I’m pretty new to your channel and I like your content. I get the impression you really know your PowerStrokes. I’ve a mechanic for years, mostly farm equipment. Older now and I just putter around in my shop. I do have a lift for working on my vehicles. I’ve had two PowerStrokes now. I had a 97 F250 now I have 2000 F350 Lariat. It has just over 121,000 miles on it. I bought it with 75,000 miles on it in October 2010 on EBay from Texas. It has basically zero rust. I’m in New York State but I never drive it in the salt! I have two issues with it though. One is it uses oil. I’d say around a quart of oil in 1500 miles. Yet when I start it on a warm day in the winter there’s absolutely no blue smoke like unburnt fuel. Seems to me to have good power. I have a fifth wheel camper and a dump trailer I made and it pulls them fine. I did the valve cover breather delete. It’s apparently is blow by because it does vent vapor out my hose. But it runs so good and I use it so little I don’t have any plans to do anything at this time. Just wondering if you would know what it might be if it’s not blow by? Thanks
“…it’s not going to be like a tutorial…” yet here I am taking notes! 😂 Old school is cool! Looking forward to seeing that shop wall fill up with various vintage grills. That was some brutal wrenching around that turbo. Thank you Ford Engineers.#$&@%😤🤬
Beautiful truck! That’s the Centurion conversion package.

I’d have to see how much it’s pushing out the oil fill. Are you sure your not leaking any?
That level of quality pickup truck will never be made again.
Nope, the quality of the obs and the 99-03 7.3s is gone

OBS turbo jobs suck for sure lol. At the thermostat housing I always use some gasket maker. Beautiful truck for sure
Great truck! Great video.
