Great video, thanks for the information! What are the measurements on those front buckets?
I’m not near the truck. But it’s been posted in the comments elsewhere.
But how hard is this with engine still installed? How much stuff do i uave to move out of the way
It’s not horribly bad. There isn’t a lot to move out of the way. It’ll be mostly wiring.
All that and we didn't get to hear it run?
It sounds like any other 7.3. Haha
Great to see progress on this. That first start once the column and engine bay harness are in will be so satisfying.
Yeah. And it’ll start good too! As long as I did everything right.
Great video. Thanks Garrett.
Thank you!
Lots of good info thanks man, What’s the measurements on those front buckets?
It’s in the comment section somewhere. I’m not near the truck to measure it at the moment.
Lots of good info thanks man, What’s the measurements on those front buckets?
It’s in the comments section. I am not near the truck currently. Sorry.
Really good video just what i needed!!!
Awesome! Glad it helped you!
Great video. Do you happen to have a video of removing the rest of the hvac stuff from the cab ? How hard is that compared to taking the dash off .
I have a few videos up of installing it all. So it would be in reverse of that. It would kind of give you an idea at least. Check out Gary’s F350 playlist.
It’s not very hard once the dash it out. Not a lot holds that all in
@@GarrettsOBSGarage thanks very much for the response . I have a cab swap to do on my 95 . Seems like these cabs are so common for rusting out in my area luckily I found a good one
@@MarkWilliams-vp7xw extremely common! They are easy to keep rust free but no one wants to do the work. Glad you found one!
I've done this multiple ways. Most recently adding circuit to factory PDM. Worth the extra time to have it clean and reliable.
Adding it to the factory box is always the cleanest way!
I think ill stick to vegetable oil. And analog N/A engines. Works best for long distance travel. back and forth to the local 7 eleven not so much. . And haveing a truck thats OE with, 2 tanks is quite handy. . Still interesting, hadn't even heard about this being a thing. Dealing with the pre-combston chamber 7.3s
This retains both tanks, and this is for a powerstroke and not an IDI. The E fuel upgrade has been a big thing on the PSD for a long time now
Pulling the power distribution box buss bar to add hot side fuse clips can be a delicate pain in the ass.
@@abpsd73 it’s not horrid. Lol
So much for all those guys claiming they did efuel for $300, lol. Everyone knows they’re lying because the pump itself is $100. I figured it wasn’t a whole lot cheaper to piece it together, and then you risk the whole “I can’t drive my truck because I forgot that one $0.50 fitting” problem. I never imagined Marty (or Irate, 444Fab, etc.) were getting rich selling the kits
Exactly! To do it right, you’re spending just about the same money.
@@GarrettsOBSGaragethe ones who are doing it for half the price are cheaping out, and are also the one who are probably posting all the time because they have issues.
There was a time when an e-fuel kit for an OBS was ~$800. Sure it's plug and play and you're paying for the convenience that someone else did all the thinking for you. I didn't buy a kit since I wanted to do things "my way" and do things like eliminate the banjo bolt and wishbone line, and do a different filter and pump mounting.
@@abpsd73 yeah. A very long time ago
What brand and where did you get your track bar bracket. The spacing in the holes that mount on the frame on my bracket I bought are narrower than yours and I need the same bracket that you got on yours. Thank you!
It came from the donor truck. It was an 05-07 era frame. Other years may not work. It is an OEM Track bar bracket.
garrett, great video buddy.
Thank you!
Hi Garret I’m currently doing this swap on my obs with a set of 05 axels. In the rear I’ve run into a few problems. There’s a stud in the rear shock mounts so I’m not sure how to tackle that in order to flip the shock mount around. And if cutting it off and welding one back on is my best option. Also the speed sensor is a different connector let me know if you have a good solution for those issues?
Don’t worry about the locating pin on the axle. When you flip the shock bracket around, once you get it in the right spot and tighten it down. It’ll stay where I my is. Use you’re original VSS in the rear axle, not the 05+ one.
Thank you very much
You’re welcome!
Is the 08 and up track bar mount the same as the 05-07? It seems like they are. Thanks
If I’m not mistaken, 2005-2016 uses the “same” bar.
I have a '97 F-SuperDuty, 2WD, and it has a 161" wheelbase with a 12' bed. It has cabinets and toolboxes on it, but it only weighs 7550 per the registration. I've been looking for a 4WD, and figured I could cut down the bed and get a shorter driveshaft, but it always seems to be more work than I want to do. My property has a very steep driveway, which is why I've been wanting a 4WD. The problem with that era of trucks seems to be that the GVWR is not that high, 15000 is much lower than even an F-250 SuperDuty built today, which is over 20000 lbs. The OBS F-250s are only around 8800 GVWR, so even though I can find something with a diesel (I have the 7.5L 460ci), the GVWR doesn't gain me anything, it loses me in fact.🙄 I've always though my truck would be nicer if it was a bobtail. Mainly because 8'x12' bed is a problem driving around town. EDIT: FWIW, I only get 8 MPG on my truck also...<ouch> Have you had to replace the steering column? That's a major job in itself...in fact the entire ignition system was designed by a moron.
A new F250 has a GVWR of around 10,000. Give or take whatever suspension package it’s got. Steering columns are easy, it’s explained in the dash removal video I have posted. 460 trucks get between 8-10 as typical fuel mileage. 4x4 swapping one of these old F-Superduties is always a lot of work depending on which route you want to go. And either one you take isn’t cheap sadly.
@@GarrettsOBSGarage don't know which F-250s you're looking at but I see the SuperDutys with over 20,000 lb. GVWR. OBS model F-250 HD only gets 10,000 lb. GVWR. Let's not confuse payload with GVWR.
@@konoctiswigwam8130 I think you’re looking at tow ratings. GVWR is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. Which doesn’t include towing capacity.
@@GarrettsOBSGarage Yes, GVWR includes both the vehicle weight and the payload. How much payload do you get on an OBS F-250 HD ? End of story. My GVWR on my F-SuperDuty is almost twice what the 250 is. Mine has power brakes front and back with an 11,000 lbs. rear axle. I can comfortably haul 7,000 lbs. And to think that an old OBS 250, even the HD, can hold it's own against even a 10,000 lb. trailer is absurd. A lot has improved. Having a diesel and 4WD would be ideal, but I have a lot of machines to haul and I can't afford a diesel that can do that.
@@konoctiswigwam8130 F-Superduty GVWR is 15,000. A 95 F250 with a 7.3 is 8800. A 2017 F250 with a 6.7 is 10,000 GVWR. Which is weight of vehicle plus payload. A 2024 F350 can be 14,000 GVWR, a 2024 F550 can be 19,500 GVWR depending on options and a 2024 F600 is 22,000 GVWR. Those are specs straight from Fords website. Each of those trucks weigh differently depending on options and upfitted equipment. So, what they can put in the bed is different for each truck. Either way. Only one of those trucks is over 20,000 and it’s the F600. Towing, all of the 1995 HD trucks have a 10,000 pound tow rating for bumper pull. I don’t know what the new trucks can tow. But it’s obviously more.
Your level of explanation is very good !
I try to be informative! Thank you!
Where did you get the axles from?
Anywhere I can find them. Guys parting trucks out, or salvage yards.
@@GarrettsOBSGarage are they just the ones off of f450/f550 trucks? Since they are bigger?
@@maddox1993100 oh the axle shafts themselves! I got them from Summit Racing. You can’t use the 450/550 ones directly because they would be too long.
@@GarrettsOBSGarage thank you sir!
@@maddox1993100 you’re welcome!
Your shitting me lol! Were both set up almost the same, except mine was a 94IDI I did a 96 PS swap on! Flat white w satin clear, rear line lock for parking brake. AWSOME trucks!!
These trucks are hard to beat!
No wonder I put in led turn signals and it was doing some weird things thank you so much for this video!
I’m glad it helped you!!!
Nice job
Thank you!
Garrett, love your videos man please keep them coming ! It’s awesome how informative you are with everything
@@jackfanton7756 I try to make useful videos that actually help. So thank you!
Nice stand! how did you get that beast out with everything on it? Did you pull the cab?
The stand has done well! I’ve pulled cabs off and I’ve also pulled them out with out hoods on. Usually the cab off is on a SD and Hood off is an OBS.
@@GarrettsOBSGarage Thanks. I like the idea of having the engine on a stand to do my upgrades, but I don't like the idea of lifting the cab or dismantling the front end.
It’s all a process, sadly. Fighting the process can make it harder in the long run though.
Is this a diesel?
Yes
Wow, that's a clean 30 year old truck. Great score. This might be a good truck to paint the frame, undercarriage, and inside the bumpers with mastercoat. I wish my undercarriage was that clean and rust free. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Thanks Garrett
This truck is likely going to stay this way for a long time. Don’t wanna coat anything on it. It’ll never see any form of winter driving. It’s really amazing to see how nice and clean it is for its age!!! Over time, probably just fix the things that need fixed or repaired.
That thing looks pretty good. Way better than anything we have in the frozen north. Too bad the painter didn't have a bit more attention to detail. I noticed the driver side reverse light has a blotch of blue where they missed the masking (when they should have just popped out the tail lights.) Looks like they just masked the extended cab windows too. My second gen Ranger had one of those muffin cup heatshields on the radius arm bushing.
Yeah. Whoever painted it really lacked attention to detail. Other than that. It’s great! I’ve never seen a truck with the heat shield on the bushing. That was a first for me.
Thank you!! Great video man!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hi what is the name of that tool to remove the hangers on the exaust??
Exhaust Hanger Removal Tool or Pliers
Super helpful thank you
What intake pipe is that?
The silver truck has an Irate T4 kit on it. It’s the intake supplied by them.
Excellent 3 part series, Garrett. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Thanks! I hope it helps people out trying to get e fuel installed!
I couldn’t find your email but I’m in the middle of this on my e99. Did you end up needing an adjustable track bar because my axle is shifted towards the drivers side. Also, could I not just use the factory steel brake lines where they’re at and run the rubber lines on the rear side of the buckets?
That’s all covered in the video, but I replied to your email.
Btw: @6:10 the light green wire also goes to the ECU, thats where it monitors the brake light circuit...
Yes. Which is why you’d need resistors if using LEDs.
Im shocked to see that truck still using the factory transmission coolant line radiator.
Truck was always cared for!
I have a 7.3 with a rear main leaking like crazy. Great video.
The proper tool really helps. Hope you get it fixed!
Can you give me a more in depth description on what you did with the break lines that is what im currently stuck on with my axle swap.
I used all the 05+ soft lines and made my own from there. Depending on your truck, will depend on the size of the line and it’s routing.
What are the torque specs for the crossover to manifold bolts?
There are no torque values given for the crossover. Reason being it is sold as a whole unit, crossover and intake, and there "should" be no need to remove it. With that being said, dismantling the crossover from the manifold is not recommended by the manufacturers by their lack of torque specifications for that part. We all know thats the best thing to do, and install the RTV, so I went by feel on the bolts, and being that there is no value stated, or printed, I can't really tell you an exact number. If you have an older, manual torque wrench, you could see how much torque it requires to remove the bolts and reinstall with a similar value.
@@GarrettsOBSGarage the crossover was so loose when I bought the manifold that I could take the bolts out with my fingers.
@@FrankRizzo707 wow. That’s pretty interesting. Go until you’re comfortable I’d say.
I have to look into those shorter filters, I think NAPA has a listing for them as well since I'm doing a sort of fuel setup on a non-PSD where I'm contending with smaller frame rails.
The short filters are handy for sure. Easier to hide them!
👍 looking forward to the next video. Thanks
Nice job 👌
Thank you!
Thanks for the great info 🤝🏽
U may have to do a pre pump solutions kit to go with it. My vacuum readings were too high. I disconnected the rear lines at the selector valve and ran lines into a container with diesel. Ran the truck and the vacuum dropped to acceptable ranges. The stock rear lines are too restrictive for the pump. They say the pre pump kit will fix this issue. Just ordered my pre pump kit today. unless you are eliminating your selector valve?
This system is working currently. And has no restrictions or vacuum issues running the OEM setup.
It does more than the flashing on an E4OD transmission. The LED has HIGHER not lower resistance. The ECU sends a small current through the circuit to ground thru the light circuit. This small current (milli-amps) tells the ECU the circuit is complete. Then When the brake lights are activated this becomes a positive voltage and tells the ECU the brakes are on and it unlocks the torque converter (in addition to the other functions)
The process is a complicated one for sure. And most people wouldn’t understand how it works. This is why people have issues with the multifunction switch cancelling cruise, because the transmission is extremely sensitive to the voltage. So, yes. You’re correct, but it’s a very in depth explanation that most wouldn’t understand. So I made this video so that it was understandable to everyone.
@@GarrettsOBSGarage Yes, I agree, and the E40.D is a complicated transmission.It's a great transmission when it's working though and it is extremely strong
Thank you much for the vid! How much did the install cost you? Or how much would you charge someone? I def don’t have the lift or knowhow for such a job. One dude quoted me $13k. At that price I should just buy a 05-07 diesel. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
He’s not far off as long as he’s replacing literally EVERYTHING. He was under 13 and that included a new rear diff, and a bunch of new parts and upgrades to the axles. Including install. Each truck will cost a different amount. Depending on what your donor needs. And what your truck needs. And what you want. This truck needed all new brakes, new rear diff, new ball joints and universals and unit bearings. All new steering and steering stabilizers. Blue top steering box. All new brake lines. It’s pretty much “new” from the frame down.
What ampage/voltage did you set your welder to😊
I honestly don’t remember. I have a digital welder, that doesn’t really give you those specifics anymore
Would you sell that dash
Possibly. Shipping it would be a nightmare
@@GarrettsOBSGarage yeah I thought of that too, I’m in Florida and it’s impossible to find a good dash here cause the heat makes them all crack
@@pablo_santos29 you’re not the first person I’ve heard that from lately! They crack up here too, just not as bad.
Why Marty’s over other kits? From what I can tell Marty’s kit seems to be the most popular.
Marty has excellent customer service. And has the most convertible kit on the market right now. It’s adaptable and easy to figure out.
Nice work 👍
Thank you! There are two more parts to this coming!
