@@andrewturner7424 Appreciate the compliment. In reality every time I work on the engine I’m wiping it down. That with new parts gives the “general” appearance of being clean 🤣

@@richardbarkley9909 That’s great info as I’m about to do this again, thank you

@@73LiterTruckStuff I just replaced a 4 year old DORMAN tank that cracked. I still have my 26 year old original-its ugly but doesn't leak. I ordered a NEW MOTORCRAFT unit and installed it and in all honesty it doesn't look any better than the Dorman. I'm going to clean up my original and keep it for a spare. when/if the NEW Mororcraft leaks I'll put the original back on.

I want my AIH back about as much as I want my ex back. Looks like you have some free time on your hands, lemme know if u want her number 🤣

Yup!

Hey that means a lot, thank you. She’s had some recent upgrades and she’s running strong!

@@Littlebitz3211 heck yeah! Do it!

@@cheliospanama9786 thank you! Appreciate ya!

@@BayouBoyOutoorsCongrats! I would 100% buy a hydro tuner. Night / day difference. Since you’re doing hotshot I’d also buy a CTS3 to track your engine diagnostics/temps as well as buy a MIshimoto transmission cooler (2x the original size and it fits perfectly). You’ll thank me later for this setup!

@@73LiterTruckStuffWhat modes do you recommend to make a 7.3 louder and whilst more but still stay relabel

@@Nubako463 For a stock turbo the wicked wheel is a solid mod. Labor aside it’s inexpensive compared to a new turbo, creates a great sound and more HP from a stock platform.

Hell yeah dude! That’s awesome!

Tanks holding up great but it has yellowed. I have a Mishimoto metal tank that I’m going to install

So the engine was designed to run at 203 but when Ford dropped them in the trucks they made a few modifications and one of those was a lower temp thermostat. It’s commonplace these days to replace the thermostat for the originally designed 203 degree thermostat

@@73LiterTruckStuffis there an issue with running a lower temperature thermostat? I just ordered mishimoto lower temp which runs at 189…now I’m second guessing the purchase.

@@joshuafoster6764 No not at all my man. One of the adjustments that Ford did to the (tractor) engine when putting it in the truck was the thermostat. The engines were apparently developed to be ran with a higher temp then Ford put in the engines so dudes are swapping them out now is all.

Yeah it’s a larger upgrade that in time I’d like to replace for sure

Welcome and I’m very happy with it as well.

I haven’t added a new one yet. I have a Mishimoto trans cooler and I wanted to add a Mishimoto radiator at the same time.

Yeah she’s one of the best upgrades I’ve done to the truck

Then make a better video and show me what right looks like stud…

@@73LiterTruckStuff I like the way you did it. I don't like the product.

@@jerrygunner5322 Thank you Jerry. Working on a single father budget here… 🤣 Doin’ my best brother.

It’s been a couple years and I’ve towed a bunch of cars and it’s still going strong. The only thing that changed is the black finish has shifted more into a faded OD Green color. Hitch still looks badass and works fantastic all around.

I’m so glad to hear you had the same experience as I did!

Hey Paul! Appreciate the comments, keep ‘em coming. I will say I didn’t see a difference in the smoke but then again I put in a remanufactured engine in a short while back so that may be helping things

Yeah I agree. Imagine it was either an EPA concession of sorts or a good-idea-fairy gone wrong… either way it had to go 🤣

I absolutely noticed a performance increase and better fuel mileage and it already had an aftermarket air filter before. S&B gave me nothing for the vid, I bought the filter as a regular dude and still love it so I highly recommend.

@@73LiterTruckStuff Thanks Much!

That’s awesome dude!!

@@73LiterTruckStuff I list the parts 👆🏻 above

@@tominaklan9702 kool! What channel?

Yeah man! Make it your own!

I have a 2000 f350 4x4 4 door and long bed and going to put $300,000 busks in her

@@davidpaulfox3449 Dear lord, make vids, link me, small community and we support you!

I start from all the way down to the flame and rebuild from flame up

I will say I haven’t had the same experience. This specific wrap even held it’s color which I didn’t expect. I’ll take the wins where I can get them 🤣

Literally the price of the truck. I had the option to spend 2k and put all back together and try and sell it at a loss or spend what was the amount I paid for the truck for it to have a brand new engine with some bells and whistles strapped on it. I said screw it and got the new motor because I love this truck.

Appreciate you!!

Chuck, thanks for reaching out and i appreciate your support. The original wrap was much thicker then the blue wrap that I installed so that bought me some space and I ensured I adjusted the pipe just enough when I was clamping it down that it wasn’t rubbing after this install. As for the rubber seal, that was actually an Amazon purchase! Super easy install.

Has the Blue wrap faded white ?

@@chuckparson6712 Belive it or not, it’s held it’s color really well.

@@73LiterTruckStuff Do you have a link to buy it through your channel ?

I feel like there’s a follow-on question you have to this comment

Dorman 42647 Front Driver Side Windshield Wiper Arm Compatible with Select Ford Models a.co/d/8XchLQg

Quick check on Amazon for a 2002 ford f350 showed Dorman (not OEM) had drivers & passenger side wiper arms in stock & they are the same type as mine. Hopefully these fit your truck.

Appreciate ya! I have a “wicked wheel 2” inside the stock garret turbo and an S&B air intake with a 5 inch straight pipe exhaust. Makes for some great sound.

That’s the intent!

I really do love riffraff products. Paying a premium premium price for a premium product is the right answer if you’re into the build for the long and quality haul

@@73LiterTruckStuff I think I have about every part Riffraff offers for my 01 7.3. Just got done with the CS2 tuner and gauges. It shows boost, EGT, fuel pressure, oil pressure and coolant temp.

@@vincebotkin1960 Gettin nothing for this from RiffRaff I can tell you that.... I feel the same way! ha! There have been times I've bought RiffRaff parts and realized later I didn't need them because I had already bought the parts from another manufacturer and just hadn't installed them yet, ha! Great company tho- I love what they stand for.

Dude, best of luck. The only other thing it could be is if the electronics are pinched in the door jam area. So if the windows work with the door open and not when the door is closed, you have to crack open the boot the electrical wires run to from the dash to the door and repair the frayed wires. Starting with the switch though is a great place to start.

Wheat.. I added a few links; one link for coolant for the 7.3 and one link for 7.3 coolant additive. Hope this helps! Best! -Geoff with 7.3LiterTruckStuff

@@73LiterTruckStuff thanks I'll be ordering both items👍👍👍

@@73LiterTruckStuff what is the proper way to mix it. Because my 99 7.3 says I should mix it 50/50. Im assuming you mix it with water. So 50% coolant 50% water?

Appreciate that feedback for sure. Great idea, I’ll look into that ASAP!

Suggestion would be to check the wiring harness at the hinge point of the door. Open the door, slide the plastic boot back to expose the wires coming from the cab into the door. Over time as we open/close the door, wires will break at that pinch point. Best of luck!

Hey I really appreciate the engagement. I hope you have an amazing build and have as much fun as I have working on these rigs. More vids to come for sure.

Learning as I go!

Appreciate the feedback Blake. I used a clamp tool, widened the clamp, slid it out of the way and pulled the reservoir right out. The same was true in reverse. Maybe my hoses and clamps were on the newer side but that part was a 60 second job for me. I do recommend the clamp remover tool, makes it way easier then needle nose pliers.

@@73LiterTruckStuff I ended up in pain using my fingers. But it worked, and then I felt very manly. LOL Edit: For those interested, lift the reservoir up enough to move the spring clamp down from the reservoir nipple, then work the hose loose being careful to keep it pulled up enough to prevent coolant from spilling out. There's enough give in the hose to allow that. Do the reverse when installing the new tank. Then curse the lame engineer who designed a built-in cracking mechanism in a cyclicly pressurized reservoir.

@@Blake4Truth Welp… that’s one way to do it! Great job gettin’ er done!

TJ! Thank you for this feedback. Drivers side barely pushes fluid, passenger side is much better. I bought a gallon of “cleaning vinegar.” Questions: 1.) Do I need to syphon out the window washer fluid first? 2.) What’s the ratio of vinegar to water? 3.) Do I just keep the nozzles on spray for a while? Let it sit? Thanks again for the advice!

@@73LiterTruckStuff I installed new nozzles. Very simple and world of a difference. I wouldn't even bother trying to clean them

@@CHRIS_NYC Yeah I need to order up some nozzles, where did you get them from?
