Learn how to remove the air pump (aka smog pump) including bolt sizes and tips/tricks. Make it a drinking game every time you hear “1996 Ford F-350...” 🤣
Thanks for the video I picked up a reg cab 89 f350 4x4 from the original owners family. He passed away and it sat for 4 years. 50 somthing thousand original miles. Replaced fuel pumps and cleaned out the tanks and she’s running great again. This will be the next thing I do. Thanks again for the video!
Special thanks for including the belt used after removing the smog pump. Saved me a lot of trial and error along with time! I have a camper with a 460 and then pump was totally jammed and I couldn't find a replacement.
@@scottsthaname1you're kidding right? The EPA isn't hunting individuals, they are going after big diesel shops, eBay sellers and companies selling smog bypass equipment.
I did a full smog delete on my 95 460 best choice I ever made trucks runs a 100 times better got headers going to dual pipes with mufflers runs a lot better and sounds great to
Nice truck I have a 94 250 with the 460. Thanks for posting the belt part number. What else have you done to the truck and how are you going to put coils on it?
Right on. I haven’t done much to it yet other than the mods in my videos (cat and muffler delete, air intake horn delete). For the coils, I’ll eventually do an axle swap. Get some axles from an ‘05+ Superduty and viola! You can do a little welding OR swap it by doing a little more drilling and do it bolt-on style. I’ll make videos of it when I do it with all the info!
I’ll have to look tomorrow but it was from auto zone and I do not recommend it...unless you’re selling your truck that very day and want it to look good for a hot minute. It gets a lot of build up with this stuff on it and, it looks great for a few hours but then starts to grab every spec of dust around.
Need some help. I have a 97 f250 with the 460 and tried the smog delete but now runs weird. Only thing I capped off was the Plastic Y on passenger side where the 2 pipes from the manifolds meet. Am I missing something?
There are a couple of black pipes that come out from the back of the motor that are just offset from the center of the engine bay towards the passenger side. Trace those back to the motor and then you’ll need to plug it. IIIRC, it was maybe a 3/8” NPT fitting from Napa. Been a while since I did it.
@jamesleon98 I put long tube headers on mine (460 efi) and it sounds like a champ. Definitely improved the sound. No dash lights before or after doing so. Highly recommended. I used Doug Thorley.
Thanks! No codes and not a different idle. I did notice a change in the idle though when I did the air intake horn delete and I feel like it runs really well.
Awesome! I was changing my valve covers and it was blocked by all this egr stuff. I’m gonna keep my valve but was gonna take off that smog pump. Sorry if I missed it in the video, but did you just plug up the areas where the hoses came from? And you just cut off that piping to the exhaust and just left it open? Thanks for all the help! Never done a delete before myself and just trying to see what all it will take.
Yep I just cut the pipe off the exhaust and also removed the cat altogether. On the back of the motor, there’s a spot where you can screw in an NPT plug fitting so you can get rid of the tubes. I’ll see if I can find the size I got and let you know.
Thanks! I’m not sure about the smog part. I live in the great state of Texas where they don’t care about the environment and we don’t have smog/emissions testing in my county. I’m sure someone else will chime in.
@@olemansailor6519 i live in California i think it dose but idk thanks for replying im just take the pully off and bypass it then put it back when i get it smoged
@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 I just wanted to ask cause my just locked up an I live in ny cause we all know how cali an ny are but thank you for letting me know
Thanks, appreciate it. Doing the smog delete shortly just want to get all the parts before hand. Cats getting cut out, going straight piped with dual tipped side exhaust.
I’d imagine it’s similar. The belts may be slightly different but I’ll let someone else answer whether it is or is not. Disclaimer: this is legally binding advice. If I show how to do something and it’s wrong and you mess up your truck, I’ll buy you a brand new one.
While changing belt on my 93 460 I loosened only the top bolt pried over the alternator then pried it back... bottom bolt certainly would of snapped if I wouldn’t of. Good luck.
remember they had one less number then so it rolls over at 100,000 miles. It is likely yours rolled over at least once, sorry. Look at driver's seat and wear to carpet, it can help id milage, at least give you a guess.
Hey I bought a 460 recently that is in a 92 F350. Can I get in contact with you and ask what a part is on it? My smog was deleted as well and I have a loose wire. Just curious if it went to it. I can send a picture somewhere
There's a couple of excellent vids on here that detail the FULL removal of the emissions, including smog, egr, and they include the info on the three wires that get modified in the harness to stop check engine light

Dang. Sounds like a piece of work! Now start making some videos!

Cheers
I'm having the exact same issue right now on the side of the road lol
@@estBradley that air pump will seize and they are almost impossible to find.
@Mr fix it Yeah that's why I'm relieved to hear you don't really need it
Very helpful thank you in process of removing all the power restrictions on my 90 f350 460
Stock manifolds smog etc … deleted cat
it also helps lower engine bay temperature and makes your manifolds last longer
Great video Sir. My smog pump just started squealing l ike crazy. Yeah im considering this now 😢 thank you so much for the information.
I'm about to do a top end rebuild and delete all the extra crap from under my hood... thanks for the belt #...👍
Yeah buddy!
@Jim Bell I'm kind of worried about getting hunted down by the epa...
@@scottsthaname1you're kidding right? The EPA isn't hunting individuals, they are going after big diesel shops, eBay sellers and companies selling smog bypass equipment.
@@TheRoadhammer379 you don't "sarcasm" much do you...
Did you just plug the open vacuum lines??
I did a full smog delete on my 95 460 best choice I ever made trucks runs a 100 times better got headers going to dual pipes with mufflers runs a lot better and sounds great to
So whit out that they get beter performance and dint afect that engine I want to do that on my 87 ford bronco whith that 4.9300l6
What did you use to plug the back of the headers?
Great job showing and telling, I took it off mine too and that’s the way you do it great job. Well see ya next time see ya bye

Is it possible to leave the smog pump in and install the new shorter Napa belt?
Sir. If theres a belt to bypass the AC compressor. I would love to know that too
will the cruse controll still work or not, i rly wana do this but i use the cruse controll on my truck so pls lemme know
What happens if you dont block off the holes in the manifold?
Nothing significant
Nothing worse than a drugged up motor, eh
Had the mechanic smog delete when doing an efi conversion, he didnt plug the holes
What have you applied to your hoses to make them shiny like that? Mine are all brand new but don't look that good. Is it armor-all or something?
I’ll have to look tomorrow but it was from auto zone and I do not recommend it...unless you’re selling your truck that very day and want it to look good for a hot minute. It gets a lot of build up with this stuff on it and, it looks great for a few hours but then starts to grab every spec of dust around.
how did you plug the holes in the exhaust manifolds?
Wondering the same thing
5/8” plug does the trick 🤛🏻
@@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 on both manifolds?
Did it effect the ac or blending doors?

What does this do? Does it improve anything besides a few Hp?
Increased engine life bc of less “strain” on the motor. A marginal increase in power. Those are the 2 main reasons.
It also allows you to remove the catalytic converters
What would be causing the drive belt to wear faster than normal? Mine has a light colored line starting to show on the inside edge of the belt.
The belt that also goes to the water pump?
no cel for the Thermactor when deleting this?
Nada
Does it affect how it idles and runs?
Makes it run marginally better and it idles the same
Thank you I want to do the smog delete so that I can install headers
@jamesleon98 I put long tube headers on mine (460 efi) and it sounds like a champ. Definitely improved the sound. No dash lights before or after doing so. Highly recommended. I used Doug Thorley.
Thanks for posting! Quality video, hard to come by these days. When you deleted the pump did your engine throw and codes or idle different?
Thanks! No codes and not a different idle. I did notice a change in the idle though when I did the air intake horn delete and I feel like it runs really well.

Okay thanks! Do you still have the egr on yours or did you take that off too?
I have not done the EGR delete on mine.
Will work with a system with mass air?
Yes
Hey dose it pass smog like that thank you great video im trying to do mine taking me a while....just got a subscriber you deserve more
Thanks! I’m not sure about the smog part. I live in the great state of Texas where they don’t care about the environment and we don’t have smog/emissions testing in my county. I’m sure someone else will chime in.
David Martin A few states have what they call a Visual Inspection. If your state has that you won't even get to the smog check.
@@olemansailor6519 i live in California i think it dose but idk thanks for replying im just take the pully off and bypass it then put it back when i get it smoged
@@davidmartin5591 California does have a visual check.
A lot of states font require 1 tons to do emissions
Im just curious that never threw a check engine light or anything
Never once had an engine light or code from doing this
@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 I just wanted to ask cause my just locked up an I live in ny cause we all know how cali an ny are but thank you for letting me know
How do you like your 460? Picking one up tomorrow.
I love it and have some plans for it down the road to put some ‘05+ axles on it so I can have coil suspension. What kind of truck are you picking up?
heyitsmedouglas heyitsmedouglas that’s awesome! A 94 F250 auto 4x4 regular cab with 122k, one owner. I’m excited!
Congrats! Make sure to send a pic...and to do the smog delete 😉
heyitsmedouglas heyitsmedouglas truck turned out to be a lemon...not as advertised. The hint continues!
Well that blows. At least you figured that out while the other guy was still the owner! Keep us posted on your search.
Does it pass emissions?
Yes but I’m in a republican county in Texas so it’s easy to pass. I’m not in communist Houston or Austin or anywhere liberal.
So what were the fittings you ended up putting in the manifolds
Great question
...? Got a answer then.? lol
They were some npt plugs but I don’t remember what size they are. I’ll do some searching to see if I can find it.
5/8” plug
Thanks, appreciate it. Doing the smog delete shortly just want to get all the parts before hand. Cats getting cut out, going straight piped with dual tipped side exhaust.
Did you delete the air box too?
Remind me what an airbox is lol
@@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 The small box sitting besides the smog pump can with the small vacuum lines
I’ll have to rewatch the video to see. If it wasn’t in the pile of parts I showed, it’s probably still on there but idk off the top of my head.
Is there any way you could give me the paint code for that blue off the door tag. Thanks.
Says “Ext Paint: LE”
@@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 Thanks Amigo, getting ready for a repaint and that blue looks awesome on these trucks.
🤛🏻
Where’s that air pump located?
Beneath the alternator
Fuck taking the actual smoke pump off can I just leave it there and disconnect it and run a shorter belt and bypass it
is it the same thing on a 1991?
I’d imagine it’s similar. The belts may be slightly different but I’ll let someone else answer whether it is or is not. Disclaimer: this is legally binding advice. If I show how to do something and it’s wrong and you mess up your truck, I’ll buy you a brand new one.
I tried the wrench and cheater bar and now it’s stripped what should I do
Start with some liquid wrench and soak it. Then try welding a new nut onto it and try again.
While changing belt on my 93 460 I loosened only the top bolt pried over the alternator then pried it back... bottom bolt certainly would of snapped if I wouldn’t of. Good luck.
I tried every belt that NAPA Auto parts had for a 351 which is what I have and none of them worked
Not sure about a 351, as mine is a 460. Kind of surprised Napa couldn’t set you up with the right belt.
I need to desmog my 78 Lincoln, only 40k miles and its basically mint
Desmog it and then take it to a demolition derby. Get pictures or a video!
@@heyitsmedouglasheyitsmedou1312 lmao
remember they had one less number then so it rolls over at 100,000 miles. It is likely yours rolled over at least once, sorry. Look at driver's seat and wear to carpet, it can help id milage, at least give you a guess.
Would that smog pump make your check engine light come on and off?
It did not on mine. Some guys with earlier built trucks have said they get them. Mine is a ‘96.
On a 97 yes
The egr delete is what throws the codes. You would want an aftermarket setup like 460efuguy.com
How long is that belt
Looking it up online, it looks like 47.875” (47 7/8”)
Hey I bought a 460 recently that is in a 92 F350. Can I get in contact with you and ask what a part is on it? My smog was deleted as well and I have a loose wire. Just curious if it went to it. I can send a picture somewhere
🤛🏻 heyitsmedouglas@gmail.com. I don’t email much FYI so it make take me some to respond.
I see we have the same garage
Not ideal for rolling on a dolly but it handles cold beer spills better than concrete
No one ever talks about the check engine light
I didn’t get a check engine light when I did it. Still no check engine light a couple of years later…
There's a couple of excellent vids on here that detail the FULL removal of the emissions, including smog, egr, and they include the info on the three wires that get modified in the harness to stop check engine light
what size for mew belt?
060473. 6pk1203. One of those numbers at a local parts store. I used Napa.
Now get electric fans
