or you want old just get an 80’s ford with the international diesel. Don’t know the reliability though
And bill Hewlett of powerstroke specialty czcams.com/users/powerstrokehelp pretty much wont touch a 6.4 anymore because he considers them a throwaway engine.
Just wanted to point out a small mistake, not ragging on you just wanted to let you know. The 6.7 is not a twin turbo engine from the factory. It is a Single VGT turbo in the valley. The 6.4 was a compound turbo engine. The early 6.7 engines had a twin scroll turbocharger where it had 2 inlets for the compressor housing and the compressor wheel was 2 sided. It was a very interesting setup.
This is literally just two friends geeking over trucks 😂 i love it

@@alastairward2774 funny to see how we refer to 1.9 /2.0 L engines as "huge" on a video about a 7.3 lmao

Thats why they made it so comfortable
Y’alls chemistry is great. Would love to see more John Ross and hoovie debates!
Best episode in a while!!! Love diesel content.
so the obvious answer is put the 7.3 into the newer f-250 ;)
I don’t think it would meet the standards.

Dumb meme
Kyle899 sure I can, but my weeny isn’t tiny, so I don’t need a jacked up douche mobile. I’ll stick to my GLE 63s.
All we used until three years ago was 7.3’s and they pulled anything we hooked up to. We tried a duramax. And it did okay. Pulled well but that’s about it. We traded it in before 100000 kms. And we now have a 6.7 powerstroke and it hasn’t had any problems yet. And one thing I hate when people say Is “you need horsepower to pull” you don’t! Unless you don’t know how to pull a load. And yes they are basic but you know what it gets the work done and looks so good doing it
Everytime I hear the interior bling sounds at startup I feel like i'm at work in the work truck heading out into the field or in west texas on a job out in the field and i'm getting in the f150 rental from the outside 100deg heat.

Ya its stupid looking it wont help protect the truck with your turbo doing 60 its still gonna hurt.😁
The 6.0 is great once bulletproofed with head studs and EGR removal and then a nice tune makes it a beast. The bottom ends are quite stout 👍 I’ve had a ‘04 F350 and it has been awfully reliable. Lariat with leather and all the power features here but massaging seats and silly power step and 360degree nannie cam for a mere $48,000 in 2004 and it’s still worth half that because it’s cared for and clean and without a gazillion miles on it..
Ha looking at the excursion from the dash back, it looks like a freaking limo or bus! Anyone remember those 90s dodge ram vans that were extended and I think they were 15 passenger. LOL

Amazing how he has a decent knowledge of these diesel engines 7.3s 6.0s etc and also appreciates super cars and sports cars of all eras
We had a 1994 F-Superduty (450 cab and chassis) which had the 7.3L Powerstroke which was available mid model year to replace the non-DI engine. It blew the turbo a few times early ownership until we changed the rear end ratio to drop the revs. Retired it at 495k km as we out grew it and the reefer box wore out. Apart from a few oil drips it ran great considering how hard it was ran.
5:59 into the video. Best non intentional Owen Wilson impersonation ever 😂😂😂 Love your videos and always excited to see what the next video brings
7.3, 6.7, 6.0, 6.4 imo. Also there is a company that will transform new F250s into new excursions, and even 6 door versions as well

Wish Ford would bring back the excursion, it was a great suv. It would be awesome to get a 2020 excursion with the new 7.3 GAS v8 and the 10speed transmission.
Yes ford could knock the suburban clean off the table
The new 6.7s are the most reliable trucks on the market now. Hard to compare the old trucks to the new ones, due to regulations all companies had to re-engineer everything
To be honest the 7.3 is more affordable when they are perfect 1999 F-350 XL I could get for under $30,000 a new 6.7 upwards of $77,000 new and a used one with a much lower price is rare

Fords aren’t that reliable believe it or not
AMarqzM nope my mom had 2 wind stars that both had engine failure as well as a Taurus that blew the transmission at 90k miles. She said she will never buy a Ford again
I would take the 7.3 Liter every day and twice on Sunday over anything newer. And I LOVE the sound of the old 7.3s! Simple, reliable, rock solid. Gimme.
I love how Hoovie keeps showing us the bird sh!t on John's truck. :D

Probably also plays an audio track in a sexy little Asian female voice saying, " I so horny, I love you long time"...
Hoovie didn't even let jrgo drive the 7.3. and he was hating on his truck like the whole time I kinda feel sorry for him. Showing up to just get crapped on for a day 😂
Yeah Tyler always treats John like shit. Like john is a lower class of people...
Super annoying how he is disrespectful to his friend. Is it because he doesn't have as many subs as him? Trys to put down the new truck just because it isn't his and talks up his garbage so he can get a higher bid for it. His personality is off-putting and Ill be unsubscribing.
@@romank1102 well I wouldn't call the excursion garbage. But like I don't think tyler is a bad guy just a little to extra I guess.
@@armandomorales3809 You are right, maybe I was a little too harsh judging him. I respect your level headedness. 👍
@@lowcontrast Hoovie is a very, uptight entitled guy. JR is definitely a lower class human to Hoovie. Well at least in Tyler's eyes. The personality Tyler puts on for these videos is very acted. I've wondered why they quit making videos together as much as they used to, but I should've known. The way Tyler acted in this video was very derogatory and off putting. Went from fun little car jokes to actual elitism.
6.7L have one turbo, should have a bit of a clue if your going to talk about them.
This idiot also said 6.7’s have smaller turbos. He’s comparing non vgt to vgt, of course they feel different 🤦♂️
Guaranteed u ask him how the exhaust brake works on the 6.7L and u would get a blank stare
Well he said that the 6.7 is unreliable. When the Ford trucks about the best value right now.
@@TheTyrial86 I totally agree along with tons of other people that know what they’re talking about. He clearly didn’t do any research on either truck.
Yeah there was a few things this guy said he obviously doesn't know the difference from his asshole to the hole in the ground. And the 6.7 might not be as reliable as the 7.3 but it's not far off.
My dad has a 7.3 diesel and refuses to sell it. I don't blame him because it's 20 years old and still runs like a champ.
That's because it's an international engine not ford
Jason Voorhees 6.7’s are bulletproof once deleted. I’d pick a deleted 6.7 over a 7.3 any day.
Jason Voorhees 7.3 was great but the 6.0 and 6.4 were pure shit even at a basic long block level and both 100% International Navistar engines.
6.7 is the best medium duty diesel ever made once deleted, 100% Ford design. Seems like Ford should have been designing and building their own diesels the day they retired the 7.3.
Have to say, looking at Tyler's house he is really struggling in life.
Hes in debt up to his eyeballs lol
That CZcams check must hit different lol
He comes from money, he still does some executive work for his parents business and CZcams, hoovey is a hard worker and very smart he just plays this dumb character on CZcams
I had a V10 Triton model of the Excursion. They're worth a lot and they're very good.
Didn't that V10 like to blow sparkplugs out of the heads?
Nice engine though, drove one in a rental RV.
I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not
@@meeder78 it did if you tighten them to much.
My parents had a 2002 with the V10. They bought it right when gas prices soared. Oops. I learned how to drive in that monster. Unfortunately we were plagued with the spark plugs blowing out because of the defective heads. It did make it to 178k miles before my parents scrapped it. Shame as the body was in great shape considering we live in the Northeast.
I put 200,000 miles on a a V10 Excursion with no mechanical issues except for one blown spark plug thread at 100,000 miles. Very reliable
This is the crossover we never knew we needed
Hoover: hmm yes this car is extremely reliable
Also Hoovie: ight it’s gonna head out
The issues with the modern 6.7 powerstroke also apply to every modern diesel, the emissions shit is a headache and ruins fuel economy
I worked in engineering on the 7.3 when the govt announced the coming emissions standards for diesels. We were able to meet the requirements using something called "Ultra Low Sulfer" diesel. Maybe it isn't available now or maybe standards have gotten even tighter. Just wondering why they haven't come out with something better.
Exactly! The 6.7 is the best motor ever made, if you delete it you will never have a problem again! #FordForce
Yeah really makes no sense let's burn more fuel and add shit to it out of plastic jugs just to get rid of nox emissions it's retarded but the epa isn't known for intelligence
Those Excursions ROCK!
I miss my old 7.3! My mom though 4x4 meant it could go through anything and she ended up going through 4 feet of water and a week later the truck threw a rod and it got 22 mpg
did i just watch an episode of "friends in trucks getting coffee"?
Seems like Seinfeld should've drove up too.
The roof. The roof. The roof is on fire. Well okay. Maybe it's just a little faded. LOL. Silvers and greys are pretty common to do this. Or "ruff" as Hoovie says. Clean looking truck. I'm glad you left it stock. It should make someone a nice family truck and grocery go getter. I really love WatchJRGO's new rig as well.
The new transmissions with the 6.7's are so much better than the 7.3s though.
Agreed. At 400k miles is shifting hard on colder days, but honestly I'm impressed it's made it this far. I've never had a Ford with an automatic last this long. Changed my mind on powerstrokes 👍. Will for sure get another one.
Great video guys
I’ve had my ‘97 E350 7.3 van for 2+ years, bought it for $1,800. I’ve put considerably more in for repairs, but none engine related! At 350,600 miles, the engine is rock solid. And it hasn’t had a proper oil change the entire time I’ve had it. But that is on the agenda!
7.3 Diesel with 6 speed Manuel transmission = Perfect vehicle.
I am surprised that a manual can handle the torque of such an engine.
manuel is a mexican transmission
Que?
@@Atombender they have been behind the Cummins since the early days and may still be (was 3 years ago). Back in the day it was NV4500 which regularly lasted the life of the body of the truck at least.

6:55 Not twin turbo, just one
That's right. Neither of them know very much about diesels including most the people here in the comments, lol. Car channel.

Thank you! Single turbo in the valley!!
I was looking for this comment thank you😂

6.7 powerstroke is a monster.had a 15 i traded a few month's back.great truck!
Epic intro Hoovie! Did you get that on the first take?
For the first year or two of the 6.7 they had ceramic ball bearing turbos and they would grenade.
For the record the 6.7 Powerstroke is a single vgt turbo, not a twin turbo like the ecoboost. Just figured I'd point that out
Right? Glad I'm not the only one that caught that.
They’re mixing it up with the 6.4, the 6.7 is very reliable.
I had a ‘03 excursion xlt in bright red. Can you guess the nickname? It’s related to a certain large red dog.
It never failed to pull up our 30’ camper up an 18% grade driveway of gravel and roots. 4wd low is freaking awesome!
my dream truck is a 99-03 7.3l powerstroke full 4dr (supercrew cab) 4x4 dually and if i ever get one one ill be doing a build that never beeen done before(ive searched the entire internet) but the build will be so nice even 6.7 enthusiast would have to like it
Always good to see you two together, i think Mr Hoover and Mr Ross makes a great team!. Hope to see more collabs with you guys.
Noooo not the Excursion! Such a beast!
I drive a 2000 Ford Excursion XLT in gold, the wax I like to use for it mothers California gold really makes the gold on my truck shinny, reflective and protected.
I’ve got a 2008 f150 triton 4.6 v8 with 326k miles on It and it still runs just fine just have to keep up with the maintenance.
From what I understand the consensus is the 6.7s are fairly reliable, even the emissions systems work decently compared to previous models. Its no 7.3 of course, but much much better than the 6.0 and 6.4.
My OCD was kicking in with the twist in JR’s seat belt 😂
3:00 He already has the " Texas Ranger" Bumperguard installed. Gives that truck a much meaner look...
Mine is a 2001 F-250 with 210,000. I sure love our truck. We ordered it back in 2000!
Hoovie: “Here’s a great, not-crap car! Time to SELL!”
Me: 🙄 Still not forgiving you for selling that Lambo. 😖
Hell, I'm not forgiving him for selling his Rolls…or that Lexus Land Cruiser.
Non-crap cars means no views. I still am annoyed that he sold his NSX, but it didn’t give Hoovie enough views
The intros are getting quirkier by the episode, and *I LOVE IT*
I own a 2003 Ford F-250 7.3 Crew Cab 4x4, 59,000 miles(all original-white color-tan leather & always garaged) purchased new 12/92. I went to buy new engine 6.0 diesel but dealer told me the new 6.0 engine had issues and they extended the 7.3 due to the 6.0 engine issues. Purchased 7.3 and who new right? No engine issues ever but the truck eats tires 3rd set. I bought @ $7600 off sticker. Still have all docs too. My new Nextdoor came over and looked at my truck and he got so excited I thought he was going to faint and he told me to name my price and I told him no because I promised the truck to my son in law! Truck is a beast as the truck will lay a tire scratch with little effort. Looks like the day I bought brand new.
When the two are cruising around they reminded me of what the guys from king of the hill would say.
Hoover talking about fords being junk when he keeps buying BMW's lol.
He's an idiot but at least he openly admits it lol.
BMWs are excellent cars for making high profitable CZcams content because they break a lot and that’s why he buys them.
both are junk but ford is on another level. at least here in brazil. the only half-decent thing they have is the ranger, and maybe the fusion, but i wouldn't ever buy one precisely because it's a fucking ford. can't deal with ford's bs. worst car company ever. right up there with fiat
BMW isn’t junk, it isn’t for petty people like you.
Or Ferrari or Lamborghini
0:00 is that walk verified by the ministry of silly walks?
My 2001 7.3 diesel Excursion is the best all around vehicle I've ever owned, and I'm 71 and have had lots of cars and trucks. It just keeps running. Total reliability and with a chip on safe tow, about 23 mpg on the highway, without a load.
Hoovie....never a dumb episode...ever! By the way, love your Kansas compound.
Hoovie and his friend talking about not wanting to be the guy in a big truck that holds everyone up while merging.
Me: *Laughs in truck driver*
The 6.7 is a beautiful and wonderful engine. And so is the 7.3
With those moves at the start and the end ...you should go on DANCING WITH THE STARS ! 😄😄
I liked this interaction video,
should do more of them
