Throw a moving blanket in your truck...they help separate the rocks from the shoulder blades. Folded up they separate the jack extensions from the knees when praying over the valley. Can you tell I'm getting old but still love working on my 7.3's?!! A bad battery connection (or separation between the right hand and brain) likely fried the starter when the chip wouldn't let it start. And yes, it's far harder than it looks to produce UA-cam videos. I have great respect for anyone who is successful at it. Trying to set up your GoPro under a truck AND actually be able to see what is being done is near impossible and all the while you want to get the job done and get out from under there. Keep up the great work!
Best work truck I ever drove 1997 f350 7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel . Had 300k+ miles , interior was almost perfect condition. Would pull a 18ft enclosed car hauler trailer loaded with commercial lawn equipment without any complaints. Could even pass people on the highway to switch lanes lol . Unloaded truck would scoot real nice .
To bad ytube doesn't send me notifications like they used to. But I guess later is better than not see you again at all. I just have to remember to keep checking your site every so often. Thanks for an interesting video Blake. Please do more.
Blake lucky its not a 4.5litre V8 diesel Toyota Landcruiser as the starter is located in the valley of the V on top of the block under the manifold and the injector lines.
I had one of those skid steers that quite driving on one side it had stripped out the little shaft that the pump drives and goes into the planetary. All the parts were still available from case.
I got old. Too damn old and couldn't lean over the fenders anymore. My valve cover gaskets were the original ones but at just two hundred thousand on the clock on a rig that looked like it was still new, that clean with no rust... five speed dually custom flatbed, gooseneck and the plus list just went on. I did the passenger side and only one glow plug had juice going to it so figured the drivers side must be as bad. I never liked those on the 95 models with all the different connections on them to go wrong... I'd already done the quarter under the edge deal... you know what I'm talking about...... so its hot outside, I hurt so bad just to move and working with crutches for the past ten years you would think I would of took to them better. I could start it easy enough until it wouldn't and a guy sees me trying to fix it and instead of offering to help, he offers me his rig, same year Explorer on its best day worth six or seven hundred dollars. It was too hot to fix when I could and now winter hit me hard here in alaska so when he offered I took it and the next day wanted to shoot myself.... do it slowly cause my truck not running was ten times this pile. /Sellers remorse
Have not seen much from the Guy in WY for awhile. That flex plate is going to continue to cause problems. It does not seem that the starter gear will last to long with the much wear on the starter ring. I changed the starter bendix on an ATV while trying to fix a spark issue. By the time I was done it needed another bendix. So I found a good used rotor so when I pull the rotor to change the bendix . I will install all good parts that should last for a few years. But if the starter gear cannot lock in they just grind. Thank you for another nice video.
Great video, I'm glad to see you making new stuff again. Thanks for your sacrifice, it sounded like you were about to go into a cussing fit there, lol.
My friends 7.3 had a TS 6 position tuner in it and the truck would randomly shut off at red lights. Always fired back up. When he removed the tuner it went away. That truck has well over 400,000 miles on it.
FYI on the DP chip, which I have on my 2001 7.3, they have a security setup that if by chance was activated it well cause a no start so the truck can not be stolen. Just going by what I saw. Good 👍 to see you making videos again, hope all is well.
Good video with some great info. Good to see posting some content. By the way I believe my grandson does some towing for u once in awhile. Keep up the good work, be safe.
Have you ever thought about coming down to TX? You would have tons of business around here in Childress and not deal with the brutal WY winters (but, with the TX summers... LOL).
97 f350 couldn't figure out why trailer lights were acting up .. brake light switch saw faulty.. girl at autozone said thats what it probably was hahaha... she was right .
There are a couple of large plugs in the wiring harness near the rear of the cab and the rear of the bed. If the fuses are good, check under the hood and the dash, I’d check those connections.

Thanks for the ride along. I really do look forward to your videos. Good luck with the case.

A little set of flex sockets may help with the cordless ratchet. Harbor Freight has less expensive sets.
Good repairs on the 7.3 . Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience on equipment & truck repairs. Take care.

9 hours to replace the starter motor.
I bought a veto- propack in 08 and still use it. Only tool bag I ever had that lasted over 1 year.
I had one of those skid steers that quite driving on one side it had stripped out the little shaft that the pump drives and goes into the planetary. All the parts were still available from case.
When the camera fell over I thought I was watching Bruce's Shop (Bruce Pender) glad that was an easy fix.
Good to see you back at it good luck
Thanks Blake, youtube is boring with out you!

I have yet to take the dive into cordless tools but if I do it'll be the Hobo freight edition..poor folk got poor ways

We need to double check that chain before we slate that motor for junk
Thank You. 😃
Awesome to see more adventures with Blake. Hope Rika & Ivy are doing well. And V.
Hike looks like great experience.
Just another fun day on the job! Good to hear from you.
Good to have you back on UA-cam ! Good video Blake !
I always mean to put safety glasses on when working under a vehicle, and remember why when I get there.
Great to hear from you! Nice troubleshooting.
Great video, I'm glad to see you making new stuff again. Thanks for your sacrifice, it sounded like you were about to go into a cussing fit there, lol.

I've had the harbor freight electric ratchet version for a while I'm not nice to it and it still works not bad for a hundred bucks
Had me fooled i thought for sure it was going to be no oil pressure
Yes the glories life of a field mech.

Nice to see a video from you Thanks.

That thing is a pile!! No wonder the ring gear is shot!
Good video with some great info. Good to see posting some content. By the way I believe my grandson does some towing for u once in awhile. Keep up the good work, be safe.

glad to see a video from you agian
Great video Blake. 🙂👍
Do UA-cam they said 😂😂😂
Awesome Blake,keep it coming.Thankyou
You might think this is funny but I was watching our Wyoming life when you're notification came across the screen .
thanks for the video
Good stuff Blake.
Heck the cam position sensor. That will be a crank no start. Also the tack will no move while cranking.
Nice video, thanks!
Entertaining and informative.
21st... Blake are you still ranching, I really liked your ranch/ hay videos.
P.s. still like your videos, I would love to see the bale bed in action!
Have you ever had the marker lights on the back half of a 99 f250 stop working but the cabs still work
97 f350 couldn't figure out why trailer lights were acting up .. brake light switch saw faulty.. girl at autozone said thats what it probably was hahaha... she was right .
@@codyramos3200 brakes and turn work running lights or marker lights worked then just stopped

@@GuyinWY thank you
the chip killed the starter? i know someone who had their starter get fried after installing a chip
Ours is dead to dodge to the rescue
💥 Hey Guy in Wyoming! How close are you to Lusk Wyoming? Was through there not long ago and looked like your area.
*Keep on tractoring!* 👍
I’m a little south of there, about an hour.
What type of starter did you put on that? It just whips that engine over! I need one!!
Off the shelf Napa replacement.
@@GuyinWY Thanks for the reply!
👍👍👍👍
First!! Love the channel!!
