I have a 97 250 7.3. While I have my fuel filter out I have a I gallon vacuum that I vacuumed the bottom of the bowl out, there's always little pieces if junk in the bottom! I bought a attachment kit for vacuumed that's used to detail dash board, it has a little slender vacuumed attachment that gets around fuel bowl heater element and wires!! Well worth the effort!!!
Very nice. We just pour clean fuel inside the housing and flush it all clean. This gets any debris you can't suck up. Just a little trick. Great job again. Semper Fi
I have the older version of that motor and 1995 7-3 Powerstroke little bit different style filter but it's pretty much the same there's no drain for the bowl so you got to suck the fuel up manually would like a pump like what you have I usually just use a Shop-Vac and then before I put my new filter and I fill the bowl back up with diesel so there's no need to wait for it to be primed
Its a great feeling when you get something for less and stretch its life and performance to "like new" standard. Just by taking PROPER care of it. Can be a great investment. This one looks that way.
I'm a snowmobile guy and have been watching your power modz for years but I'm a otr truck driver with 29 years experience and own a 99 Ford 7.3 stock and if you turn up the power on your diesel truck you will have nothing but problems mine is stock and that's why I bought it
+Alex Matthews Not really true. The oil in the HPOP is circulated every 30 seconds or less. However it is a good Idea to drain it when you change the oil, so you get new oil, and not mix the old with the new.
@@F450FTW What debate? There's no arguing the fact that the hpop gets its oil FROM the primary sump pump down in the pan. Anybody who fully understands how the engine works is absolutely sure of that. lol
@smokey spice Not really. The later generation of 7.3PS had an electric fuel pump, which DID in fact prime easily by nature. But the first gen 7.3 powerstrokes had mechanical pumps, which really sucked if you had to prime them. The good thing about replacing the fuel filter as preventative maintenance, though, was that there was enough fuel in the rail (if there were no air leaks) that was sufficient (at least on mine anyway) to start it up and refill the bottom of the fuel bowl quickly enough to keep it running as it fully primed. Empty fuel lines, rails AND bowl on the mechanically pumped 7.3's though, and you're gonna be cranking for awhile.
Ah.....best to cycle and get all air out first. Only takes a second to fill the bowl THEN start... Just because you've done something and it had not caused any problems, it does not mean it's right Sun lite
60$ direct from Ford, jeezlus the local part store wanted 70+ tax for just the filter! (What your installing). What I pulled out is a filter w/ cap attached. Could see that being damn near 150$. CAD too. I ordered from rock auto 40$CAD shipped. Like to support local business but not with that mark up
I change my fuel filter every year before we pull our camper back to the midwest. I usually use a MicroGuard filter from O'Reilly's. This time I used a Ford filter and it had that triangular gasket... It made me wonder if the top required a flatter gasket... It doesn't leak.... yet... But it has me worried.... The MicroGuard filter was only 10 micron and the Ford Motorcraft was like 4 microns? I've changed the filter top several times. Does the Ford filter require a special top? The filter didn't come with one.
+josh myers I watched one of Diesel Rons vids where he completely removes the in-tank filter...wow! what a difference. It runs like a new truck, only with 213,000 miles on it. You just need to regularly change your normal fuel filter.
Subbed, just picked up a 01 7.3 6 speed dually with 135k miles for my RUclips project vids, excited about that beast!! Let’s see what other 7.3 junk you have on the tube lol brb
I have a 2001 7.3 F-250 after watching your video just before you started the truck I heard a rapid clicking sound, On your video the clicking sound stopped and the truck started, on my truck the clicking never stops and the truck won't start any suggestion?
I ran out of diesel and now I have crank no start, fuel bowl fills and after cranking I seem the still have air in the bowl but I will bleed with the drain valve to refill and crank, repeat for like an hour… my pick up tube is shorter than I thought in my auxiliary tank and it sloshed just right to where I lost all my diesel.. time to crack injectors? Fuel bowl fills up like normal, almost sounds like injectors are getting fuel
Alright! Honduras! (Years ago I made 4 vacation trips to the "Bay Islands" for Diving. Fantastic Diving great people. Island "sand flies" were murder.. chuckle.
I appreciate your tutorials and especially like the clarity of the video. It is very well lit and the resolution is awesome. I could see everything under the hood. What kind of camera are you using? Everyone should use it. Thanks!
Where did you get the vacuum pump from that you vacuumed out your fuel bowl , can you share the link or website, I would like to get one so I can vacuum out Hopo reservoir.
I've got an 2000 F350 dually, 7.3L turbo diesel. the only way it'll start is if I pump the throttle, the motor drags like a bad battery until fuel gets down into the cylinders, then it turns over easily(well a lot better). if it's hot I have to do the same thing. even if I start it and turn it back off then try to restart, still have to pump the pedal. I've checked both fuses and they are good, fuel pump on the rail is running. I even unplugged the plug at the top of the pedal and it'll start, but only if I pump the pedal, after starting the throttle has no response. any ideas as what I could check next and if so is there a test for it? oh, it's not throwing any codes and it has a small hesitation while driving, but clears when given more throttle. thanks for any reply.
Hello. I just got a new problem I'm my 7.3 ford 350 . Was running strong today but somehow it's lose power I already been changing the fuel filter and air filter i don't think it's was like that before.
A little bit of oil on orings works good and seals. Just fuel can bunch up top oring and not make a seal and it will leak as soon as u fire it up! It sprays everywhere! Lol Go to PowerStroke Help RUclips page! Change oil in top HOPP! That oil never returns to pan. Just gets mixed when new oil is pumped thru injectors. He shows u how to suck it out in one of his 7.3 maintenance video's.
yup, comments in videos show many problems with non motorcraft. They guy I bought from said ONLY use ford parts, and aside from a carquest starter relay, which has been fine, he seems to be spot on.
Patents don’t last forever, and ford doesn’t make there own parts it’s all contracted out to the companies your saying don’t make a quality part. Wix makes many of the filters sold as OEM, same thing different sticker.
I think my 99 power stroke ran out of fuel, changed filthy filter, cycled 4 times ect. tries to kick but wont quite go.I read there is no way to bleed the injectors. Can you help, please
THIS IS A POOR DESIGN! Install a remote filter assembly that takes CAT 1R-0749 filters (bought mine on EBAY for $45), and a fuel shutoff valve to prevent prime loss when changing filters. The 2 micron Wix 33674 fits it and is a hell of a lot cheaper! (CAT $35, Wix $20). Use the filter mounted on your engine as a secondary filter and change 'em both at the same time. YOUR INJECTERS WILL LAST A HELL OF A LOT LONGER!
Just wondering have you done the video for the tank filter removal i have searched all your vids but i can't find one for that my friend has one and this one was a great help but i need to find the one to remove the fuel tank his one has two tanks and was run dry on the first tank so it picked up all sorts of junk to the main fuel filter so any help would be great :)
Bank number one is not working at all the injectors are stone cold and it is not spitting any oil I have disconnected each injector on bank 1 plug them back to see if anything changes I make sure that the harness and the connector are nice and tight and that looks good I decided to swap out valve cover gaskets and harness from bank 1 too bank 2 problem continues so I swap solenoids From injector 1 to injector 2 and problem still there then finally I swapped out the injectors from 1 to 2 from 2 to 1 same thing. Bank one is not spitting any oil and injectors are cool . I check the wiring I don't see any cracks or melting wires I have not been able to check it with a multimeter yet but have I done enough to eliminate the injectors obviously being bad and the solenoid and the harness ?IDM ?
hey thanks for getting back to me! no leaks! it started then died the very first time! then nothing after that ! ??? how many more time should I keep priming it do you think ? or should I start the complete process over again? and if you are ever in Nicaragua Ill buy you a beer for helping me with this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your video was the only one that is clear and to the point !!
art guy Yes please cycle it through 2-3 times at about 30-40 seconds each. if it still doesnt work then please check your main seal on the fuel bowl, the one you replaced with the new filter - it may not be sealing well. I'll take you up on that offer!
Really? I am asking about a 7.3 diesel you know. I have never heard that you can just do that. Everyone says running it out of fuel is so bad because you then need to individually bleed each injector and the bat goes dead before that happens.
Steve Savoie just cycle key few times then crank it. Bleeds itself! U can crack open the drain valve to make sure its full of fuel before u trust starting it if u ran it out. These injectors are under valve cover. U can't get at them. Its not a Cummins. Oil psi pumps up these injectors

What is the signs of dirty fuel filter and dirty air filter. I buy one F250 1993 with 7.3 turbo engine i take in mechanic replace the fluids in transmission and differentialls is tell me the air filter is okay. But because my truck do hard starting need cycle the glow plugs 4 times yesterday and one time is start only when i spray starting fuel. I take out the air filter and i see is very dirty now i wonder if fuel filter is dirty too. The truck have power but in acceleration i feel is bogging down, The person i buy the truck tell me one battery is bad. Is can be the battery for the glow plugs? For that reason my truck no start easy? In diesel engine when i turn the ignition i have to p;ress the gas pedal too? I am totally new in diesel. And anyone know what is the top speed for 7.3 turbo 1993 engine?
Haralabos Lukatos what are the temps outside right now? your 93 7.3 is a idi (Indirect Injection) diesel. Its different from the 7.3 powerstroke. the 7.3 powerstroke bring DI or (Direct Injection). idi diesels can be a bit of a pain to start. If you have one bad battery it will effect how it starts for sure just because you cant crank it as fast as it should. It can make the glow plug system weak as well, along with one bad battery will kill your other good battery, so when you replace the batteries you need to do both. You can change the air filter, but in this case I dont believe its so much your air filter, as much as one weak battery will cause it to have trouble, and possibly a few wore out glow plugs. luckly, on the IDIs they are easier to change. On the powerstrokes they are under the valve covers, on IDIs they are on the outside, the only real issue you can have by changing glow plugs is if the tips are swollen they can be a bit of a pain to remove. You dont want to brake the tip off into the pre chamber. If that happens then you need to either try and use a small magnet to get it out, pull the head, or pull the injector and try and go in and get the tip out. sorry for the long reply. but if he says you have one bad battery start by replacing both batteries first and see if that helps, which it should.
Thank you for the very helpfull answer. Yesterday i buy two new batterys from wal-mart. this morning i cycle the glow plugs 4 times finally the truck start. For i not wear the starter i try few times turn the engine when i see no start i stop and i turn the key off and on again i wait until the glow plugs stop clicking. The temperature this morning is was 54F. Air filter is was dirty i replace. When i buy my truck i take in one mechanic to see what is need. Is tell me the air filter is okay but i see is not. i look for diesel mechanic but is hard i found one. Two i found is works only in big trucks
you are welcome, no problem at all...the glow plugs are clicking? you really shouldnt hear the glow plug relay clicking, normally clicking means you have 1 or more failed glow plugs/ or a problem with the relay. How long does the wait to start light stay on? does it just sit there and click off and on? also watch your volt gauge, does it bounce with the clicking?
You are welcome too. thank you for the answers. The start light is not working. Clicking noise i hear always when i turn the key. Yes the voltage gauge is bounce with the clicking
yes, if that holds true, then you should probably ohm out the glow plugs and see which ones are bad, or just replace all 8 and be done with it. when you decide to get them, be sure they are for your 93 7.3 idi and be sure that they are motorcraft brand. there are a bit cheaper brands, but they are known to fail early along with the tips swelling up and being difficult to remove.
anyone know how to bleed the air out of a 2002 7.3 super duty? I changed the filter and now it doesn't start. DAMN, and it was running fine, little sluggish b4 I did this SMDH
How I do it whenever I do filter, f-pump etc. You take the in line off the filter off clip under the hood (not completely off ,just so it will bleed when cranked, hold with a rag so you don't make a terrible mess) have someone crank and most of that air in line from f-pump whine will go away, slide forward back on with the clip and crank her a few seconds and should fire, another way to try that works is turn key on and wait 30 secs and do that 6-7 times and should start, let it idle until all bubbles are gone and truck running good, try this first and if does not start go to what i began with(filter bleed) good luck!!
This guy is much better than the other video of this I watched.
I have a 97 250 7.3. While I have my fuel filter out I have a I gallon vacuum that I vacuumed the bottom of the bowl out, there's always little pieces if junk in the bottom!

Thanks man, I appreciate this video. Thanks for not putting music behind it and for being very clear.
Thanks..was curious about the priming phase. Excellent!

Its awesome, i get better mileage for sure, about 60 miles a tank better so far.
Run the new filter for about 20 miles and look at it. I bet it looks about the same as that old one 😉
I like the f350 videos. Mean sounding truck. You should.continue to do updates on it. Not just for how to's but anything neat you do with it.
make sure you replace the oil in the high pressure oil pump too, it will make the injectors so much happier
+Alex Matthews Not really true. The oil in the HPOP is circulated every 30 seconds or less. However it is a good Idea to drain it when you change the oil, so you get new oil, and not mix the old with the new.
+crusty old fart wrong. these systems don't circulate worth the shit
so then it doesn't get dirty.... and no need to replace, or does it sort of circulate?
This debate will live longer than the chicken or the egg debate. Everyone on both sides are so sure of themselves.
@@F450FTW What debate? There's no arguing the fact that the hpop gets its oil FROM the primary sump pump down in the pan. Anybody who fully understands how the engine works is absolutely sure of that. lol
This video help a lot thanks for shearing the filter was plug and din't start on my 7.3

Never primed my 2000 7.3 after filter swap. Just started right up.

wouldnt hurt to change the filter again, and cleaning the screens in the tank, you did your homework!

Got an E350 which is harder to access the fuel filter, but @ least I know the procedure.
My 1995 7.3 doesn't have an electric fuel pump only a mechanical. I think priming has to be done by filling bowl before putting lid back on????
don't forget the filter in the fuel tank. it gets plugged first

get rid of the filters in the tank and put an external one on the frame near the tank, been there done that and its easier to change that way.
I've done the modifications, absolute must. Get them filters out of the pickup pipe in the tank.

better now that im running a 5 40 synthetic:) seems to start fine but i plug it in on really cold days.

Thanks man👍
Do you have a video on bleeding fuel system when you run out of fuel and go dry? Maybe I am using the wrong keywords to search...
if you run dry just turn your key two positions and let the fuel pump prime the system - will take 30-50 seconds most times, then you are good to go.
Really? I am asking about a 7.3 diesel you know. I have never heard that you can just do that. Everyone says running it out of fuel is so bad because you then need to individually bleed each injector and the bat goes dead before that happens.
Steve Savoie If you figured out how to fix this please let me know! I have the same problem. 7.3 turbo diesel went dry and now i cant get it started
Steve Savoie just cycle key few times then crank it. Bleeds itself! U can crack open the drain valve to make sure its full of fuel before u trust starting it if u ran it out. These injectors are under valve cover. U can't get at them. Its not a Cummins. Oil psi pumps up these injectors

For i not wear the starter i try few times turn the engine when i see no start i stop and i turn the key off and on again i wait until the glow plugs stop clicking. The temperature this morning is was 54F. Air filter is was dirty i replace. When i buy my truck i take in one mechanic to see what is need. Is tell me the air filter is okay but i see is not. i look for diesel mechanic but is hard i found one. Two i found is works only in big trucks
you are welcome, no problem at all...the glow plugs are clicking? you really shouldnt hear the glow plug relay clicking, normally clicking means you have 1 or more failed glow plugs/ or a problem with the relay. How long does the wait to start light stay on? does it just sit there and click off and on? also watch your volt gauge, does it bounce with the clicking?
You are welcome too. thank you for the answers. The start light is not working. Clicking noise i hear always when i turn the key. Yes the voltage gauge is bounce with the clicking
yes, if that holds true, then you should probably ohm out the glow plugs and see which ones are bad, or just replace all 8 and be done with it. when you decide to get them, be sure they are for your 93 7.3 idi and be sure that they are motorcraft brand. there are a bit cheaper brands, but they are known to fail early along with the tips swelling up and being difficult to remove.
I see you never made the tank filter video
that is not a oem cap that is bad

1997 7.3 and I think I’ve lost my prime
anyone know how to bleed the air out of a 2002 7.3 super duty? I changed the filter and now it doesn't start. DAMN, and it was running fine, little sluggish b4 I did this SMDH
How I do it whenever I do filter, f-pump etc. You take the in line off the filter off clip under the hood (not completely off ,just so it will bleed when cranked, hold with a rag so you don't make a terrible mess) have someone crank and most of that air in line from f-pump whine will go away, slide forward back on with the clip and crank her a few seconds and should fire, another way to try that works is turn key on and wait 30 secs and do that 6-7 times and should start, let it idle until all bubbles are gone and truck running good, try this first and if does not start go to what i began with(filter bleed) good luck!!
A.J. Towin cycling the key twice should be enough to purge all the air out of filter housing back through the return line
You don't need to drain the fuel bowl.
Canadians are awesome! But they don’t mix with diesels because of the emission laws.....America doesn’t either but it is not as bad...yet.
Fuck the truck I was there for the poster. Lol
Awesome. Subbed
Lookalike your lower injector orings are bad allowing oil to back feed into your filtdr
