1996 Ford F-250 7.3 Died while driving. Found it was pulling air through the fuel lines so I hooked up a home made fuel tank and let the bald eagles scream.
Thank you for the tip about hooking air up and blowing the fuel lines. After we did this she started up. Apparently after running out of fuel it clogged the line 🎉🙏🥰
I have a problem with my 2000 7.3 it runs and will shut off and start back up and than it will shut off after so many turns and I will have to let it sit for like 20 minutes and it will start back up and drive , what you thinking?
Cam position sensor may give warning...or not! Ya, check fuel filter (drain reservoir first for water). If filter appears clean, upon inspection...probably lift pump OR SCREEN AT FILTER HOUSING
"...faster than your parents can tell you they're disappointed in ya?" (4:23). How would you know how fast that is?? Your parents have never been disappointed in you! Nice video! ~Your Father.
Replace your glow plug relay I bet you it start right up!!! Thay burn out in about a year but still kinda work above 60 degrees there's too much of a load on the glow plug relay with 8 glow plugs on one relay you will notice on the later models there's 2 glow plug relays I put a dule relay on mine it can be zero outside an my obs 7.3 will fire with not plugging in the engine heater!!! If you like to test it out on a cold start jump out the two big lugs on your glow plug relay with a screwdriver 🪛 for 15-20 seconds an than fire it up it will fire 🔥
My 7.3 ran great until my brother helped me put track tech hpop lines on, died randomly while I was in the hood(bad spot to be for a whiteboy lol luckily mf’s know me for doing good things for people) but changed my ipr, cps, and oil temp sensor, drove amazing for 5 mins then left me stranded again, psi won’t read past 98 on my gauges on the tuner, you need 500, I’m stumped first time 7.3 owner.. I’m used to old diesel tractors that have p pumps that you top off on oil and just go. These hpop systems are irritating, if anyone can help me please comment or message me somehow.. thanks

Your are the man. I had the same issue and just fixed it thanks to your video. Thanks
What exactly did u fix? Just added aux tank instead of regular fuel tank?
Very smart red neck, thanks for the video my friend, I’m walking out the house right now and try that on my truck
Dude this is an awesome video
Just pull the bowl out, bypass the old fuel pump, then add a new electric fuel pump down by the fuel selector, & you should be good.
thank you ! I appreciate your trouble shooting,

my filter looks black and dirty and reservoir looks clean, ?
Thank you very much!....
Great video
my 94 e350 quit me in a Walmart parking lot, this saved me and got me home without having to get it towed. was a pain in the ass though.
There is a spring under the filter that doesn’t let fuel come without a filter in

How did you relocate the fuel pressure valve? They are impossible to test on in stock position.
Its 1/8" npt. I just added an elbow
Grasias!! My 94 f250 won't start I'm going to try startup spray
Seems like I have the same issue with the same truck gonna just do a aux tank for now need her running.
I was just looking for a fuel fix on my own 7.3 but found this so I had to finish to see how hillbilly it would get.
Your redneck capabilities are amazing. Hat's off to you, Sir!
Going thru the ame issues on my '95 F250. Going to try that compressor to the fuel line after I do the test with the filter out.
When you crank it does that attempt to fire the injectors or just crank the starter??
I had the key off so that it would not fire the injectors. If you jump the solenoid with the key on, it will start. Assuming it has fuel lol
Was the ticking when you cranked it after you hooked up your lines bc there’s air in the injectors?
Yes, diesel injectors click louder with less fuel because it's pushing air through instead of fuel
Did you just spray EITHER into a GLOWPLUG ENGINE?????
Yes every single glow plug is shot
It’s been done since 1988 over 10 million times
Why not just cut a hole in the bed to get at the fuel sender so you can get a look inside the tank?
Replace your glow plug relay I bet you it start right up!!!

Never use the spray juice lol
Nice bag of tricks. How many miles you have on that dog.
410k
Just getting broken in haha
Yeah Buddy, one way or another it’s going to keep moving forward.
Love it
Same problem with my 96 350, i switch back tank , problem resolve, i think the front tank lines its too dirty,
It's gonna go. We'll just throw ether at her until she does.
Don't forget about the fuel pump that's under the turbo that pulls fuel from the tanks
Where is that pump that you are talking about?
@@linuelmontana5493 thats the mechanical fuel pump on the OBS 7.3's.
I’d drop that one and only tank and clean the fuel screen!! A lot of extra work when you could have gotten another tank!
That is sure one neglected ratty truck
That’s a good idea
4 years later is this truck still alive? Lol
Yes I just took it on a 2000 mile road trip

What a hack job when you could’ve just fixed it right
