8:00 I know it's old, but if you are close to the coast, that copper anitseeve will work oppo in the salt air. It will make things worse. The gray or nickel is better all around.
Cummins guy myself but i doubt you’ll find a Cummins guy that won’t admit the 7.3 is a legend itself. Really cool stuff in your build . I had no idea they made that style of turbo mount for the power stroke . I’m excited to see it plumbed up like that instead of at an angle from the factory .
I have friends who are die hard Cummins guys, but I love my 7.3 that makes more power than the 12v 5.9 does stock. People like to crap on the Powerstroke’s but the 7.3 is a legend of itself. My montra is keep it stock & it’ll last a long time. If you up the power don’t be ridiculous & blow up the block. Maybe double the hp if plenty. Any more get a crate motor so you don’t ruin a perfectly good 7.3 by making a hole in the block. People who by these things also want a long lasting truck. I like a little extra power, but not to where it’s ridiculous.
The 7.3 Garage, I was @ the gas satation & I saw a truck next to me that had maybe 5-600hp 7.3. It was pretty cool, but if you want power go for a new truck & blow them up cuz they still make them. Once you up the power it takes a bit out of the longevity of the motor.
Careful, 9ft-lbs is definitely not 240in-lbs. Remember, 12 inches in a foot, 9x12=108......9ft-lbs = 108in-lbs. Great build! Glad to see an obs getting so much love. Your attention to detail is impressive! Keep up the good work.
In case anyone doesn’t have vacuum pump setup.. 1/4” plastic fridge ice maker/water line and a large plastic syringe work great for clearing oil out of cylinders. It’s actually pretty handy setup to just have around garage, I use it more often than you’d think. (Can find syringes on Amazon, they’re used for glue/crafts or gardening. And make sure the 1/4” line is the rigid type, not the soft tubing)
Brandon, I have been watching a lot of your videos. Some 2 and 3 times. I think they are some of the very bet on the tube for sure. Your is a OBS heat breaker ...OMG do I love it. Though u to this point I have never had a diesel anything but have wanted one for many years. After watching your build and other videos I got inspired to go look for a truck. I have a gas 150 but I wanted a OBS diesel 250.Finally I found one I could afford single cab blue ( love blue but the color just turned out that way by chance) 1994. Seems to run strong as hell. 210K on it, and was told it just had new injectors and fuel lines ...transmission and brake booster. I didn't realize it at the time, being so unfamiliar with diesels that mine looks different from any other one I've ever seen. The fuel filter was moved from the valley and relocated on the passengers side of the engine. Have never seen that before. Even the big silver vacuum pump that on others is located on the drivers side in now on top in the front. I am confused. he Ac needs work so an going to send it out to be repaired., and then will ask more about the other things I'm not familiar with. Your new build seeing how you were so meticulous and precise on everything was a dream to watch. That's right...sometimes you have no idea how you influence others when you do such admirable work. I'm up in Jacksonville and would love to some day meet you, and learn more of what you have done to your rig. might even pay you as a consultant. It would sure be worth it. You are an encyclopedia of knowledge and a great inspiration to me. Really enjoyed your chip video. It was awesome. Thanks so much for producing these great videos. You kidded once about your OCD...but let me tell you, in cases like this it has really paid off. Thanks again Brandon for sharing so much with your fans
The bellows on the down pipes aren't for flexing,they're for expansion and contraction. You will probably break them if you try and flex them. I've had hundreds come through the shop with exhaust leaks from people who tried to flex them into place and ended up with a very expensive exhaust leak.
Goddamn!!! That is one sexy hunk of iron. Gotta say I appreciate your attention to cleanliness. Been asked so many times how my engine is so clean and its literally as simple as just cleaning things as you work on them. Also, I would love to work on a 7.3 outside of the engine bay haha. Would be SOOOO much nicer. Now stop making me want to buy and OBS for the channel haha
This might be a dumb question but... what about wastegate? I have a 2001 and also have the irate kit coming with the S369sxe. I have the turbo now, still waiting for T4 kit but i thought the wastegate would come with the turbo
will the kc turbos plumb up with that t4 kit? Also, I was looking at their t4 kits and I couldn't find anything that was a single mounting plate like the one you have in the video they look like they are 2 pieces.?
I don’t hav winch knowledge on the KC turbos as far as the T4 kit goes. As long as you have a T4 flange I would imagine it would work with the Irate diesel kit.
What was the final bore diameter? .030 or .060 over? What pistons and rods did you use? Cam lift and duration? Stock roller lifters? Are the valves stock or did you go with over sized valves? Valve guides? Springs, after market? I missed all these details?
Engine is .20 over, Mahle pistons with Manley connection rods, cam intake lift is .430 and exhaust is .433. Stock lifters, stock valves with Comp 910 valve springs shimmed .30. New valve guides, etc!
did you ever total the receipts to see how much $$$ you have in parts and machining? Im trying to figure out how much i should spend to have one built. I simply don't have the time to do it myself. Any referrals to a turn key builder?
Love ! that someone finally made a dedicated 7.3l channel. When I was modding these pigs we was on our own. If I could give one piece of advice, slow down! Your jumping all over and ramble. Great job keep up the good work !
Where did you find the pedestal delete? I was looking on their site and fund the kit do you have to buy the whole kit or can you buy the plate by its self?
Outstanding! Nice to see how all that mounts up with the engine out. I'll definitely use your vids for reference when I start tearing into mine. I think the words you were looking for in reference to the spouts is "pot metal." May I ask how much Swamps charged you to flow/check injectors? I bought mine used with less than 10K miles on them & although I trust the guy, I'd like to be sure.

Hey brother just a tip try(blue monster) ptfe tape and liquid thread sealer. It's my go to since I tried it
I’ll give it a shot!

Its a HUGE step in a different direction for us 7.3 guys, opens up the playing field for us. There are some seriously badass 7.3s out there!

7.3 and a 300zx??🤯 This man has taste!!

Chris B you are correct! I may have misspoken. I get paranoid and will double and triple check my numbers! I appreciate the heads up and the love!

I take a 10mm deep socket and cut about a 1/4 of it length off to install them glow plugs works perfect.
Where the hell did you find a 10 mm deep socket??
You know people don't you ?? LOL
Really loving the motor work vids
wow, those cylinders in the middle must have much more power? because of the intake air feed
I really like the way you explain everything so well my man keep up the good work I learn a lot from watching all of this
Thank you! I want everyone to get something out of it!
The 7.3 Garage 👍
Love it! Glad to finally see a good video of installing t4 uppipes

I appreciate the kind words! We try to keep a good product for all of our personal trucks and trucks we work on!
cracked off the casting around the galley plugs too.haha I'm not alone.

I love the build man
I wish my 7.3 look like that!
Good work Brandon!
Let’s go Brandon !
Man this is gonna be one sweet rig
If you are using that anti-seize compound you might want to go back and retorque everything after you get a few heat Cycles in
Jake Resch yess. What he said
You'll want to hot torque those injectors after a few miles and the engine is hot. I usually go with 130 in/lbs.
Thank you so much for all this great information and details can't wait to mine one day
Damn it’s not even my truck and I can’t wait to see it fire up
And that bolt head is called chamfered
KickAss man love 7.3
You have any problems with your oil pump at all adrenaline pump.
Nope, no issues!
Sometimes you need locktight oppose to anti seize.
How’s fitment with a 3” down pipe that’d go on a oem turbo or is it still usable
Pretty solid! Moving the firewall gave me plenty of room
Sorry man I wouldn’t have my lawnmower serviced in Hialeah. I live here in south Florida, I know.
Who knew that one foot equals 12 inches
Goddamn!!! That is one sexy hunk of iron. Gotta say I appreciate your attention to cleanliness. Been asked so many times how my engine is so clean and its literally as simple as just cleaning things as you work on them.
Also, I would love to work on a 7.3 outside of the engine bay haha. Would be SOOOO much nicer. Now stop making me want to buy and OBS for the channel haha
How do you not have way more subscribers
Lol, Teflon tape and oil don't mix
Dude, total badass build. Also, what is the paint color on your truck, I have to do mine the same.
Hello, activate the subtitles if you are so kind please 😅
Good video... next time if you want to do ft lbs just divide your inch lbs by 12
You're a funny guy
🙌🙌 🔥🔥
Anyone else watch this and yell at the screen telling him to check his rocker arms before they break? No just me?
Great build but please verify your own torque #’s for hardware!
9 ft lbs is 108 in. Lbs
This might be a dumb question but... what about wastegate? I have a 2001 and also have the irate kit coming with the S369sxe. I have the turbo now, still waiting for T4 kit but i thought the wastegate would come with the turbo
If 10 ft/lbs is 120 in/lbs how can 9ft/lbs be 240 in/lbs?
will the kc turbos plumb up with that t4 kit? Also, I was looking at their t4 kits and I couldn't find anything that was a single mounting plate like the one you have in the video they look like they are 2 pieces.?

.030 or .060 over?
What pistons and rods did you use?
Cam lift and duration?
Stock roller lifters?
Are the valves stock or did you go with over sized valves?
Valve guides?
Springs, after market?
I missed all these details?

You going to push the envelope.
Water methanol injection?
😊👍

I love the blue, what's the name of that blue?
Royal blue metallic!
@@The73Garage thats such a beautiful blue for that truck
Lol, you don't need conversions for ft lbs to in lbs, there are 12 inches in a foot. All you do is multiply ft lbs by 12 to get in lbs.
How is the trim on this truck so straight?
How can I get a 7.3 garage sticker?
Love ! that someone finally made a dedicated 7.3l channel. When I was modding these pigs we was on our own. If I could give one piece of advice, slow down! Your jumping all over and ramble. Great job keep up the good work !
HOW IS 9 FT POUNDS 240 INCH POUNDS. AND THEN 10 FOOT POUNDS 120 INCH POUNDS. DID I HEAR THIS RIGHT.
Where did you find the pedestal delete? I was looking on their site and fund the kit do you have to buy the whole kit or can you buy the plate by its self?
If you're referring to the T4 kit, you have to get it as an entire kit from Irate diesel.
What website is he referencing ?
Does any one know. how much it costs to built proof a obs
And how reliable is the stock trans in the obs
Outstanding! Nice to see how all that mounts up with the engine out. I'll definitely use your vids for reference when I start tearing into mine.
I think the words you were looking for in reference to the spouts is "pot metal."
May I ask how much Swamps charged you to flow/check injectors? I bought mine used with less than 10K miles on them & although I trust the guy, I'd like to be sure.
David Oliver thank you! I hope they can help you out👍🏻 yes, they were $35 per injector to flow and clean.
@@The73Garage $280 for peace of mind, well worth it. Thanks Brandon
240 in-lbs is NOT 9 ft-lbs if 120 in-lbs is 10 ft-lbs which it is.
Follow you on my insta @black_5oh. Awesome video! Hope to do some work to my 7.3 in the future!
Love your truck man! Thank you for the support, let me know what you need!
Are you using stock obs exhaust manifolds? Thanks great looking pick up.
Nice work that engine looks clean 👍👍
LoL what's the matter lil fella? Afraid of the camera? Cant hide behind your hat forever! 😂😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈🧢🧢
