Hahahaha, gotcha. I just traded my 6.7 Ram for a 99.5 Ford 7.3. I have done a lot of work to it due to neglect in the past, but you helped you get through it. Thank you!!
I own a 7.3 F350 and I will never get rid of it. I will never buy one of these new junk diesels today they have out. For $80.000 dollar For one of them new trucks I can replace a lot of 7.3 motors in my truck
I love my 99.5 F350. She's barely getting broke in at 240K miles. I am currently putting new battery cables, batteries, and a starter on there. Just part of maintenance. Next will be CAC boots and the Banks waste gate and some other odds and ends. I'm the second owner, having purchased her in '03 from a coworker with under 60K miles. She never complains, just keeps chugging along. Thanks for the videos.
I believe the 7.3 was changed because they were built to last they can only go so long without selling trucks. ofcorse these people care about there products but as a chess game perspective I honestly believe all these company know exactly what they're doing like the 6.0 there's absolutely zero reason to make a more horsepower engine but only have not even 4 head bolts to each piston
Officially the emissions are better than 6.7 but yes it was California bitching about noise... gotta love California and all their commies stripping our rights daily eh🤔🤷🏼

my 7.3 bad on fuel getting 12 mpg.its all stock no modes.factory tire size new fuel filter new oil change new air filter as well.the injector do have 386,889 miles on them.
Your the best on these 7.3 and I hear a million people say they are reliable but I don't understand it cause I go thru hell with mines if it's not the injectors it's something else when you have time hit me back and I can explain the issues I have thanks
Like like anything else if you are the next buyer and the previous didn't do anything to it for maintenance it would seem there trouble some But when I can get to it send year cab style trans mods and issues

it takes regular ford recommended atf automatic transmission fluid if you put power steering fluid in you need to suck it back out / suck out fluid in ps pump turn wheel to right do again turn to left do again then install new atf do same thing turn r fill turn l fill keep doing till proper level and pump goes quite

I could teach you a few things about the 7.tree...been driving one for 23 years now. Its got over 720 thousand miles on it. 13 letter shitspreader INTERNATIONAL best diesel ever made. They are simple and will run on used oil,transmission fluid, Hydraulic fluid,methanol water injection, kerosene, propane, vegetable oil, Lucas, and 15/40 in diesel
got the Cummins wrong its not a v6 its a inline 6 cylinder turbo Cummins dont make a v6 ive ownd 2 Cummins diesels one was 12valve 1995 dodge 2500 2wd ext cab then i had a 2006 dodge 3500 bighorn with a 5.9 24valve in it my most favorite is NOT THE POWERSTROKE 7.3 BUT THE MOTOR B4 IT THE 7.3 IDI INDIRECT INJECTION DIESELS MADE BY NAVASTAR INTERNATIONAL CORP THEY MADE SEVERAL DIFFERENT MOTORS A 6.9 IDI 7.3IDI AND IN 1994 LATE 94 95 THE 7.3 POWERSTROKE WAS INTRODUCED
About spit out my coffee laughing on your commentary on the ceramic ball bearings. 😂 Great video, thank you!
Same here... Ceramic ball bearings!
That was funny, luckily it was just in the 2011’s.
I was impressed when you called the 5.9, a V6
And 16 valve bugatti venron... Think he means 16 cylinder bugatti veyron

Thank you for your videos. I enjoy learning about my 7.3 through you.
Nice.
HEUI injectors were made by Caterpillar fuel systems in Pontiac Illinois.
Loved it
I feel like an idiot I only thought the 5.9 came in a straight 6.
LOL someone is paying attention
I got one in 2003, great truck all around,still my everyday driver,and I work the hell out of it
7.3 wasn’t discontinued because of emissions but actually because it was to noisy if an engine the 7.3 is said to be cleaner than new 6.7 powerstrokes
I believe the 7.3 was changed because they were built to last they can only go so long without selling trucks. ofcorse these people care about there products but as a chess game perspective I honestly believe all these company know exactly what they're doing like the 6.0 there's absolutely zero reason to make a more horsepower engine but only have not even 4 head bolts to each piston
Vice President Al Gore had a lot to do with it.

I loved this video! You gotta see my truck!
Been having issues with my low mile 7.3, sadley i think it has a bad cylinder
Another point on the 7.3... Good scheduled maintenance and the beast will run forever! or at least in my case my 2000 only has 182K on her :)
I have 98k on my 02 6-speed. Ordered it to my specs and picked it up the week after 911. Seems like I’ll probably keep it until who knows.

Thanks brother and that was a good video I appreciate your time I wish there were more people like you that actually give a damn thanks again brother

Ceramic ball bearings is definitly just some stupid , it was bad enough they used brass bushings instead of steel ball bearings.
