I installed the edge cts3 on my excursion 7.3 4x4 a couple years ago and I absolutely love it!!!! I am waiting for my hydra to arrive for my2003 7.3 f2504x4 and hoping I will like is as much as the edge!
@@colton7373 It is actually pretty simple. Go to JelibuiltPerformance.com and you will find the section for tuning. There is one for stock injectors tunes and one for custom injector tunes. Simply choose which one applies to you, select the tunes you wish to receive and enter the information on your truck and he will email the tunes straight to you. Then you just go onto your Hydra software and clear the old tunes and load the new. You can also call him and he'd be more than willing to help you out.
@@LivingOnWheels you’re amazing! I watch and follow your videos on the 7.3! You’ve given me so much knowledge and help you wouldn’t even begin to imagine! Thanks for everything
You just want to remove the "conformal coating” (protects the circuit from moisture etc.) and leave the tinning. The reason the copper will corrode, the tin will not.
I have watched a lot of ur videos and i like ur truck ,pretty sweet and have a lot of questions about that u seem to make up my mind for me on certain applications for 02 4x4 dually, from st.lucie county and i know ur close to me from videos
Pretty ballsy taking that case off and exposing that whole board. Great invite for FOD to fry that thing. Especially with your fingers bracing on all the surface components. Lots of static potential there. Pro tip from an electronics tech... Plug those cables in first then sneak the chip and cables into the slot, then plug the unit in... Leave the covers on. Hate to see somebody fry their board from handling. Unless of course you have a ground strap on your wrist.
Super cool vid. Saw it earlier today and I’m honestly thinking more about going with Brian for the tunes on my truck... running a DP tuner right now with similar setup but just feel like it could do more
Easier and safer to use a small flat head. Use the scotch bright to clean the left over (buff it out) Less material taken off tighter it'll be typically, Hydra seem to fit looser then a ts6.
If you have a superduty 99 split shots and get some big single shots with jelli tunes can you use the hydra high idle and low idle and save the 6 you buy for the good tunes. Hate to waste all that money on a high idle and low idle but want them. Basically will any of the hydra tunes work once you swap over from split shot or will only the custom tunes work?
I have a question? I’m a bit confused, this hydra chip out of the box I could install it to my truck, or do I have to go to their website and download the tunes myself and then install it to my truck ?
I installed a hydra quite some time ago, and love it a lot, but I never noticed a change in the idle speed, I'm still using the stock tunes, but maybe I'm just deaf. I've only gone up the 100hp Performance just to save what transmission I have left.
I currently have the TS 6 position on my 7.3 Excursion,it was on it when I purchased it. How do I take the TS off to out on the Hydra ? Is there a video out there some place how to take off ?
Have you done pushrods or headstuds? I think I heard you mention you've done valve springs but dont recall you saying if you didnt or didnt do them, Thanks man, badass build!
I just bought a 1999 f250 with a bigger turbo, straight piped 4", intake and Hydra tuner. The guy lost the paper with the tune set up, the list of 6 you have on that paper, would that be standard set up or are they different according to who tunes it? Is there a way to find out how the tuner is or should I leave well enough alone?
Sometimes they are standard and other times they are not. If you know where he got the hydra chip from, you might be able to find out what tunes are on it. If you download the hydra software onto your computer, you can plug the chip in and see the names of the tunes as well!
If you get them burned before you install, it’s plug and play. If you need to have a revision you just have to upload it yourself and burn it. It’s pretty easy!
Dude, let me tell ya one thing about that. Even though the tunes are "s a f e" does not mean they are recommended, an unmolested and stock 7.3 will run tunerless for easily 500k miles before your injectors start giving you problems. New injectors alone can pretty much push your engine to a million miles. Spank a tuner on it and youve just ruined your total mileage amount. Especially if you run it on a high HP tune for long periods of time. i get tuning for torque towing and mileage but please dont rape an engine on stock injectors. unless you plan to buy new injectors and be ready to baby your ext gauge. Ive been a diesel mechanic for 32 years and was a first year buyer of a 7.3 In 95. the truck still goes great to this day with a little over 800k on er. New 80% over injectors on it last spring, new oil pump, fuel pumps, and little things like fuses and wiring of course. the most ive done is add a cold air intake for some performance, the injectors running on a stock-tow tune (stock, tow, eco and heavy tow tunes) but didnt put in the tuner until last spring when i replaced the injectors too. Runs like butter still with no major engine issues. i started about 8 years ago doing 2 year teardowns of the engine since the mileage is hiking up, and towing a 5th wheel near daily of course causes bad wear. i use archoil additives and anti-gel in the tank every winter. Kept it mostly rust free on the body (see profile image) by using some crane lube, put a good amount on the underbody about 6 years back and not a single spec has flaked off yet. that shits built to last and wont fall off. suspension issues are present but its just some old shocks i gotta replace. and have done the steering (pitman, idler, sway bar, steering shaft etc) and standard ford tranny issues. did an allison swap around 2010 when it became popular. took the tranny from a t4ee bus in a scrapper with under 5k miles on it (something happened to the bus, cant remember anymore) and routine oil changes of course. with full fluid drains and replacements every 12k miles. if thats too much of a book to read, in short the 7.3 is a great engine, if you find one today and want to buy it, make sure the owner cared about it and didnt let it rot. since theyre getting harder to find and more expensive by the hour. Tuners are safe so long as they arent useless power tunes or coal tunes, and of course if you have aftermarket injectors. its just sad that the great 7.3 is paired to the horrible ford transmissions. Go with an allison swap if you want quality. -Mikael M.
@@cameronadams8101 Full force stage 3s, udp stage 2's and if you seriously need major power id suggest swamps 238/200 set. not best for fuel efficiency or reliability, but gives a fuckton of power. if you want some reliable middle-of-the-road power injectors probably the udp stage 2/3's if you dont care as much about power probably the full force stage 2s in like 180ccs -Mikael M.
one more thing if youre gonna run the big swamp injectors youll have to do studs, hpop and probably bigger turbo. but will improve hp and torque a lot. -Mikael M.

That was lame. i watched for eighteen minutes and got to see no video of the truck driving with the new tunes.
Agreed
Can’t wait for my php hydra to come,when I get new injectors and turbo I’ll definitely check out jelibuilt performance!
Running Brians tunes on my truck as well. He definitely knows what he is doing!
Living On Wheels yeah he’s awesome, really knows these engines!👍🏻
The 7.3 Garage how can you get his tunes? I’ve had a hydra for a long time but I’ve never changed the tunes the previous owner put on it
You can get them from his website Jelibuiltperformance.com He’ll email them to you and you’ll need to upload them to the chip with the Hydra cable👍🏻

What up OBS Fans!
One of the lucky who bought one that actually works huh. Must be nuce.

Can you download tunes from the Hydra website and then load them to the Hydra tuner?
You can download the PHP software and they have their tunes on there that you can download to the chip.
@@The73Garage Thanks!
I have a question?
I’m a bit confused, this hydra chip out of the box I could install it to my truck, or do I have to go to their website and download the tunes myself and then install it to my truck ?
What’s a good tube for Snow plowing? Would Tow tune work for that?
What mileage do you get on your OBS?
I installed a hydra quite some time ago, and love it a lot, but I never noticed a change in the idle speed, I'm still using the stock tunes, but maybe I'm just deaf. I've only gone up the 100hp Performance just to save what transmission I have left.
you should do a vid on literally anything that you do or fix or a obs cuz half the time I don't know what I doing when im fixing mine
I currently have the TS 6 position on my 7.3 Excursion,it was on it when I purchased it. How do I take the TS off to out on the Hydra ? Is there a video out there some place how to take off ?
Remove the pcm and replace it.
Discount the batteries!!!
If there any specific steps to follow if I want to install a hydra but my truck already has a ts6?
Love my '99
is it possible to put the chip on a gasoline 1997 f250 i tried doing some research and i found nothing on it
Have you done pushrods or headstuds? I think I heard you mention you've done valve springs but dont recall you saying if you didnt or didnt do them, Thanks man, badass build!
imma jerk thanks dude! Yes, top end has studs, push rods and valve springs. Gives you room to run high rpm with out worry about floating a valve.
What that song that came out at the start of the video
What did the set-up run you with the tunes?
I just bought a 1999 f250 with a bigger turbo, straight piped 4", intake and Hydra tuner.

Did you get your chip with tunes preloaded? If so is it just plug and play? Or did you have to use a computer
If you get them burned before you install, it’s plug and play. If you need to have a revision you just have to upload it yourself and burn it. It’s pretty easy!
How do you get the tunes burned? You said you had someone email them to you , how did you do that?
Contact Brian at Jelibuiltperformance.com, he can get you set up with how to do it!
I read it. Can hold 17 tunes.
Can you tell me where to get this tuner from I would like to get it from the Brian guy you mentioned thanks
www.Jelibuiltperformance.com
Im not jellous of the 2019, I know newer trucks aint nuffin but problems.
What if the truck had a chip at one point from another tuning company was removed and then install the hydra would that be bad in any way?
Maaaaaan how did you land so many subs i Just started my channel a couple weeks ago
Can you put that on a stock 7.3
Yes!
Were can I get this kit
Jelibuiltperformance.com
Can you put that tuner with stock injectors?
Yes! It can be used with stock injectors.
👍
Where's the new vids bro
Jim Yanik working on a new one! Should have it out this weekend👍🏻
whats that button swtich above the tuner i got the same switch in my 7.3 dually and i have no idea what its for
Old light bar switch
my 7.3 has 299 k miles never been tuned / will it effect my truck negatively if I installed the hydra ?
cameron adams you’ll be fine, the tunes are safe!

Could you send me the article number please
is there a tune that will literally just roll coal ?
josh oneal take the inter cooler pipe off 😂
if you want coal. just dump diesel into your turbo. wont be black though itll be white
