    I just bought my first diesel to pull my new to me 5th wheel camper. I ended up getting an early 99 7.3L. So far, I have an intake, 4" turbo back exhaust that duals out under the back of the cab. I just got done installing all my gauges. I ended up rebuilding my tranny a couple months ago. I did it myself and installed a tugger kit while i was at it and a dual clutch disk converter. The truck has 275,000 miles on it and idles at temperature with 48 pounds of oil pressure. I also put on a flat bed with a nice tool box and a 150 gallon auxiliary fuel tank. It has 35" tires and gets about 16mpg. A tuner will be my next purchase. I figured id set it up to take advantage of the tuner before I got it. The intake and exhaust did make a difference. I have about $4k tied up into the whole thing, including the price of the truck.

      This sounds like a nice rig and would benefit largely with a tune! Nice build.

      Thanks, and yes, it would benefit from a tune. It runs really well now, I can't wait to see how it runs with another 100hp and 200 lbft. My next 2 mods will be the Hydra and a turbo master waste gate controller. I'm actually putting my own boost fooler together with a 1/4" pressure regulator.
      I'm also really thinking about running heated fuel lines and maybe a heat pad on the fuel tank. I live in se Idaho so it's cold here a lot! Last January, we saw -37 and it can get much colder than that.

      A congratulations on your purchase of a 73 mine has 336,000 original injectors and a few upgrades I read that you were talking about making your own boost fooler here's an idea for you check this link out this is what I did very simple and the hose that goes on the other end of this thing all you have to do is heat it up and it goes right onto the nipple on your map sensor and the other and 1/8 NPT pipe thread ONTO THE INTAKE SPIDER check it out you will understand

    The 7.3 power stroke is more than driving or towing from here to there, its about creating something unique to yourself and powerful. The cost/benefit is there. Even an expensive buy can be upgraded for about $5,000 which still brings the overall price to way less than a new truck with similar performance.

    Everybody keeps calling these exposed oiled media air filters “cold air intakes” which is the complete opposite of bringing cold air into the engine. The factory intake brings air in from outside of the engine compartment which is considerably cooler than the air under the closed hood. Not to mention all the dirt getting past the oiled media filter. Increase the diameter of the intake system piping all you want, but I would personally prefer to have an engine that didn’t get dusted and actually pulls in cold air from outside.

      “ but I would personally prefer to have an engine that didn’t get dusted and actually pulls in cold air from outside”,
      This is as basic common mechanical sense as it gets, YES, Why use hot inefficient air from compartment and the suit-crap air the area usually accumulates?

    • @FreedomInc
      @FreedomInc 16 дней назад

      The factory airbox is super restrictive. Even with added temp the hp gain is there. An engine can inly burn the oxygen it has available to it. Call it what you want. For hp gains the exposed filter is the better option. If you live in a dusty area there are other options better than the factory airbox

Did my mods back in 04' Banks intercooler, Upgraded trurbo with a 4" strait thru exhaust, the big plus was the NaviStar/Inernational A/C injectors and upgrading to a TS 6 stage power chip! Rebuild the Trans with a converter to handle the power... But! Only run on stage 4 and Rarely give my beloved Power Stroke Hell :) She's a Mid-Night Blue Lariat and still looking Sweet!

    I have an 03 superduty 4 door 4x4 with a 7.3 that I’ve owned for about 12 or 13 years now. It gets 17mpg. My only mods are an AFE cold air intake, magnaflow 4” turbo back exhaust with no muffler, and I swapped to a turbo pedestal with no butterfly in it. Everything else is stock. I’m seriously considering the Hydra chip you suggested to see if I can squeeze any more power and mpg’s out of it.

      How do you like the setup? I'm planning on going the same route, only difference what im wantkng to do, bigger turbo with a 1.0 housing vs the .84 and an air intake that takes air from outside the hood not from under the hood....
      I had a 94 with 180/0 stock turbo with a 1.0 housing and exhaust mods and ts chip with tony wildman tunes, I would peg out the boost gauge if I stayed in long enough and that was 35 psi.... I have videos of the truck. I miss it sometimes.

Was on the fence with the 1.0 but so far no complaints with the .84 did have a issue with egts while towing but found out my Intercooler was leaking pretty bad replaced it along with the stock boots and now no issues.
      I've seen mid 30s while in my street tunes but I rarely jump on it .

    • @8020Media
      @8020Media  Год назад

      Yes - aluminum is more prone to corrosion from salt. Stainless steel holds up better. I've got an aluminum one on my F350 and I had to have a hole in the piping patched last year. So stainless holds up better/is more durable. Sound is of course a preference but a lot of people do prefer the sound made by aluminum over stainless on these trucks too though.

Im working on doing some more mods from RiffRaff like the FRx, high flow cvd's, oil feed cross over, banjo bolts, and other mods to support more power before i dig into the nitty gritty but im not planning on going crazy with power.

      @8020Media obs systems can't handle more, they run a mechanical pump, I would lose fuel pressure with 180/0 injectors.

    What guages would you recomment running on a pillar? I kind of want to keep it streamlined and nice inside and not add a screen but still have guages for important things.

    • @8020Media
      @8020Media  6 месяцев назад +2

      Boost and EGTs are the two most important - fuel pressure is good too to keep an eye on injectors. And then trans temp if you have an auto and want it. I just have boost and EGTs on mine but if you get a 3 pillar or something toss in fuel pressure

    I've had an e99 for 12 years and tried a TS6 tuner but saw a 2mpg drop in mileage so I run it in stock mode. Seriously considering an intake mod and maybe a higher flowing muffler. It's a daily driver that occasionally tows a 5th wheel. Not interested in more noise, but can deal with some to get more power and mileage. I'll try the 50 mph tune with any new mod to see if the mileage improves vs taking at hit. Nice video.

    Quick question, if you use the php turner and take the truck in for service, is the service provider able to tell if it has a tuner or not? What if you remove the tuner before taking it in and restore the truck back to the factory tune, can they tell if it’s was flashed?

    • @8020Media

      Do you have an aftermarket warranty or something? If you don't have any warranty then it really doesn't matter if they know it is tuned or not.

    Im looking at a 99 f450 for work. Im interested in upgrades specifically for towing heavier loads.
    It has 132,000 miles and has a 6 speed manual trans.
    I do masonry work in a remote rural town and have to haul material in for most of my jobs.
    This truck would be ideal for my situation, especially if it had a little more power over stock.
    I clicked on the link from the description here but not exactly sure what combination would work best?
    Thanks for any advice.

      @8020Media I picked up that truck the other day.
      It has a newer flatbed that's ideal for my type of work.
      It also has an aftermarket intake and 4" exhaust, not sure about any tunes but it definitely has quite a bit more power compared to the 7.3 I sold last year.
      I'm curious if it already has some type of tune previously installed can you install something different?
      I'm not sure how that works so I'll probably run it the way it is and see how it does.
      I have a light load to pick up this coming week that will be a good way to test it out. It's a 4 hour round trip through some mountain passes. Like I mentioned this truck definitely has more power but I need it to be able to pull heavy loads and not get hot.
      I couldn't be happier though, I only paid 4k for it.

      Depending on the year and model stock dyno numbers range from like 165whp-210whp. Torque will depend more so on the tuning but just running the Hydra you're probably somewhere around 650wtq range at 300-325whp.

      I use both for work.
      Ford is much softer ride and I think stops better.
      Gm is much quicker, better tow mode, it's an LLY tho. However my step dad had an lb7, and it survived that moron until he literally set it on fire drunk.
      Both will pull whatever the truck can handle just fine.

      Was the oil changed at 3,000 if in dusty or towing, or 5k if only highway, do you have records of maintenance, is it clean and looks cared for. Most equipment is about as good as it looks. Probably needs injectors ($1500 in parts, 1500 labor), and likely a trans if auto, and expensive truck parts like rotors, tie rod ends, etc. Could easy drop $10k into it... guaranteed. Or just run it and keep some Gorilla tape handy. I'd look for one with 150k on it at a dealer in northern idaho, and fly out, will save you $5,000 for sure, and you'll look smart. Dead serious.
