I work in a light duty diesel shop, and specialize in Powerstroke engines. I’d replace the IPR and ICP as soon as possible. Only use Ford sensors, aftermarket tend to not work or go bad fast. Flush the entire cooling system with water with engine running until it runs clear. Then fill it with the purple Heavy Duty coolant from Napa. That 7.3 PSD will last longer than you expect with proper maintenance. Oil every 5k and fuel filters every 10k and it’ll be fine
If you listen to it crank it doesnt sound like it has good compression which isnt helping it start in the least
I’ve used an aftermarket ipr valve. It did not like it.
why didnt he like your comment :-( you know what you are doing.
I doubt that black sludge they called oil was helping anything either. I'd never start an unknown engine that sat for years without pulling the oil plug more than likely water or worse coolant sitting in the bottom of the oil pan.
I agree on the sensors, the HPOP could be getting weak too, tow trucks do tend to sit and idle alot too so god only knows the hours on the engines.
Peak Final Charge is good stuff as is CAT ELC is as well. The 7.3L Powerstroke and the 7.3L IDI are both engines know for cavitation gotta keep your additives up.
I didnt notice any obvious skip while they were cranking the Powerstroke, good chance the Powerstroke has some life left in it.
You can put the heavy duty purple in the OBS 7.3 engine and not fuck the injectors seals???
I love how Vice Grip Garage, Deboss Garage, and Zip Ties and Bias Plies are in the Junkyard Digs Extended Universe.
Word.
Haha....all these need to do a video together and also come up with a some merch that says *ScAvengers assemble!* (play on Marvel's "Avengers assemble")

Definitely that would be epic ! Bois get on this!
"rolled the Bronco" is an understatement. That thing looks like a half-eaten strawberry shortcake.
Without seeing it I can understand from this comment exactly how bad it must be. I need to see this monster
SinglSrvngFrnd SsF he shows it in then video
Wow, never heard the handling of old SUVs put so succinctly.
obviously he's fine now, but has he ever talked about it?? I'm curious to know how injured he was.
Thats exactly what looks like.
That little box reading the rpms is a factory high idle, you simply push the arrow up button to set it higher when using the PTO. Also, when bleeding brakes, there is a small module if it has ABS that needs to be bled on the drivers frame rail. If you drain the system air gets trapped here and gives you a spongy pedal. When you change the oil, use good quality rotella 15w40 with a motorcraft filter and add one quart of Archoil 9100. Itlle free those injectors right up from sitting. 👍
Rotella is shit oil. Delvac delo or www.Combustionusa.com clean Boost oil is awesome
Nice! I've seen these trucks before, I did an outage at the power plant in the background 2yrs ago and was eyeing them at the time. Good to see they're up and running again 👌

"Can you be quiet with your damn diesel tow truck. I'm trying to start my own damn diesel tow truck" 😆
Ya that made me laugh that was so funny
You. Are. Good
That Powerstroke is such a classic sound. A sound I’ve known since I was 3.
Same. Granddaddy had one for moving his bees around. And to tow the boat.
I lost a little of my hearing due to that. The sirens on the 7.3l ambulance did not help much either.
@@mph5896 I was in my 3rd year of EMS when the Powerstroke first came out. My god you'd think we'd been handed the keys to a Ferrari... and compared to all the old tired type 1 IDIs we had, that's what it felt like! I hand-timed our first one 0-60 in about 15 secs flat which was amazing back then.
I also moonlighted for a private service that had type 2s & damn those things were rocketships! Bury the speedo up to the governor & keep it there, no sweat. Fun times...and admittedly did some way stupid stuff.
They sound good
alex- when he said he wished it was a gasser 460 m(horrible motor, sorry) and then that diesel smoked some off the ether I was like "yeah buddy, that is why we love them" ; )
The little yellow lever on the bottom of the fuel bowl is a drain valve...
Yeah, he Googled everything but the fuel bowl. Had he of done so, he would have seen how much quicker and easier that would have been.
Glad someone said it before I did! I owned two of these 7.3 powerstrokes and know them like the back of my hand! Simple trucks to learn and wrench on!
Never touch it if it hasnt been touched. Learned the hard way you dont need to drain the bowl because 1. They always leak after, 2. They get stuck lol
You’ve come a long way dude. You, Dylan, and Derek are my entertainment. Plus Luke’s videos and Mook’s are awesome too. You guys are fun and I learn a lot watching all of you. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment!
Pro tip: put wood under the stinger and put it down all the way to lift the rear of the truck
That would work if the line didn't break.
dragnridr05 is the ‘in/out’ on the same lines as the ‘up/down’ on that stinger? He was on the retract cycle when the line failed. 🤷🏻♂️ I believe they are separate.
Exactly...
This.
This what
Peg curses like a sailor but he's right on. Nice guy
@Buell_BR9 McGhee well shit I curse all the time, its a sign of genius.
Grab a good dumptima batree. And 3 cans of consent. Put 12 volts to injector pump. And jump the solenoid. And giver . When it takes off . Just as I suspected carbon on the valves. Proceed to the ketchup. Right past the mayo and mustard. Sender all the way into the danger zone! As the words of a wise man.
He speaks fluent army
@@wreckerjonny6144 Little redline for a good time
What did you spray in it
Biggest things about diesels taking a while to start is because of air in the fuel. Check all seals from the filter to the pump aren't sucking air. The pump itself is made up of many O rings that will have dried up sitting for 5 years without fuel to lubricate it. At this rate you should replace the fuel pump or try replace the easily accessible O rings
I have a 02 mack Vision oil pump went out replaced it now I'm not getting oil pressure truck runs fine I did order a oil pressure sensor hasn't got here yet. Any idea what it could be sir? Thanks for your help much appreciated
And not only that, those O-rings were designed prior to ULSD, which wears them out, so eventually they all should be replaced. And THAT'S when you'll really have to deal with purging the air to get it started. Worn injectors also cause hard starts, especially after sitting and high mileage. The injector has a clearance of .004" which high pressure oil needs to flow through in order for it to fire, and that clearance gets smaller with wear, usually caused by extended miles btw oil changes.
First gear is only for towing houses - start in second.
😆 love it.
Lol like my truck
I've got a 1 Ton, Dually, Flatbed, Chevy C30 With a Straight piped, Cammed 350! It's a Manual 4 speed with Granddaddy low... I love driving it!
@@goodrichfarms8795 i have a 3/4 ton Chevy with a 4500 drivetrain and suspension cammed 350 heavy-duty 5 speed nv4500 14 bolt 4.10 gears. House's get moved occasionally by it...it also tow's the gas station along with it at the moment. 😆....and i have an f150 with a F450 frame and drive train...7.3 idi NA. It pulls anything...and gets 20mpg while not towing. I am set on tow rigs...i just want a fast car now. Lol
Where is the part 2
There's a valve on the side to empty the fuel bowl!
Extended crank like that at the end could be a cam sensor flaking out (heard it hiccup a couple times running too), worn injectors, lift pump dying, or even a tired HPOP.
If you can get a computer on it, monitor your ICP pressure while cranking- if it isn't going above 500 until it lights then you are fighting building pressure.
Damn solid engines if you know what their weak spots are.
Most of those OBS ford ignition tumblers are so wore out they can be started with a house key..
I know mine can! But my front tank is INOP, so I switch to the front tank as an anti-theft...assuming the crook is too dumb to switch tanks, which is likely for anyone stealing an OBS in 2020.
@@bcubed72 that is exactly what I do! My front tank also doesn't work!
I have an 84 Oldsmobile. Haven’t needed the key in years.
@@bcubed72 i used aluminum blank with marker die and put pressure on it and wiggled the key til it marked the die. then filed them out and i could make the key in about 5 minutes, just need a set of small files like used in any small scale machining.
A bunch of Jeep cherokees can do that I can take the key out of mine while driving
Someone else probably already said this but "F-Super Duty" was what Ford called basically the F-450/550 before there was such a thing.

@@DeaFBRED no... the truck was not on a jack at this point. It's on the ground.
I've done revivals on both power stroke and idi. Never really much to it. Biggest thing with these is undoing all of the hackwork other people have done in the past, and because these things are so robust people tend to neglect maintenance on them. My personal 95 7.3 f350 cclb 4x4 has about 10 grand worth of engine work done to it, king ranch interior, sound system and a dually swap. It is a absolute hoss. 310,000 miles and still puts in work. Best truck I ever had.
On the side of the fuel filter housing is a yellow lever that drains the fuel bowl
Now you tell him. LOL
Better off not touching it. Usually start leaking since they rarely get used
Thank you, I felt bad that he was using rags the whole time
@Jeffrey Bamford Yes, they drain from the bottom, just like all diesels....water first, then fuel. In the marine industry we just call them water separators, because the bowl is clear plastic and you can totally see where the water is sitting....or any damn street Cummins for that matter.
Dats called ‘sperience’.
"I wish this was a 460 gas"
Puts fresh fuel, new batteries and a starter solenoid in it and has a good running Powerstroke, which is superior in every way to the gasser.
Some people....
Seriously. I wouldn’t take a 460 for free. That powerstroke gets literally double the mileage, more power and will run a half million miles. The 460 might go high miles but you couldn’t afford the gas to find out.
1995 powerstrokes are tough. gas engines don't compare.
@@jessepitt no doubt. I have some gassers i love, but the 460 is an overfed dog.
@@jessepitt my 02 7.3 had 1.1 million on original engine and trans when i sold it 7 months ago
@@jessepitt you do realize a gas engine that gets 12 mpg cost about the same in fuel as a diesel that gets 18. diesel is about 50 cents more a gallon. i know my ctd is no cheaper than my old 6.0 chevy.

It is unnecessary to “cycle” the glow plugs. They do not go off when the wait to start light goes off. Watch your battery level gauge. When the needle moves up then your glow plugs have turned off.
Just remember he's still learing
Would you mind including the cost of some of these projects. Like for example what did you give for the tow trucks.
I say mabe couple grand a peace mabe $4000 for the pair!!!!
It's none of our business but it sure would be interesting to know.😁
How much the parts and stuff for the projects would be cool and nice to know how ever the cost of the trucks themselves is his business only.
And now a good name for the tow truck. The “Dumpster Fire”
Called my truck “The Barge” cause it handled like a boat.
I have yet to name mine it's a 01 chevy 3500hd truck (the ones with 10 lug wheels and 19.5's) some guy previously rammed a 12v cummins into it and did a poor job of it its got a twin line twin cylinder jerr dan box on it.
I have a 1995 f150 your name is the cofee
Nah, call it the “ *Extinguished* Dumpster Fire.”
I’ve taken to calling my 95 Cummins dually Bertha
the bronco has nothing left to give yet it just keeps giving
WOW!!! That exact truck towed my truck back to Boone a long time ago!!! Cool
18:22 Whoever thought of putting smokestacks on it is a freaking genius 🤣👌
I love the shout out to Peg, always need the Cosby sauce!!
Man. I just realized I need a 7.3 manual in my life.
Great engine
U really do I have one
95 550 picker truck, 7.3 manual was the most fun truck i have driven, 2nd place is a 92 idi manual, crew cab long box. Both super mint.
Same here, go watch poeboys
Used to drive a flatbed dumptruck 7.3 and it was pretty great, low was always good for loaded hill starts
Let’s go !!!!!
Way to go guys stepping out of your comfort zone and finding a way to get her done.
Good ole Cosby in a can 😂 didn’t expect him to do that method 😂 love the good ole zip ties and bias plies ❤️
I love the diesel, dual stacks, pure functionality and profile of the bed. This truck is badass!!!
Kinda looks like the diesels are easier to get running if you have clean fuel system. Hmmmmmm. 👍
It’s because they run on dirtier fuel.
they need clean fuel air and batteries and they'll run none of that spark plug electrical voo doo bullshit to dig into that is almost always screwed up somehow
They are. Those 7.3 will run forever too.
@@WTFIsThisGuyDoing233love your username lol
enjoyed the video, although you weren't very familiar with diesel engines your mechanical aptitude definitely got you through it
That red truck is literally the definition of my dream truck
me too!
What sad is it ran but was parked the 7.3 was a tank of a motor
Because the red truck is a dually and it only says “super duty series”, the truck is most likely an f450 or an f550
It's a F450 10 lug of the 90s
Daniel Preston it’s an f350 I know my fords not to be rude
He's right those are 10 lug trucks while the f350 have 8 lugs
I'm talking about the red one the black it a 350
Patrick Saur you're not rude at all, but it is a 10 lug compared to an 8 lug, has more leaves than the black truck, and like I said, it is not marked as a 350, while the other one is marked as a 350. Which makes it either a 450 or 550

So cool to watch young people doing this keep it up! Someone sponsored these people they need impacts. Keep watching thanks
Starter fluid on them wasp
As soon as I heard 7.3 IDI I knew I'd be in for a mint time
7.3 are a workhorse, my oldest has over 360,000 on his 2003.Many of those miles are road trips to NE IOWA and the Mayo clinic in Minnesota.
Over 450,000 on my 01.
I bought a few trucks with high miles and they run pretty much perfect still. A 99 f250 that has 343k and a 03 lb7 duramax of all things with 358k and I even have a 6.5 idi turbo diesel truck with 296k.
@@nou8257 I purchased my 01 new in 01. I Had a friend [he passed away last December.] that purchased a used 99 in 2000 with the V10, it had over 600,000 miles on two years ago.

Is that just me?
Love the videos, keep the wrenches turning!
In regards to your question, It has a lift pump in the valley that pulls diesel from the tank, its fwd towards front of engine/under the turbo. Injectors are fired from a HPOP. Your start issue could be just air in the lines still, or bad fuel still in the lines, would need to be driven to clear it all out, or the unfortunate part the hpop is bad you'd need to see your hpop psi while cranking, or your IPR % while cranking, being its low miled it probably isn't the hpop but anything possible, sometimes just changing the oil really smooths the start process out. I have owned tons of 7.3s and none have started that long under normal circumstances.
Icp to ipr correlation numbers will tell alot. I bet it's just air in the fuel system and will just have to purge.
27:59 Mook.. THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! that's perfect..
He didn't do the neutral wiggle that's why I didn't start
I forget every noun and then and I end up starting in gear a lot ._.
The extended crank is not normal. It either has a high pressure oil leak, or the fuel bowl is leaking down.
Can it be glow plug heat solenoid
I'd say weak glow plugs
On that truck. It would be more likely to be a bad or sticking IPR on the back of the fuel pump housing. If there were a high pressure oil leak to prevent the engine from running/starting, it would be immediately obvious (as it supplies a couple thousand PSI to the injectors).
The high pressure oil reservoir could be leaking back to the pan via its check valve stuck.
I would check that seal you put on top of the filter housing. I needs to go around the lid on the lip at the top of the threads.
This is what happens when you watch Ol' Peg Leg on the daily
As soon as you said the black one has no keys...i hear ol peg leg say in the back of my head saying "you don't have to worry about no keys" lol just need a leatherman
love the diesel revivals, and the Fsuperduty is basically the F450 of that day, it was only available in a manual transmission too so that is why its a manual in a tow truck. 1994 was when the Powerstroke came out. nice score on 2 7.3 diesels though, great video, junk vehicles are the best to look at by far
Actually, the F-SuperDuty, even it was released in 1994.5 with the Powerstroke, it was available with an E40D automatic.
My parents have one that is a tow truck, is a 94.5, and with an automatic.
@@tonycartland8757 oh okay, i always thought the F-superduty only got the ZF5. ive never seen on with an E4OD before though either. yeah 94 was a crossover year, i would prefer a turbo IDI myself for simplicity and cheaper parts though
This is awesome. Love the sound of a 90's diesel engine. :)
I Love, how he has hydraulics in this truck and messes with floor jack to lift it up :)
31:54 Coulda Died, jack Coulda failed and Then Head Crushed in Between Tire and Body of Vehicle.
Yup and probably onboard air just open one of the boxes find the fitting
I could use my 87 Thunderbird keys to move my friends 94 escort. He use to get so pissed. The door was tricky had to wiggle it alot but the ignition never fought
lol!
Being a former police officer now attorney in Iowa the reason why you have dot numbers on the truck is because the person who had it before you had a towing company "for hire" and it was a commercial so that's a department of transportation number. Now if you plan on having a " for hire " company also with this truck you will need to apply for a DOT number also. If this is for private use then no, you will not need the number! Even if you owned Tractor Trailers you will only need air brakes endorsements for your drivers license no commercial drivers license. Only for private use
You should get ahold of wes from watch wes work. He knows those ford diesels like the back of his hand. He could give you some good info.
Agreed !
Lil tip don’t use starting fluid in a diesel it will eventually become addicted and need it to start and possibly crack a piston
I think he did a few videos taking apart the high pressure oil system used to actuate the injectors. I think those could help.
Steven Allison I believe Wes is in the middle of a F450 diesel ambulance right now. I think he’s in northwestern Illinois

He should probably get tires and brakes sorted too.
@@dustintunis9347 I'd say it's gonna need a lot of love tow trucks get the shit beat out of them
@@dustintunis9347 Yeah, right now, it's basically an F250 with a heavy bed on the back, due to it having only four tires.
@daniel bean - No need to get snippy. It may have been a bit of an overgeneralization, but with only 2 rear tires they would most likely be overloaded, which is bad enough with know GOOD tires (obviously these aren't). Also SRW 1 ton trucks have a lower rear axle weight rating than duallies.
@daniel bean sweetie please learn to keep that mouth shut before it gets you in some trouble one day.
But to reply to your childish temper tantrum I own a 01 GMC 3500hd the old body style with a Cummins it's a factory wrecker I also own a 08 f350 srw with a 6.4 a 97 ram 3500 hd cummins and several others so yes I have seen the underside of a 3/4 ton vs a 1 ton.
Anyone else notice how Mook and Digs are like April and Andy from Parks and Recreation?
So on the hard starting I'm sure you are getting air in the fuel somewhere and the extended cranking is the mechanical fuel pump trying to expel said air... I'm sure some will argue but a 95 powerstroke had a mechanical fuel pump right behind the filter bowl, I think they went electric in 1998 or 99. Also the powerstroke having the oil operated injectors is very sensitive to the cleanliness of the oil and filter so a service may make it easier to start and if it ever gets more than a gallon low of oil it will not run because the high pressure pump wont build enough pressure to fire the injectors. Also when you replace the glow plugs be warned they are under the valve covers and the wires for the injectors and glow plugs all feed through the gasket surface so make sure you get the gaskets that include the harnesses and pigtails to save yourself some trouble and replace all the glow plugs at the same time with motorcraft ONLY if you cheap out and use autolites the next time you'll be pulling the heads to change them, ask me how I know.
We've put a bunch of Dieselrx plugs in the powerstrokes they seem to be a good brand. Seems like as long as it's quality aftermarket parts they work good.
When it fired up I said hell yea loud enough my dog actually opened her eyes.
Those 7.3s are such great engines.

MOOK IS A FUCKING METALHEAD, CROWN THE EMPIRE ALL THE WAYYYY
The super duty is what a F450. Was called when they came out in 1988. I bought one new.
Man they are some tough old sob's too
They are great trucks and kind of hard to find these days. I have a 97 w/ a 460. The worst part on this truck is the parking brake. they use a ZF unit that is mounts to the transmission. They are a pain to rebuild and have to be completely removed and disassembled to do the simplest fix. If you break a 5 dollar spring, it could cost you 600 to 1000 bucks to get it fixed and most states require parking brake to pass inspection. If you do run into this problem, and as long as they have been sitting I'm sure you will, there is an outfit in Texas that sells complete modernized units at half the cost of OEM ....If you can still find one from Ford. Good luck Diggs
Affirmative! The oil pressure drives the injectors, you have some work to do on that. Good luck! I'm glad you got it running. Let me know if you need a class on how to use that truck, I've been a tow truck driver for 26 years! 😁👍
I drove a toe truck to
I grew up around rollbacks and wreckers via my dad till the requirements to do it got too much hassle to keep up with
Nothing like quality Cosby consent in a can to awaken a mammoth of a Ford
the fuel pump is mechanical and is in the valley which rides on the cam. It doesn't work off of engine oil
Best treasure find ever for mechanics, is old tow trucks for use on future projects 👍

I have two of them and would own them all if I could 😝 they’re awesome trucks
Great revival! Fun watch again!! I recommend with any turbo to let it idle for at least a couple minutes after driving to cool down the turbo before shutting it off. Will make it last longer and not burn out the bearings in the turbo.
I think you should keep the red one, fix it up, & use it for the shop.
Ok, have to ask who Un-subbed and Re-subbed for more wasp fights? TE HE! Great video, I have a 1990 Dodge W250 with a 5.9 L 360 and i was inspired the other day when I pulled up out of the woods poured some Gas down the throttle body and put some power to the leads and to my surprise the thing lit right off, now I am really to get the pump back into the fuel assembly, put the tank back under it and see if i can get that truck that was my best buds before he died 2 years ago to run again or at least idle., BTW it's a 5 speed with four wheel drive and also it's a 3/4 ton!

What’s the update? My daily is an 89 W250 with the 360 TBI and a 3 speed auto. Interesting to see if you broke off a nipple on the fuel pump module or had any other problems
Before watching the video I was like oh it's a diesel, all it will need is good fuel and a battery and it will go no problem.
That has not been my experience with diesels. If you let them sit a long time the injectors have to be cleaned. I am sure he will have to do that here.
Yes you're right. It cranks till it gets out pressure because the fuel system uses a HPOP, high pressure oil pump, to feed it the pressure necessary to get to fuel flowing, low oil pressure=low fuel pressure
You would be right, but that isn’t a power stroke. It’s a mechanical IDI diesel
@@danfrederick3172 nope it's a powerstroke
I'm late to the party here, but you got a steal of a deal. Those trucks are both gems in the towing world. Both are equipped with Challenger 4800 wrecker bodies, which are predecessors to the modern day JerrDan bodies. As far as I know, both iterations of the 7.3, the stroker and IDI, are what's known as HEUI engines, (High Energy Unit Injection) and both rely on good oil pressure, supplied by the HPOP(High Pressure Oil Pump) to "fire" the injectors. If the HPOP was bad in either of them, neither would run. Diesels can be intimidating at first, but truthfully, aren't that complicated, and very reliable over the conventional 460 of the same era.
Additionally, you have what's called tunnel boxes ahead of the tow bodies themselves. Great for all kinds of storage of chains, wood blocking, and other misc "tools of the trade" when it comes to towing.
And yes, F-Super Duty was the predecessor to the F450/550 line of trucks. The name change occured when the "roundbody" (99-07) trucks came onto the scene, and the 450/550 badge was adopted for the medium duty chassis by Ford.
And one more tip from a upstate NY Rustbelt wrencher: Brake Clean is your best friend when taking care of any kind of asshole bees. 10x better than any off the shelf bee killer. Can play target practice with the little spray tube atrax8 to the can. They're dead before they hit the ground.
OBS Ford keys are 1 step away from just being blanks. I have a 92 F-150 and my key literally has like 1 groove and that's it.
that brings back memories. i miss making things run again. damn wheelchair lol
Good ole Bill Cosby in a can.
