It's always good watching your videos your positivity your cool calm and just your desire and love for your truck all qualities that I can relate to so let's continue to make the 7-3 Community grow and to those out there watching the videos don't forget to hit thumbs up and help make this channel and 7 . 3 Community grow thanks again Joe
Much appreciation man!
Appreciate the info on the up pipe donut gasket failure, and what to look for . I will have to check mine out more thoroughly , and also the fuel system and sensors as well. Thank you for the video.
My stock Ford up pipes fell apart at 109,000 miles they were leaking bad. I replaced them with the international ballast up pipes. I spent the extra hundred and got the ceramic coated up pipes. They are a major improvement. For future episode I suggest you look at that big monstrosity of a cast aluminum ducting but most of us call a Plenum but ford does not. Due to a shop here and put in the wrong clamps on the turbo and Plenum my plan fractured. I installed the AFe system it's a huge improvement. I enjoy your channel and how do you explain the different jobs. Keep it up
Dang man! I might be lucky but my stock up pipes don't even have a hint of any leaks yet at 122k. Whenever I end up doing the trans is when i will replace the up pipes. Should make the job MUCH easier. Are you saying you cracked your spider or he plenums on the heads? I have never heard of anyone cracking the spider. I do plan on replacing it at some point with a 2 piece system. Thanks for following along!
Great informative video! When I bought my 6.0L truck, I had never had a diesel but I needed one to pull my 30’ Travel Trailer. I watched every video I could about the 7.3s & 6.0s (Powerstrokehelp, Bill Hewitt for the 6.0s). I would have loved to get a 7.3 but they were like a unicorn in my area.
I did buy a ‘05 6.0 (studded & deleted) which I love! And have done some upgrades & a few repairs in the past year.
The “Blue Spring” upgrade was the best so far for power & mpg. Archoil (oil & fuel) additive was the easiest. That fixed my stiction in #8 injector problem.
The 7.3s & 6.0s are great trucks, sites like yours are a great resource for people who are looking to buy or have these trucks. Thanks for all you do making your videos!
I appreciate the support. There is definitely a lot to learn when buying any new diesel. It is getting harder and harder to find 7.3's for a reasonable price. When I found the deal on mine I jumped on it less than 24 hours after it went up and had multiple people in line behind me.
Amazing testimony on your MPG readings after cleaning your EBP. I rebuilt my 2002 7.3 all by my lonesome and it set in my drive for over a year before i took it on a 600 mile trip. I was amazed at my readings as I had never seen such readings prior to my modifications. I did a EBP delete in my rebuild and never thought much about it. Even so When I ended my trip , My reading was 19.2! That's Gospel! Shows' to go U a little TLC goes a long way and pays off in the long run! Nothing ventured, nothing gained! O by the way, I am in my 70s and still I have a hankering to improve my skills! Keep on truckin'.
Hey man, I really appreciate these videos as a new 7.3l owner. Mines also a 2000 and it has over 240k, so all of this info is helping me out a lot. Keep up the good work man!
I am glad it is useful!. Congrats on joining the 7.3 world.
Thanks bought mine new in 03 wouldn’t sell it,Reason not paying 70 thousand $ for new truck!
Few dollars here n there think It will last staying on top of it is the key ! Never any problem in 17 years till yesterday dumped trans fluid @ 200.000 miles instead of changing seal gonna just put nw trans in her n a few things with it. Thanks enjoy your videos. Cool
@Tommy Ealey all original on the motor?
Great videos man. I am completely blind and have been a mechanic for a few years now. Just got me a 2000 f250 7.3 single cab 4x4 with 315k. She’s ugly but I have big plans. Keep on doing what you do 👍
I appreciate the support!
Good job bro! You keep doing vids that I keep wanting to do about haha, thanks for the motivation
haha well it never hurts to have a couple good vids on the same topic. I feel like we will continue to have a lot of overlap on these truck builds haha.
Living On Wheels yes sir we will have best 7.3s on the tube. I want to clean my exhaust back pressure sensor and tube also, gonna strip foil from pipe, maybe wrap it Donno, uppipe leaking bit. Want to fully strip tip area and clean all the junk in valley and do 5” exhaust soon, so many plans lol
@@FixItNick FixItNick No matter how many items you cross off the list there always seems to be more projects hahaha. Cleaning out the back pressure tube definitely seems to have made a big difference on highway mileage. I have spent a good amount of time cleaning the valley when I was installing different parts and I am very happy that I did. Makes a big difference when trying to track down problems and is just plain and simple nice to work on when it's clean.
You're gonna make me super jealous with the 5" exhaust haha. I had one on my old 7.3 and it sounded mean!
Always enjoy seeing the progress on your truck!
Living On Wheels I had the exhaust laying around for about 2 months now, other stuff keeps popping up, now I finished stock VS intake MPG testing (gotta edit) I love the result the 6637 is getting, I’m doing another quick test by actually not carrying about MPGs and driving normal and still get better MPG than with stock intake driving like A Grama lol. Hoping to post video tomorrow if time permits. Since you keep beating me in other mods I gotta up you with exhaust haha
@@FixItNick I know the feeling. I got a backlog of projects that I just haven't had the opportunity to install. Major pain in the butt not fully being able to crawl around and under the truck to do different mods and stuff. Makes for more logistics on timing the bigger jobs When I can get help. Not to mention it's my only rig right now so I can't have it down long haha. Hoping to pick up another truck sometime this year to allow bigger more extensive projects to take place!
Very interested to see your results from the 6637! Obviously, I have one but I never checked the mpg difference with it. And get that dang exhaust on!!! hahaha gotta let the bald eagles fly!
Joe thanks for your vids.
You do a really good job dumbing things done and explaining why
Thank you. I appreciate that.
Wow man you're getting around 19 mpg that's awesome.... the 7.3 I have has some issues that need to be addressed still but even so I can routinely see somewhere around 15-17 mpg weather I'm driving around town/city or on the expressway doesn't really matter which is cool. Maybe after fixing some things and modifying some things 18+ mpg can be achieved.
Trust me mn it surprised me too! We will see if I can keep it up in the high teens!
Thank you. Just noticed soot around lower pipes when changing the oil. Looks like an exhaust leak. I did notice power loss on recent trip towing travel trailer.
nice work and great video I,have one 7.3 2001 power stroke problem yea
loses power from NJ
Learned something new today! Thanks
Oh, it is my pleasure!
Thanks big guy. Another disabled subscriber!
Wow...19.5 mpg.. that’s amazing.. I only get 17..yes 70mph a1950 rpm.. can’t wait to inspect my up pipes
I'll be honest. I have never seen that high of number since that day haha. I usually see around where you are at.
Thanks Joe
Looking forward to more of your videos.
Life has been crazy busy. Hoping to get more interesting videos out soon.
Hi Joe another new subscriber from England. 👍Also a wheelchair user.
Awesome to have you! Thanks for tuning in from a crossed the pond!
@@LivingOnWheels I had an accident at work in 2011. So it's been a while getting used to my new circumstances. Nick from FixItNick told me about you and I'm happy to be with you.
Broke my neck in a high school wrestling match in 2014. Crazy how fast life can change.
Im not surprised you found Nick's channel. His 7.3 build is coming along nicely.
Thanks man, great video. 👍
Thank you
Thanks man
They are a pain. Especially when you have an E99 and the bellows ups cost 400. Your in belt radiator hose
yeah. I might do bellowed pipes when I upgrade the turbo, but we will see. Not too much motivation to do that right now, or money for that matter haha.
Yes i have heard! I have an e99 7.3 too! I will probably get riffraff uppipes!
Just subscribed , from Maple Ridge B.C. I am a small commercial bee keeper and have two trucks, F350 and a F550. Both 2002 with the 7.3, I try to do all my own work on both trucks. I have done brakes , high pressure oil pump, wheel bearing, universals. I have been having a issue with the turbo on the 350 , putting a load on and hitting the pedal , getting a whining noise, back off the pedal and the noise goes away, thought it was the turbo, so in the great wisdom of thought I decided to take the turbo off the 550 and put on the 350, then rebuild the 350 turbo, all of which I learned from your videos, did the swap trucked started up great and now when I put the pedal down the whining is worse , someone suggested the up pipes were leaking exhaust , I checked ,they are, before I take the turbo off again to get at the up pipes do you think this is where the whining is from , also I looked at the 550 with the turbo already of off and yes it looks like it is also leaking , but there was no noise coming from it, took the turbo off this truck as I only use it six months of the year, how hard is it to replace the up pipe gasket ,
Hmmm I don’t think leaking up pipes would cause a whine. Is there a chance it could be from the drivetrain?
Got new up pipes exhaust manifolds they’re at the ceramic coasters intercooler pipes powder coated new push rods 910 valve springs 205/30 injectors kc turbo and a partridge in a pear 🌲
Sounds like a killer setup man!!
Hi joe this is Joseph in Oregon say do you know anything abought archoil if so please comment thanks it's fun to listen to your comments on the 7.3 if you remember I'm the guy that is receiving my father in laws 2003 7.3 as a gift I fly to pick it up in October wish me luck
Hey. I have good things about the Archoil 9100 oil additive. Lots of people speak highly of it.
I noticed that mine was leaking a small amount of oil down the up pipe section, seemed odd. I had just put new injectors in when I noticed it. Any ideas? Great videos!
Oil is very commons and not much to be concerned about except in large quantities. Your crankcase vents from your drivers side valve cover into your intake right before the turbo. This causes oil to accumulate and go through you intercooler piping. This is why the IC boots on these trucks tends to get oily over time. Since you said a small amount of oil yours sounds just fine.
O
My 2001 f350 like oil brake inside cab the masther cylinder
My 1 ton doesn't get that 19 mpg
Would a leaking exhaust from the up pipes cause a whistling sound when pulling my 5th wheel at about 2500 RPM and 15 PSI on the turbo? You mentioned something about the noise going away.
An exhaust leak can cause noise and can sometimes be heard over these engines. Its hard to answer your question for sure though. Best way to spot an exhaust leak on your up pipes is to find the soot.
@@LivingOnWheels you are awesome. I found you today looking for an answer to the noise. I will look at it as soon as I get back to the campsite. I am also a new follower. Thanks again.
Alfredo Sigala I really appreciate it! You can get a pretty good view of it all from underneath looking up each side. Flashlight helps haha
How long can I go without fixing it
As long as you want. Just going to lose power and efficiency. I suppose if it gets bad enough is could have the chance of melting things or starting a fire.
Hi Joe! I am a new subscriber and really enjoy your videos. I have a 95 f350 7.3 dually ambulance which I use to pull a 28 foot travel trailer. I am having high EGTs and am trying to figure out why. I have deleted the CAT and had a free flow muffler installed in the stock exhaust. New NAPA air filter...6636?... My intake manifold had a leak and was fixed. Still high EGTs even when not pulling a load. Any ideas?
I appreciate it! What kind of EGTs are you seeing? Do you have any sort of tuner on the truck? What are you boost numbers looking like?
I back off at 1200. No tuner.
I don't have a boost gauge so no idea there.
hmmmm. I cant say for sure but my instinct would be that you have an exhaust leak or boost leak somewhere and so you're not getting enough air into the engine. 1200 isnt unheard of on a stock engine with stock injectors. What kind of situations are you seeing those temps when you're not towing? Are we talking like a hard full throttle pull or what?
I never drive it hard and bury the pedal. I am seeing those temps on steady moderate hills here in Utah.
I just noticed that exact leak on mine, how can I fix it ??
Unfortunately the only way is to reseal or replace the pipes. 1) replace the seal on the old pipes. 2) replace old pipes with new bellowed up pipes. Most people put bellowed pipes in. Make sure its not a clamp before you get to far though. If its coming down out below that flange though I'd say you're out of luck. Unless it's really bad it's not in dire need of being fixed, but something that should be done at some point.
19mpg . Jeez my f450 with 4.88 gets like 10mpg if I'm lucky .
Haha yeah that is the only time I have ever seen that. 4.88s are brutal though.
