Clint rocks my 8th year painful self-taught diesel owner driver course wish id found Clint 8 years ago keep up the excellent work you have you a good day as well
Clint love your video's and have been a long time supporter of your channel from the beginning when you were below 3K subs. Love how your channel has grown as it should. To help, because I believe you're a great asset to the 7.3 community, almost daily I use links to your channel to answer questions on the 7.3L Powerstroke Nation Group on Facebook. I also make it a point to tell new Powerstroke owners to go watch everyone of your videos. I love my the 7.3 and think you have the best means to inform people on how to maintain it and repair it. I rebuilt my Turbo in June of 22 using almost exactly the same methods and cle ando modified an 8mm deep socket to fit in the Turbo center section bolt holes where you used the wrench. In addition I used a straight edge ruler to ensure all the surfaces were flat and a flat file to just barely knock off any highs or dings on the cast iron mating surfaces. I do laugh at the way you pronounce O-Ring as Ore ing instead of Oh Ring, just thought I'd poke fun at you Cint. Keep up the great work, maybe some day if I'm ever in your area I'll get to sit down and have a coke with ya, laugh and pick your brain on whatever. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya on UA-cam as well.
I want to say a big thank you. My friend you save me of a big trouble with my transmission. I find out the filter fell down and we're sucking air. I solved my problems thank you very much for all the good information you put out there. God bless you
So interesting, video was great, nice there are people like you to help others figure this stuff out, so they can do it themselves! Keep up the great work, and thanks again!😊
I think it's time for a Clint video. I can only speak for myself here, but I think I completely misunderstood your background. I thought you were a tow truck driver and 7.3 PS enthusiast. If you could film a video briefly detailing your background, education, and experience I think your community would appreciate it. Thanks for the excellent content.
Very nice video, very professional work and man why can’t you be my neighbor lol I really am learning so much from your knowledge keep up the good work.
I’m having issues with my new be valve deleted pedestal leaking from block to pedestal it’s not running into the valley it’s leaking over the top of the transmission I’m going to put another set of ford orings would they seal better if I put gray rtv on top and bottom of the orings?
I'm drinking watching this and a diesel in the background getting cramped. I am correct? Please don't tell me I'm losing my mind too. Lol CLINT ALLEN VS HOLYFIELD! You're pretty darn precise my friend. I love watching your vids. Thanks Clint
I Would like to know who's kit? Part numbers for Ford... You don't like certain orings, but you don't tell where to source orings. I Have 489 on my 2000 4x4 dually, auto, crew cab. The body is rusting. I am try to find a rust free Body from south/west. I will go through all that needs updated, fixed. Not interested in $100 POS Maintenance problem. I would love to run down my ideas with you
I have this compressor housing and wheel installed on my truck. I haven't driven it yet. Sounds pretty good. I also have a 1.0 a/r turbine housing to feed it. Also an EBPV delete. Spools up quicker than you'd think. I've been troubleshooting a failed cylinder contribution test for cylinders 1 and 3 at this point. I have bluish white smoke that turns white when you hit the throttle... engine warm or cold.
Failing the cylinder contribution test on cylinders 3 and 8 is a known issue. Mine has failed both of those for the past 100k miles. Cylinder 1 failing isn't good, but cylinder 3 may be a false alarm. I forget the reasoning for why this test fails on so many good engines.
Thanks for the info, do you know if a GTP38R can be rebuilt, I've looked for a replacement cartrage on line and I don't think they available. I have a kc38r center cartridge but it doesn't spool up as quickly. I've tried everything, boost leaks, alignment, taken turbo off and put it back on 3 times. I put the original cartridge back in and it spools up so much quicker and has more boost.
Best thing you can do for the 7.3 is give up on the gtp38 and 38r stock turbo variants and get a T4 up-pipe conversion with a Borg Warner SXE turbo appropriately sized for your injectors. Doing so eliminates a huge bottleneck which is the factory turbo's turbine housing. So many companies just take a China turbo and bore out/resize the compressor and turbine housings and put a bigger wheel in without redesigning the area around the wheels.
I run this exact kit on my truck. It's loud and a little laggy, but my egts are acceptable, and I don't have compressor stall issues like I did with the stock turbo. It wasn't my first choice, but it's done me pretty well for about a year now.
Thank you Clint, I appreciate the video, especially when you talk about the balancing. Where do you have your balancing done. I am looking for a really good reliable balancer.
Econo not fine new engine wiring harness not available $250 F-series engine wiring harness laughable unusable scrap back to Old wiring harness soup mess ended up losing track of some of my wires desperately need a 42 pin schematic so I can get my ECT hooked back up I think it's the last sensor just not wired correctly probably lost track Hotel parking lot OEM refurbished
Looking for your opinion on the EBPV delete, I live in a cold area (-15F or so) in the winter. Is this something I should keep, or is it a point of failure that isn't worth retaining? I'm going to rebuild the turbo, just trying to figure out if I should remove the valve or refurbish it. I'm not really concerned about power, just longevity. Motor is completely stock with the exception of a 3.5" straight pipe exhaust. Anyway, thanks for all the 7.3 Powerstroke videos, they've been extremely helpful. I got a good deal on an abused work truck with 185K on it. Bad ICP, IPR, glow plugs, ball joints and tie-rods. Your videos and advice helped me a lot!
Send that down the road packing Its a source of issues was a cute idea but very unnecessary. Riff Raff makes a delete plug for the sensor plug and a new pedestal with the delete cleans it up The flapper can be cut out or a new banks big mouth is also a great addition
“Hey let’s make a turbo kit. How hard can it be? We already have a cnc machine”. There’s a lot more to it as you’ve shown here. We’d all like to fund our habit by making parts. But some parts are expensive for a reason. Thanks for the video. In case you’re wondering, watching you tighten bolts in real time is my least favorite part.
What is your recommended procedure prep for the first restart of a new/rebuilt turbo? Do you crank the motor with the fuel pump fuse/relay disconnected to get the oil flowing, or ??? Ty
If you used the rebuild lube I show just fire it up if you didn't turn it upside down before install and in the 2 in n out holes fill with and engine break in or zink additive spin for a minute let over night then install and just fire right up
1997 73. State body truck, 5 speed. I have for something, gears and a rear. The warned down the 388 I think. Should I change my Turbo and should I go to a 6 speed? Screaming a high heart. M 2300 RPM at 70 miles an hour In fifth gear. Should I go to a 6 feet and should I change my Turbo and what size Turbo should I change it to? Should I leave it at a 5 speed and change my Turbo?
Rotella is a good oil I use Schaeffer Oil, gear lube,grease Why ? Ive tested multiple diesel oils in the fleet and the best oil tests that show the lowest wear rate is the schaeffer brand
@@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD copy that! Also, love that you recommend specific gauges. Is there a specific wiring harness made by a specific company you recommend.
I'm about to do one for the OBS turbo. I have to have a bigger v band flange welded onto the compressor housing so i can adapt the superduty intake to it. Probably make a video on my channel for it. Interested to hear how yours works. Ill keep an eye out.
I wanted to ask you a question about my 2003 E450 7.3. No codes or lights but it's running crappy off and on. The gauge says it's not running hot but when I hook up Forscan the ECT says it's running up to 500°. Then it instantly drop down to 4° and slowly climbed up to a normal range. This is all after warming it up and driving at less than a half-mile. I shut it off for a few hours came back out and started it up and it said 350°. EOT never went over 170°. I'm going to try swapping out the coolant sensor in the transmission next. Do you think this sounds like a sensor problem, PCM or something else?
Hi Clint I rebuilt my turbo following your video. Once installed I cranked and cranked and no start. The exhaust manifold filled up completely with oil. What went wrong please. Thanks Ted
I have never seen that ever so I need to clarify the turbo impeller on the air side would end up burning of oil in the combustion and the exhaust side would end up in the exhaust down pipe and you dumped all the oil in the amzn.to/3Jjz3nC
Hi Clint, i have a problem on my 97 7.3 obs, so hope i can get some guidance. I bought the truck it was running good no problems, had no codes but the previous owner told me that he had not yet changed injectors it is now on 375000mi and so i did replace injectors. I have also replaced the following due to no start: Ipr Icp Mechanical fuel pump Eot on back of Hpop Got the truck started, it is rough sounds like the engine wants to get out underneath the hood, injectors have a clatter sound when idle but it is loud, when i unplug the eot sensor the idling evens out and the truck sounds like it should. I get the following codes P1280 P0470 P1211 I have swapped in a new IDM and still the same I am new to the powerstroke world and do not know where to go from here, would love to hear what you have to say about the fix there is for this Kind regards Abri
Clint what do you think about the ebpv delete. I bought an aftermarket ebpv delete pedestal and exhaust flange and do not like the machine quality. I'm thinking about rebuilding my OEM pedestal.
What is the average life of a turbo before needing rebuilt? Usual duty not hot dogging or bs. Just driving & working the truck. What are the Torque values? I heard 17 ftlbs then it went silent?
std turbo 300k ish , to deter-man just pull the air tube off and see if the impeller is loose back and forth and up and down if it moves around it in need of a rebuild and specs where right in the beginning of video it scrolls from bottom to top just pause it
Custom Works great detailed video. Obviously you are skilled and knowledgeable in your craft. Some of your viewers might not be gearheadz. That being said, your torque wrench methods may be better understood and acceptable if you noted the criticality of proper torque spec applications. Noticed you would set your torque wrench, utilize the wrench until you hear the click, and then give it another 90°+|-. This obviously would not be a correct torque.😂
I have a early 99. I notice with the adds for the Garrett They say 99.5 and up. Will the 38 fit on to my 7.3 as well. I know ford made some changes Hence E99-L99. The 7.3 engine still the same ???

Thanks for the videos
Thanks!
Welcome! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much 👍👍👍😎
Excellent tutorial. I learn so much watching your channel. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
So looks like several points here, One verify balance on inner fin assembly, and verify clearances once final assembly done.
Garrett make all the ford turbo exuast turbins
Marking the turbo is a good habit to have when tearing them down
I was told the boost turbine with thread in the turbine the force of spinning will properly tighten the turbine
Definitely my go to guy for my 7.3. Thanks for all you knowledge and hard work.

Hey Clint. I been very happy with KC TURBO 300X they have different stages. Very nice people. I have no influence on them. Just my experience.

Those torque values are merely a suggestion.
I never heard the click after the first bolt. Think he over torqued the first bolt and messed up the wrench.

I notice with the adds for the Garrett
They say 99.5 and up.
