    It never fails, once you start taking one of these engines apart, you find broken parts. They will limp along until you finally notice, and fix it, then they are like a whole new engine again!

      These trucks are still worth putting money into them to fix them. Yea it's gonna cost you a little but once everything is fixed you will have many trouble free years and miles. I can't think of any other vehicle that is worth putting money into but these trucks.

    Glad to see Bill and Mikey working on an "old" 7.3. A little bit of maintenance and this man's truck is good for another 275,000 miles. Not slurring the boys in Flowery Branch that Bill refers the 7.3 crowd to as I'm sure they are competent or he wouldn't send people that way, these guys (and Diesel Tech Ron, RIP) literally wrote the book on what needs attention and how to work on a 7.3. Thank you, Bill, for helping us old school 7.3 guys out. There are still a bunch of us out there who appreciate y'all and all that you have done (and hopefully will continue to do) for the 7.3. Happy Thanksgiving.

    Awesome video! I live in South Louisiana, I been watching your videos for years, I have a 2002 F250 7.3 I purchased new off the showroom, it currently has 280k and the only parts that I have had to replace under the hood is a cam sensor, ICP sensor, IRR valve, water pump and alternator, everything else is still OEM, few small leaks but your videos in the past have really helped me keep my old 7.3 running like new! Keep up the good work and happy Thanksgiving!

      Ha that's dirty compared to mine. Mines only got 128k miles. Alls it's got is a tune intake and exhaust. Slow as hell. Also got me a 400hp 12v. Was my first diesel. Except it's got 390k heavily abused probably 10k between oil changes all it's life. Still like driving it more. Just that it's winter and it's got no ac no more

    • @gr8guitarplayer
      @gr8guitarplayer Před 4 lety

      How bout it! Mine too. But hell, with 308k I ain't complaining. I assume some of the leaks are from ULSD. I did the fuel bowl rebuild a few years back, so that was time & money well spent, but she's still dirty under the hood. But I can go out and fire it up right now, after sitting for 3 weeks, several days below freezing, and with just a couple key cycles, and about a 10 second crank, it'll fire right up. I have a 15 Lariat with the 6.2 now for my DD, but I just can't seem to part with the 7.3L.

    Thanks for the video. Just had this problem last weekend. We woke up at camp in a 26 degree morning and my 02 7.3 would not start. Had the same thing happen 2 years ago and the mechanic said that it was the solenoid so he replaced both of them. I did manage to get it started with a couple of squirts of starting fluid. Now I think I can test the heating coils and remedy the problem. I'm not sure if he used Ford relay's or not. Should I replace the injectors at the same time. I have 504,000 miles on my truck and never have changed anything.

    Few weeks ago one morning when it was like 23 degrees here in North Carolina my dad went out to start our 95 F350 Powerstroke and it ran like like crap for the first few seconds then smoothed out. Ran like a 454 big block Chevy with a big loppy cam. Morning before was 2 or 3 degrees warmer and started like a champ. Also on a side note the 94.5 to 97 7.3L are fun when it comes time to replace a fuel pump. That banjo bolt is a royal pain to put back in. Also my uncle that use to work on these trucks at the local Ford dealership also told me that when you pull the glow plugs or even the fuel injectors that you want to spin the engine over and blow any trash out of the cylinder. Not sure if it's true or not and I'm damn not going to try and tell a professional how to do their job.

    I could really use some great advice I know someone can offer here I have the 7.3 2003 excursion very close to 500,000 miles I removed injectors and had rebuilt last year reinstalled with new glow plugs summer warmer months runs like a clock no issues also I suspected no start issue and replaced glow plug relay module a year ago no issues since then now colder months I plug in heater still no issue will start and run fine one day it's not freezing but close 34 degrees I did not plug in heater it started but started to idle rough then died like it was out of fuel to get it going again took heating block for a couple hours and jump start to keep charge on batteries it finally started after several cranks about 20 times I checked code reader and came up with injector pressure sensor so I never replaced before it did have oil in the wire connectors again I did not plug in heater outside temp 40 degrees and it again started rough and died like it was out of fuel and took again heating block and several cranks to finally start once started runs fine fuel pump was also replaced a year ago prior to the injectors thinking pump issue was not is I did check voltage to glow plug relay and it does have voltage to switched side with ignition on wire harness? Or something else?

    Hi
    I have a 7.3L powerstroke.
    A sticker on the engine is saying December 18 of 1998. How could you determine if this is late or earlier generation of the engine. What is the easiest visual method?
    Thank you and have a great day.
    How

      As far as early or late 1999, yours would be the early 99, anything after 22 March 99 would be a late 99... mostly this affects the front hubs on the 4x4 (2 wheels ABS vs 4 wheel ABS).

    36 degrees?!?!?! SHIT! It's 17 degrees this morning in Minnesota and I took my garbage can down to the street in a t-shirt. And my driveway is an 1/8th mile long.
