@@Getrektscrub69 You can almost get into first with zero input on the accelerator with 1st gear. 2nd is more likely a regular setup where you need to feather the accelerator pedal a little as you let the clutch out. You can give it before if its easier, but its a light touch. I find the grabbing point for my 7.3 ZF5 is really close to the floor. The pedal feels like its about halfway, but if i listen and feel the actual truck, in engages closer to the floor. I've been using first just to be easy on my clutch. Its slow as hell but its more forgiving.
I have a 2000 7.3 with a ZF5 swap I usually grab first and let the truck roll out of my dead end road and grab 2nd before I hit the end…. Zero acceleration needed for first gear… gotta keep the neighbors happy lol
Import a 5.9 cummins 6BT used, they last forever and are cheap. They will fit in almost any truck ford, GM, or dodge made. Also they work well in small lorrys.
i plan on buying a long bed 4-door obs with an auto as a tow rig. I love manual in diesel trucks but i would rather have a auto as a daily and as a tow rig. Loved the video tho, that truck is awesome and sounds amazing dude.
dont know why I liked the vid he just drives left and then left and then straight than left I guess its like Blair witch project movie just waiting for SOMETHING to happen ....can you take the trash off the dash...thanks
what were you thinking?..i hauled horses down to Colorado, following a 5.9 cummins with 2 on 2 stallions going 80 on some hilley road, mean while i had 8 mares on me and that 7.3 pulled every hill at 70
@@nalley6815 i own a 97 and i swear they are so overrated like i came from a 12v and that thing had way more torque and I could make it drift in third gear getting on the interstate and my 7.3 is a manual as well put a hp hydra and it made a big diffrence towing but still nothing like a 12v and i grew up hearing ford was the best ever sure but cummins is better after driving both maybe the truck isnt but 20 mpg going 85 vs 12mpg at 80 in my 7.3
Fuck. That sounds good. I haven't seen if you have anymore bidgeos yet. But I'm going to check right..... Good shit man. I hope she's still running strong. Now.
Now that was when Ford made a good diesel that 6.4L and 6.7L were junk my '99 7.3L turbo diesel 5-speed still runs like the day I bought her the only thing I ever did was replace the bed and fix the rust I don't care what kind of truck it's going to rust especially if you live in the Mid-Atlantic and New England states but the engine will last forever as long as you maintain her.
You could release a new video like this one every week and I'd watch it on my big screen like this one. Just kill the dome light and put something on the seat to kill the rattle ;) Awesome rig!
4.10 gears, great for pulling, that's about it. At 2700rpm I'm cruising 90-95 with 3.55s and 305/70/16 tire wheel setup lol. still never use 1st, 3rd I have to double clutch cause the synchro is gone.
Awesome truck can you make a video on how to shift sooo smothly youre a fucking badass at shifting am 17 and well my shifting is ok but yours is top charts man !!!!
I have a question. I want to get more into trucks and I want a manual 7.3. I’ve seen some that are 5 speed and some that are 5 but have an extra thing labeled “L” (low) on the shifter. What is that for and what does that mean for the truck?
+Wyatt willard Dude! Always wear your seatbelt! It's there for a reason plus I hear those old f series pickup's aren't that strong in a head on crash. Nice camera angle by the way!
i t boned a van that ran a stop sign doing 90km/h. front end was fucked no doubt but with no air bags that truck saved my life! crew cab long box and my head went through the driver door window but that’ll happen 😂
Hey just wondering but I’m getting same exact truck next week and I was wondering what all mods you put on the truck and if you know your mpg... I know it won’t be good just wondering
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?! That's a bunch of crap. Mines a 97 F350 XLT, PSD, crew cab, LWB, long bed, and dually and this is the garbage i get? You lucky son of a gun!!
Haha! I have the front bench seat with the flip down center console so I guess thats cool. I really want that black interior though! I'm jealous. She sounds good too!
its 11pm i smoked some pot and now im watching some guy drive around the block for 5mins wtf
Its exactly 11:01 when i read this. Stoned as well x) ha
hahaha!!!
Same man same
I'm bad off. I got pot in the drawer and I'm sober watching some guy drive around the block lol
MONEYBAGS603 me to 😭
Thanks for the Lyft man! 5 stars! I’ll leave u a tip on the app
Love the manual 7.3s
manual the best
Music to fall asleep to... This reminds me of sleeping across the rear bench seat of my grandpa's truck on a roadtrip
these older 7.3 are my dream trucks. look and sound is all i care about. god damn no matter the exhaust these 7.3s sound amazing
why was this so satisfying to watch
my smooth ass shifts!(; lol
akajeremy dude I was thinking the same thing now I want a manual 7.3 lol
i can agree that the shifts was smooth af
Ikr
Powerstroke. That's why. Put this on repeat and go to sleep with headphones in.
That turbo makes up for the squealing breaks lol
I recently just got a 95 7.3 Manuel dulley and it's by far the best truck I've owned!
Kyle Matlock you can’t spell worth a shit.
Rumblebee Games/news 😂😂😂
Manuel check ✔️
Man.. truck takes you back to another time. Love it.
I don't know why but this video was so amusing
The best sound on earth can be herd on 1:50 to 2:00
Thanks for the ride !!
1st gear is useless in the obs 7.3’s unless you’re towing, glad I’m not the only that that doesn’t use it haha
Yeah the power output in first gears rivals a modern truck with 800 ftlbs of torque. Almost no need for it unless its pulling something.
@@sidescrollin but how does he start out so smooth in second. What’s the trick with it. (New driver of manual and i happen to be driving a 95 7.3)

Love that sound... Shame trucks like this are rare in the UK, most people in my town drive 1.6/ 2.0 diesels which sound shite

But at least your trees are healthy....BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Germany the same...only fucking 1.6-2.0 airpump diesels here. Hope I can drive an 6-7l truck soon

sounds great, 7.3 powerstroke sound great
Dude I thought this was my buddy haha looks just like him same shift knob an truck sounds just as sick. Only difference he has an engine brake.
You should upload more videos of this truck, Sounds amazing
it sounds just like my dads old times!
the first vehicle i learned standard in.
I had a 97 powerstroke I sold it and bought a 5.9 cummins I miss my powerstroke lol

she was in boost the whole time she done 70mph I think it was around 2700 rpm.
4:11 rear I guess? I have a dually with 4:11's and a 5 spd. does it get annoying?
Toby Williams I have a 95 crew cab long bed Auto with 4.10's and at 70 she does 2300-2400 rpm depending on what accessories are on.
Sounds beautiful bro !
God she sounds pretty 🇺🇸
I cut the exhaust off my 94.5, turbo downpipe only..and with that zf-5 i can do 30mph in 5th gear and all you hear is whistle... beautiful
love those trucks.. nice sound
I just got an 87 6.9 IDI with 90k miles on it. I'm stoked! Why only 260k views? What is wrong with people?

Nice Eddie Bauer trim! Got the same in my 97 5 speed ha ha. I need a straight pipe cause that extra whistle is excellent
THE CARPENTER DAD AND THE UNICORN TRUCK were here.
fuck just two more months and I'll have a perfectttt truck like yours man
i love that sound.
Damn nice fucking truck and with manual can’t ask for nothing else on that beauty
I love this truck.
I might be getting a 97’ F250 5-speed supercab 7.3
Get it?
The most bulletproof truck you can get a 7.3 with a zf trans.
F350 with a Dana 60 completes the combo
Nice truck man, I have the same year 7.3 they're awesome trucks
about to get mine back out of the shop imo theres just not a better truck. Sounds amazing and manuals are just top notch fun...
1:48 is the part you’re looking for
No I am Looking For 1:48
Wish I had a manual... Truck sounds great....

nine9sixSPS the rattle was my damn coffee cup! It bugs me more then any of you know.
Ford is the best car and truck brand out there hands down y’all
Love it man...I have a 96 7.3 5 speed..just put 4 in. exaust on it..love that sound!...cool vid..
Nice truck. No need to leave your hand on the shifter at all times. Some think it can even cause unnecessary wear.

Great vid! Love watching it :)
I want manual diesel truck so bad now😂
Love old obs Ford's
Nice. Wonder what the 'drone' at highway speeds is like...
it's was pretty loud, and in boost the whole time.
Feel sorry for the future generations good luck driving Electric go carts
U ever down shift instead of using the breaks then us them to stop and love the 7.3s very good trucks
Do you have a stack or a exhaust coming out the back or a side exhaust? I’m just wondering because your turbo whistles very nicely.
Roy Ut!! Represent!😂
What kind of gauges did you have? I've been thinking about getting some maxtows but I've seen mixed reviews on them.
dang she sounds good
Buying my first powerstroke 7.3 tmr, so exited but scarred to go poor lol
Famous75 Gaming howd it go?
Ye Olde Spaniard I got it lol
Famous75 Gaming congrats! what year? How many miles?
Hows it going?
Zestooo she’s good did new wheel wells and cab corners and painted it a few weeks ago
Do you take off in 2nd?
Awesome truck can you make a video on how to shift sooo smothly youre a fucking badass at shifting am 17 and well my shifting is ok but yours is top charts man !!!!
Sounds just like my 95 7.3 manual also, I'll upload a video soon
I think it was the Garrett with a wicked wheel compressor.
Why do you have constantly your hand on the lever ?
michaelovitch the lever??
michaelovitch oh, the shifter. Because that's where I like my hand...

How did you mount the camera/phone ?
It sounds like a mix of a 6.0 and a 7.3 with the straight pipe
3:40 damnnnn
You gonna make any more videos with the 95
goated video
beast!
5/7 nice ride
Love the truck! What brand of exhaust did you have on it?
The good ole days when trucks were reliable and easy to fix and fun to drive. Fuck these new electronic pieces of shit. #Fiberglassdeathtraps.
красиво работает
Question. How is the ride on the obs 7.3’s?
Army of One36 from Bill him self-“it’s a rough riding SOB”
I keep a 1/4 yard of dirt in the bed of my 93 f250 regular cab, otherwise the rearend bounces around to much, these ride like old school trucks.
I love a manual 7.3 but i dont know how to drive stick :(
Learn it my man
Buy one and youll have no choice but to learn!
Love it
Why does he always start on 2nd?
+Wyatt willard Dude! Always wear your seatbelt! It's there for a reason plus I hear those old f series pickup's aren't that strong in a head on crash. Nice camera angle by the way!
RUSHY 01 they're overrated and the trucks to slow to kill anyone.
Wyatt willard haha yeah and even though you look like a good driver, there are many barely legal drivers out there so be careful
i t boned a van that ran a stop sign doing 90km/h. front end was fucked no doubt but with no air bags that truck saved my life! crew cab long box and my head went through the driver door window but that’ll happen 😂
these older truck usely have foot brake when park it?
Harshal Mehta I’ve had a truck roll away on me so I use the E-break in everything.
Harshal Mehta yes sir my 1994 7.3L f250 has one I park in 1st gear and the break just be sure to put it in neutral when you start her up
Can never trust the e brakes on these big rigs, my 01 crew cab long box 6 speed, put it in reverse when parked and always point to the curb
I have a similar truck but mine is way slower lol i think it has to do with my many boost leaks and worn out injectors
Nice turbo whine
How’d you get the turbo to be louder?
That truck reminds me of mine sounds like a simi duck mine is a 93 whats thus one ?
Do you take off on second gear?
Yeah, first gear is for pulling and a super low gear.
thanks(:
Amazing truck! What about its MPG? I've read this truck only gives 8 MPG.
Mike Alvarez 17/18 highway and 14 city. Keep in mind this is the 7.3 diesel. The 460 gas engine will only get 8 or 6.
at 70 its just a loud whistle..
looks like this is in the northern utah area
Do you ever use 1st gear? Seems like you start from 2nd after a dead stop.
Johndoe2509 first gears "granny gear" pretty much just meant for heavy loads.
In my opinion, I think diesels are not forgiving when it comes to starting in second
That Copyright Guy on any obs ford you skip first he’s right it’s a granny gear even for the 300 straight six
I meant they are more forgiving when it comes to skipping gears. Autocorrect must have got me
That Copyright Guy ah then I would agree with you
Is it VGT swapped?
Hey just wondering but I’m getting same exact truck next week and I was wondering what all mods you put on the truck and if you know your mpg... I know it won’t be good just wondering
Hunkler 62 just full 4” exhaust and I think I was actually getting like 24mpg and more if I wasn’t driving crazy.
Lmao you ain't getting no got damn 24..... da fuck wrong with you
@@htownsfinest87 my truck gets 26 on the hwy. thats hand calculated and computer calculated.
How was it on the highway? Do you recall what RPM's it'd be at around 70 mph?
My 7.3 will run about 2200-2300 RPM doing 70 mph.
Thank You
Where'd you get the dash from? Looks good especially with the aluminum trim!! I have the doodoo tan interior. It's disgusting..
Frank Lopez it's literally the base model dash!😂
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?! That's a bunch of crap. Mines a 97 F350 XLT, PSD, crew cab, LWB, long bed, and dually and this is the garbage i get? You lucky son of a gun!!
I had no idea the interior had a black option. I'm gonna search for it now!!
Frank Lopez yeah man, base line f250 2wd long bed. Shit didn't even come with cup holders!
Haha! I have the front bench seat with the flip down center console so I guess thats cool. I really want that black interior though! I'm jealous. She sounds good too!
Utah?
Does this have a tuner?
sweet truck man I dont know if I should go for a manual or a automatic
manual 100% I drove couple autos and they shift to soon.
+Wyatt willard cool I am lookig for one and I dont really care whether its auto or manual but it seems very easy to shift that transmission
+Off Road Domination yeah very smooth trans. other then if you don't get into 3rd all the way it will kick you out and scare the shit out of you.
lol
What pipe is it ?
with this video i'm travel !! where do you from ?
do you remember if it had the stock turbo?
