I hope you can save these. Love to see older vehicles saved and reused rather than scrapped. We NEED more reuse and restoration than disposing and scrapping.
I personally own a 6.0 power stroke and have used the 7.3 power stroke and 7.3 idi they all are good engines if they have been serviced properly! The only thing that I can recall to make the 6.0 to act up when putting the fuel to it is one or both fuel pumps are going out ! Just check your fuel pressure one it! I would if it was my truck is to take it down to power stroke help down GA and have it dealer proof by them they make a 6.0 sing
I'd kinda like to see what went wrong with the 6.0, the OBS is easily great content, it would look great next to the 357. As for the '03 7.3, let's see what it takes to sort the leak!
I like the 6.0. I own an 03 6.0 CCSB Lariat FX4 and I have put almost 20k miles on it this last year with many of those miles towing my camper with very minimal issues.
I had a '05 F350 6.0...it blew a turbo at 50k, I kept it for another 75k and got rid of it. Don't waste $$$ trying to "bullet proof" that one. The 7.3's are definitely the winners! 🔥👍
Save em all. They all need TLC and will be damn good trucks. Im partial to the 6.Slow. Its a great runner just not built to pull heavy loads. 7.3s are boat anchors and slow as molasses but u cant kill em. Put em all back on the road!
That second truck might just be leaking fuel from the bowl into the valley. Would explain the long cranking time too. All super cool trucks. Good finds.
My dad bought one brand new like the 1st truck. A year later my sister wrecked it really bad. She walked away without a scratch (everyone was thankful for that), but that truck never drove the same after repairs. My dad was super bummed as that was his 1st new vehicle ever and he bought it when he turned 50.
There 2 sets of 2 Orings where the turbo mounts to the pedestal, and where the pedestal mounts to the block, it’s a super common leak and could easily leak that much. Another common leak is the fittings where the HPOP lines go into the HPOP
the 7.3 that took a bit to start, check your LPOP, it pumps oil up to the HPOP but if the tolerances get loose it will let oil drain out of the HPOP and make it tough to start. good stuff though, 7.3s for life
That 6 0 after you put a little work to it it can be a really good work truck. The issue with those trucks is people they don't I understand how to treat the truck
Hey Quinton !! Yepper !! Your favorite 1 is the 1 to save !! The 2nd 1 looks like it needs a lot of love !! The 3rd 1 will have to looked over carefully to be sure that 6 liter will hold up any longer !! Sure Casey would have liked to help you out again & you would only have to make 2 trips & ended the day earlier B/4 the storm got ya !! 😊🙃👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
That first one is a keeper if nothing it's the best looking. I had a 2001 F250 7.3 diesel crew cab with a six speed manual with 350k miles when I traded it in for a Gladiator. It was a beast of the motor but body was falling apart .
Your Superfund site generating oil leak might be something with the HEUI system, which is up in the valley… I’m not entirely familiar with exactly where things like the IPR valve or pressure sensors are placed in the valley, but I do know that system has to build high pressure oil before the injectors will fire, and if something is allowing the oil to leak by, that could have contributed to the long crank time. Just a wild guess, it certainly could also be something with the turbo oiling system, but my first hunch was something to do with the HEUI. But that is a TON of oil, so it shouldn’t be hard to find.
With that 2nd truck, I assume you either have hpop leaks, or a fuel line leak. There's a hole on the passenger side of the valley in the back that drains anything in the valley down in front of the flywheel and out under the truck. Had the same issue on my 95. Rear main seals are fairly uncommon on these.
That's how I found the oil cooler and filter housing was leaking on my wife's JKU is loading it upon my 40 footer. All the oil and antifreeze ran off the top of the engine and down the back of the motor and transmission onto the trailer deck. That happened the day before we were going to Moab.
Personally the extended cabs have been my preference, because of dry space. Never enough for a buddy & some gear. But as a 2nd truck, heavier is better, that f350 has some potential. Thanx !
Id like to see you clean up the extended cab a little bit before you send it off to work i know it’s a little used but the bones are still good. great truck also exited for what you are going to do with the obs thats a dang nice truck
Man it crazy to see that the beds arnt all rusted out !!! I am partial to the 6.0s because i have had 5 of them and good luck with all 5 !!! Thats a rare bird being an xlt 6 speed reg cab!!!@ i just looked closer it's an xl with upgraded seats and center console
👍2nd this(turbo o-rings)...or high pressure oil line/hoses from hpop to heads --stc fittings leak and or hoses develop a hole(sometimes the ipr on hpop leaks too)... Or the oil rail plugs at the ends of head, specifically the one at the back of pass side head gets baked from down pipe being hot right next to it for 20+yrs/300k+ miles. I've seen all of these leaks on my 3 trucks. If the oil is dripping down the back... It is 99.9% coming from top of motor and not rear main(which very rarely leaks). Oil leaking down driver side onto axle is oil cooler o-rings leaking(usually when cold& stops when engine warms up). Overall, those 3 trucks look pretty decent -wonder what the price was for the 3?
I recommend stiction eliminator from either arch oil or hotshot, for the 6.0L. There is no guarantee it will work, but may give you more time before you have to tear in to the HEUI inj system.
Not necessarily a 6.0L fanboy, but it sounds like you're a little biased (given the 6.0's reputation that's understandable) against 3rd truck. Hell, if it made it to three-hundred something thousand miles, and still starts/runs (especially given the multitude of "no start/run" issues it could have) it appears to have done what the logger needed it to do. Don't mean to be a wise-a$$, but you are pushing your luck using your trailer w/gaping holes in the deck, and off loading without someone spotting for you.
They have good land prices where you at almost bought a farm in Utah 10 years ago 320 ackers looking for land to retire on like high desert like your channel k
Why didn't you show what's in the boxes lol that was the whole reason I watched the video.I sure wasn't interested in the fords 😂😂. Love your channel.i look forward to seeing new ones
Hey boss y do u like Cummings so much !!! I'm looking 4 a tow truck for a 5th wheel. But ur opinion would be appreciated 🙂 Ps. Can a rv tow vehicle Use a splitter or hi low set up ??? Have u heard of such a thing ???? Crawlers do it to under drive but I'm thinking as a doubler/overdrive unit...
I think its really funny that you are talking so much crap about the 6.0L. Yes I know they are not great engines but a lot of times the problems come when they are chipped and pushed. This one MUST be at least decent as it has 350K miles, you do not get that if its total shit
I hope you can save these. Love to see older vehicles saved and reused rather than scrapped. We NEED more reuse and restoration than disposing and scrapping.
A series of videos on the restoration of the older 7.3 would be very cool.
Yes the last best ones! 92-97!
I personally own a 6.0 power stroke and have used the 7.3 power stroke and 7.3 idi they all are good engines if they have been serviced properly! The only thing that I can recall to make the 6.0 to act up when putting the fuel to it is one or both fuel pumps are going out ! Just check your fuel pressure one it! I would if it was my truck is to take it down to power stroke help down GA and have it dealer proof by them they make a 6.0 sing
I love how people refer to these trucks as vintage now, or "OBS." Seems like just yesterday they were on dealer's lots.
I'd kinda like to see what went wrong with the 6.0, the OBS is easily great content, it would look great next to the 357. As for the '03 7.3, let's see what it takes to sort the leak!

Love that striped 7.3! I WILL own one one day! That is such a great truck and I'm happy that you were able to get her.
That second truck might just be leaking fuel from the bowl into the valley. Would explain the long cranking time too. All super cool trucks. Good finds.
It's motor oil I was thinking a hpop line
The 6.0L isn't garbage. It just needs some work. Nothing beats the OBS.
I had a 97 Supercab Shortbed PSD and I wish I still had it. Fantastic truck. Yours is a gem.
My dad bought one brand new like the 1st truck. A year later my sister wrecked it really bad. She walked away without a scratch (everyone was thankful for that), but that truck never drove the same after repairs.

Don't ever let females drive something you care about.

Dang man that’s really sad 😔

I'm thinking you need to give that poor trailer a little bit of love - especially the deck! 😉
Yes give the poor old 6.0 life again it does look cool with the chrome grill guard and chrome grill
the 7.3 that took a bit to start, check your LPOP, it pumps oil up to the HPOP but if the tolerances get loose it will let oil drain out of the HPOP and make it tough to start. good stuff though, 7.3s for life
Definitely keep the 1st one the blue and white it's a gorgeous truck
That 6 0 after you put a little work to it
it can be a really good work truck. The issue with those trucks is people they don't I understand how to treat the truck
Hey Quinton !! Yepper !! Your favorite 1 is the 1 to save !! The 2nd 1 looks like it needs a lot of love !!

You sir have bought three rare trucks nowadays, at least from where I live. Good score! I'd try and fix them all up if it was me.
I can't believe the mileage and how good the bodies are!!!
That first one is a keeper if nothing it's the best looking. I had a 2001 F250 7.3 diesel crew cab with a six speed manual with 350k miles when I traded it in for a Gladiator. It was a beast of the motor but body was falling apart .

I just got my hands on a 96 F250 7.3 with 363,000. It’s lived a hard life but still kickin. It’s one of the main trucks on my channel now.
Super lucky find. Obs for sure .. I'm in. I would love to have my o2 7.3 back..
iron King Inc i love Ford OBS 7.3 6.7 6.0 Powerstroke and Ram CumminsTurbo Diesel Pickup Truck too I am your Big Fans of you Bros Keep it up
The OBS for sure.A gem in the making.
Great buy!!! That 6.0 tho🥵🥵🥵 i look every night for a single cab on Facebook and after looking tonight I saw your video😂
With that 2nd truck, I assume you either have hpop leaks, or a fuel line leak.

Give the poor 6 leaker power joke some love. I’ve Owned one for 14 years. It does work great when it works!😂 good runners sell easier.
that 6.0L probably has a bad or cheap aftermarket ICP(defective outta the box). the 6.0L would be cool to save i'd buy it from you.
Personally the extended cabs have been my preference, because of dry space. Never enough for a buddy & some gear. But as a 2nd truck, heavier is better, that f350 has some potential. Thanx !
Save the obs !! Clean it up and keep it classy no big dumb wheels
Agreed!
AWESOME VIDEO! Everybody’s getting money off these trucks. Great trucks I’d pick the 97 out of the others!
It's so good you took all time diagnosing truck so would start storm you talked about
More videos on the trucks please .
The obs f350 is a gem
And will always be worth good money
I’d Keep the obs for sure. The new 7.3 sure , but the 6.0 would take some convincing. Lol but the fact that they are all manuals 👍.
That 1st truck is definitely the only keeper the other two aren't.
I think the second 7.tree will come around
Lucky I love the 7.3s and 6.0 powerstrokes the 6.0s are solid if you keep up on maintenance and use good full synthetic oil
I don’t know personally but I would like to… Iv heard nothing but problems with the 6.0
Id like to see you clean up the extended cab a little bit before you send it off to work i know it’s a little used but the bones are still good. great truck also exited for what you are going to do with the obs thats a dang nice truck
Man it crazy to see that the beds arnt all rusted out !!! I am partial to the 6.0s because i have had 5 of them and good luck with all 5 !!! Thats a rare bird being an xlt 6 speed reg cab!!!@ i just looked closer it's an xl with upgraded seats and center console
Love the obs stuff, Ford's forever. Little concerned about what your towing them Ford's with!
The 2nd 1, is probably the o rings between the turbo and intake. A very common problem on high mileage 7.3s
👍2nd this(turbo o-rings)...or high pressure oil line/hoses from hpop to heads --stc fittings leak and or hoses develop a hole(sometimes the ipr on hpop leaks too)... Or the oil rail plugs at the ends of head, specifically the one at the back of pass side head gets baked from down pipe being hot right next to it for 20+yrs/300k+ miles.

Glad to see you back, was getting worried!
I think the 1st one is a keeper. Been wondering how the rest of your trip went in the old service truck
They should all start no problem. Sell the superduty 7.3s & keep the OBS.
I recommend stiction eliminator from either arch oil or hotshot, for the 6.0L. There is no guarantee it will work, but may give you more time before you have to tear in to the HEUI inj system.
Definitely like the first one , the third one , it could be a good truck after some work
Don’t stress yourself over the junk 6.blow. The 7.3 trucks are definitely where it’s at!
Save ‘em! Especially the OBS
Used to live in La Pine,that town has grown, great score on the trucks ,
6.0L engines once properly bullet proofed are suppose to actually be the best engine some will say. I'm a 7.3L guy all the way though.
7.3 powerstroke very rarely leak out of the valve covers
If you ever you want to sell a 6 speed out of the 6.0 and the mirror I’d be interested
I lived in la pine several years , along other towns like fork rock silver lake, I love central Oregon
Save the OBS for sure........Probably put the other 7.3 back to work somewhere..........Dump the 6.0 liter before you put much $$$ into it.
It's a great look old truck . 3rd keep for parts . Maybe for second one
Not necessarily a 6.0L fanboy, but it sounds like you're a little biased (given the 6.0's reputation that's understandable) against 3rd truck. Hell, if it made it to three-hundred something thousand miles, and still starts/runs (especially given the multitude of "no start/run" issues it could have) it appears to have done what the logger needed it to do. Don't mean to be a wise-a$$, but you are pushing your luck using your trailer w/gaping holes in the deck, and off loading without someone spotting for you.
That white single cab could use a good v10, It looks solid as as well
#1 definitely a keeper that’s a cool truck
Yeah, I think replacing the trailer deck would be a good thing.
I'm in the first few seconds of this video and I'm thinking where is Casey and his rollback !!
They have good land prices where you at almost bought a farm in Utah 10 years ago 320 ackers looking for land to retire on like high desert like your channel k
Why didn't you show what's in the boxes lol that was the whole reason I watched the video.I sure wasn't interested in the fords 😂😂. Love your channel.i look forward to seeing new ones
Big score I want one of them for towing how much. I’ll pick her up.
You must of got a good deal on them I was you you had a lot of trucks for spares surly you have parts to make good reliable one first one really nice
Oil in the valley could be oil filter housing cap. That what it was on mine.
You mean fuel filter cap? The oil filter is on the side of the block.
odds are the glow plug relay is out on the 7.3 that needs ether.
Good luck with your projects. I’ll be watching to see what you do. 👌
First ones a keeper, I have a 93 4x4 crew cab with a 460 owned it sense 95 second owner..
As others have said... Not likely a rear main. Old video but I just found your channel.
HPO line... Sorry, just watched the video. Easy fix.
Wont ever forget when i was 16 i worked for a loggin outfit out of glendale and we had an ol crummy with a 7.3 idi we dumped bar oil in every week
Save the 6.0
That 6.0 has a blown boost tube
Good video thanks for sharing.
Save all I have a 2995 with a 6.0 bend doing great.
FYI 7.3 very very rarely have rear main leaks
Maybe keep the 6.0 for parts to repair 7.3
The second truck is probably Hi pressure oil hoses or turbo pedestal
The 7.3 only need to ether because of the oil leak problem Lost oil pressure
If you part out the 6.0 I really want the zf6 I’m over on the west side of mt hood
Scrap the 6 L use it for parts for body repair the other 2 7.3‘s they are the best engine ever and I absolutely love that 97 i’ve got 4 7.3
The 6.0 sounds angry.
That first truck is so weird because I have the exact same truck except it's a 1996 also with 356000 miles on it!
Hey boss y do u like Cummings so much !!!
I'm looking 4 a tow truck for a 5th wheel. But ur opinion would be appreciated 🙂
Ps. Can a rv tow vehicle
Use a splitter or hi low set up ??? Have u heard of such a thing ???? Crawlers do it to under drive but I'm thinking as a doubler/overdrive unit...
I still don't understand why those trucks are called OBS. 🙄
To me a OBS ford is a early 1960 model.
Keep the best ones
I think its really funny that you are talking so much crap about the 6.0L. Yes I know they are not great engines but a lot of times the problems come when they are chipped and pushed. This one MUST be at least decent as it has 350K miles, you do not get that if its total shit
I believe those have the turbo drain built into the actual turbo pedestal
@DM_ironkinginc 🖕
Where can I find the brush bar on the 03 6.0? I want one for my 99 7.3
The number 3 truck part out
My brother has a 97 7.3 single cab we call it the hunting truck
Where are you located I’m interested in that 6.0 if you willing to sell
I wish I could get them from you
See if Bill Hewitt from powerstrokehelp wants that 6.0 it’s what he specializes in!
Get over to 406 cut some planks out of the logs there for your trailer bed.
The 7.3 motor will always start. No matter what.
I would use chains and binders.
