first time here bro. love the content. i just purchased my first 7.3 powerstroke, trying to learn as much as possible so please keep sharing any knowledge you have. Thanks bro!
Damn love seeing people from my are I grew up in flag and now live in verde ..just bought a 95 powerstroke
lol, you should make a video montage showing that absolute frustration of fixing previous owners garbage fixes and chasing down old truck issues! Oh wait I could make one of those! :-) Love your videos man!
Your truck is looking good, keep up the great work,
Love your videos man, keep up the great work.
Aside from a simple air intake and exhuast the best mod you can do to an OBS is a charge air cooler install aka intercooler. Compressed air from the turbo is hot and less dense. This will automatically make more power and improve fuel economy at the same time.
94.5-97 the later obs had intercooler
Nice video, your OBS looks awesome!! I just subscribed keep up the cool videos
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. My friend just bought a 1999 f350 with a 7.3 l. It's a dual wheel dump truck. And has an automatic transmission. and we were looking to get a little bit more power but nothing outrageous more torque than anything. and I was unaware that they had that restricted downpipe like that.
Take the dump off of it for one those things weigh a ton
Awesome! Thanks for the video. Subscribed!
From my home town! Heck yea man been in that area a million times 😂
Great video I plan on getting one and plan on doing what you did
Tymar makes the best downpipe for these trucks, it starts out 3 Inch then goes to 3.5 inch as soon as it passes the firewall and then goes to 4 inch. That is the best you can get unless u wanna modify the firewall for a 4 inch downpipe
Honestly it’s worth the work modifying the firewall for the 4 inch
@@extraspremier9971 there is no gain modifying the firewall for a 4 inch downpipe when the turbo outlet is 3 inches, look at duramax for instance they are making over 1000 hp with 3 inch downpipes.
I've never understood why diesel guys always wanna put on the biggest down pipe possible. Sure a bigger pipe allows for more flow but there is such a thing as too much flow. You still want some back pressure otherwise you'll actually be losing power. Maybe theres something to it that I don't know and someone can explain it to me
@@JordanSVT turbo diesel don't need help with backpressure the exhaust side of the turbo is fairly small as is the exhaust manifolds.
@@JordanSVT That’s a myth and it’s completely nonsensical. You never want backpressure. Backpressure literally equals negative work in the exhaust cycle. That means negative torque, which also means negative power.
In a NA or SC engine, you really want to have high speed flow in the headers, but in a turbo engine, the airflow after the turbo just needs to be as high as possible because the turbo is what’s giving you the big torque adder, rather than any possible scavenging effect.
WHUT UP GUYS! From “THE CARPENTER DAD” channel, home of the 7.3L 97 OBS CREW-CAB UNICORN TRUCK. Thanks for sharing this video!
Liking the vids man keep it up!!!
I got a 97 f250 7.3 it is 5 speed and the inside isn't bad just the floor and front seats and the body there is one dent but it isn't bad but this video is great because I thought about adding power
You're growing!!!
You won me when you said "for auto. Youll want to have a trans temp gauge" 👍👍
Same here weather wise in MONTEREY California. T-shirts and hoodies all year long
Keeping her rolling 🎲
Personally I'm fine with stock injectors since I don't plan on moving anything other than a boat but the down pipe is a must the stock air filter definitely needs to be changed over in my arrogant opinion
Great video, and Love that Front bumper! Where did you find that?
Dude! Theres a near perfect red 8 foot bed on Craigslist near me, with the molding and the tailgate for a little extra. 23324/ Hampton Roads Va Craigslist.
My down pipe I just used a porta power and cut the tab on the zf5.
did you make this a short bed? it’s hard to tell. if it is, how did you do it?! it looks amazing.
Get a php hydra tuner. Definitely worth the money. Super easy to install. I’m no mechanic and I did it myself. My 96 F250 came with a TS performance chip and that cheaper than the Hydra chip and gives way more power and speed. I just prefer the hydra since I tow 8,000lbs.
New sub I just wanna say you’re videos are awesome
928 OBS no problem man I’m trying to save up for a 7.3 my self
928 OBS it sucks I live in Maryland and it’s hard to find survivors from all the salt but I’m gonna keep on grinding and find one of these trucks
Fix intake restriction and exhaust restrictions. Also ebv delete pedestal gets rid of more restriction. Wicked wheel is optional.
Buen trabajo compa ...
Thank you for the vid. I installed the pod and 3 gauges today. The boost hardly moved unless I really stomped on it, and it moved to 10. Is this an indicator of a poor turbo or something else?
what about transmission and driveshaft? and you need stopping power. What you do for brakes?
I live in nearby and I recognized where you were filming lol, I definitely wanna meet up and checkout your truck! I have a 96 almost identical to yours.
That’s awesome brother! Hopefully here soon I can free up with work and we can meet up
@@blowingdiesel Sweet man sounds good 👍
Nice truck. Thinking on buying a 92 4x4 5.0 auto
Caleb Gamer fuck it bro get a 96 5spd 7.3 and do what this guy did to his truck, I’m telling you other than speed (mines still pretty stock) it won’t let you down
you can make loads of power with those old trucks, id be more worried about the transmission than anything else, though.
Hey bud, what tuning system are you using and about how much does it cost?
Lol, yeah, but even up here in SD, we're expecting a 70° swing in temperature within days time. Mid 40's by the weeks end. Really though, to the truck, I was gonna do everything else besides the intake and exhaust before the chip. 👀
Difficult to find credibility in that conspiracy when it was -50° recently... Either way, all I know is nature always wins 🤷♀️
Hello sir, I have a 1997 f250 7.3 130k miles original its all stock. I've replaced small stuff but nothing that serious. My question is my truck sometimes will start but go dead, sometimes it takes several start ups to get it to keep running, when she does that I know running that day is gonna be IFFY. But somedays she will start right up and go all day without any problems. Also somedays days I'll be rolling good and she will just go dead for no reason. What do you think the problem is thanks in advance for your help
How can I can make all the gauge like your,I need to update my truck 1993 Ford F-350 7.3 manual.i need help
Can confirm 4 inch down pipe required lots of hammering and some removal of firewall
After market turbo full kit or awful to also very hard to reach
What pipe did you use to make that air intake?
About a year late to this vid but I just bought a 1996 F-350 XLT crew cab dually with 250k miles for 4K should I rebuild the motor adds mods or just buy a new 7.3?! Opinions
I have a 4-speed '87 6.9 I just picked up, and it is SLOW (so slow I painted a "Warning: slow vehicle" sign on the back,). I upgraded the air filter and have been thinking about doing the exhaust next. Does anyone know where I can get headers for the '83-'87 diesels?
I got a 7.3L Powerstroke in my 97 E350 & I'm out to get more power out of this old girl. I got a 4" exhaust just about ready to drop in...gonna take out some of my downpipe & run 4" from like 8" to 10" from the turbo. Probably run a 45deg. kickout with a 45 deg. slash cut in the tailpipe.. Looking into a stiffer fuels reg. spring , intercooler & then the injector kit. Think about adding in a bigger turbo to add on to my Garrett. I would like to explore compound turbo's & the best is Mr. Gale Banks. I saw how he modified the "Rotsun's" turbo which Mike Finnegan built up for ROADKILL. If my exhaust turbines can start spooling @ a lower RPM range...the boost across the board would be insane.
Hey man, I really dig your truck. I'm looking for a spec just like yours, obs f350, single cab with a manual, but I'm having no luck. Was yours hard to find?
It was kinda hard to find a decent one exactly like I wanted and at a good price. It took me a little over a year and that’s before they were as popular as they are now.
But good luck hope you find one soon!
Good vid. Looking forward to future upgrades.
I have a 96 OBS that came from AZ. Now in Michigan, :-)
What part of Michigan I’m near Detroit and I have a 96 F-350 Crew Cab dually
Near Grand Rapids :-)
Karl Nash that’s about 2hrs away from me
I’m out in the Prescott valley area. Also in the middle of mildly restoring a 1996 power stroke, it’d be cool to link up sometime 🤙🏻
Yes. Im in mesa and would love to pick his ear!
Were did you get triple pillar gauge pod?
I fit a 4 inch downpipe on mine by seperating the right side of the cab two inches, it slipped right in.
Have you looked into compound turboing a 7.3l OBS? I have 180/30 injectors, KC performance turbo, plus a lot of other mods, but was hoping to do a compound turbo set up. I was just curious if you had looked into it?
… I am at 350hp and 650 torque at the wheels right now, I’m hoping to be around the 400hp mark at the wheels without having bigger injectors than the 180/30’s
good video my friend..!
Nice man
Thanks brother
your summers are great... sure it's 100+ but like NO humidity
dude im so pumped!!!! I just figured out a 6 year old problem while I was welding up the bracket for my regulator for the truck...
who says trucks aren't good for ya?!
im the middle of my e-fuel conversion then rolling into studs, springs and pushrods =D been collecting parts for about 2 years, finally all coming together now!!!!
im self taught on TIG, can weld stainless and ti in all positions but mild... mild constantly kicked my ass so I just stopped trying turned out I wasn't getting the scale off... was using a wire wheel to clean it up before never noticed that it wasn't getting the scale off... i couldn't find my wire wheels so i just grabbed my flap discs to prep for welding...
it just never hit me because you don't have the scale layer with titanium or stainless... you just rough it up with the wire wheel and clean it off... felt so stupid yet happy lololol
back to working on the mount for the FPR, how's your project going? im about to start on head studs and valve springs after this.
I need to get rid of that stupid down pipe... lol got the same 6637 and a 4 in pipe with a DP tuner.
Needs injectors and turbo! Nice truck you got there!
before turbo you need comp 910 valve springs and new pushrods. as well as headstuds if your going to go over 40 psi of boost.
Down pipe would deffinely help on mine.
Are you in the Verde Valley? I have a 95 obs 7.3 2wd 5spd. I've had for 20 years and it still runs like the raped ape I test drove. Built in Canada probably on a Wednesday. From original owner who did some awesome upgrades to tow a big boat. And some I'm not sure about.
Would like to SAFELY get more hp out of and know I'm ok. Would love to show you this truck and maybe you can clue me in. Thanks so much!
Sounds like you have a sweet truck man. I’m in the Prescott area if your ever in town just let me know I would love to check it out.
What tuner company did you go with ?
Also a huge thing brother that your going to need before throwing that chip on. And I don’t remember you covering is E fuel that stock pump will not be able to handle that chip for very long once you start running on it I promise! Sweet truck though!
Definitely man these are always exciting videos don’t care if the front end is falling off I’m a huge obs guy! I love mine and never selling it
Hey buddy I got the 1996 f350 powerstroke turbo diesel and i have an issue i have this truck for about 4 years with no problems at all my brother a week ago changed my fuel filter and I'm not saying that because that I have the issue that I have now but really I would appreciate your help the problem is this my son went to start the truck 2 days ago this was what happened he put in the key turn it waited for the "wait to start" light to turn on but it flashed real quick and turn off so he wait 7-10 second and turned the key but the truck wouldn't start so he turned it off and did it again but the same thing happened and I found out that its blowing the fuel number 30 for the fuel pump and the wait to start light won't turn on now I have no idea what the problem I would appreciate your help
Hermano, tengo una duda. Tengo una troca igual pero últimamente no tiene fuerza, no tira nada de humo. Por donde puedo empezar a checar?
A las cuantas revoluciones tiene que cargar el turbo y cuanta presión debe marcar?
No encuentro la falla espero me ayudes en algo saludos!!
Oh tambien fijate que no tenga fuga de pression los Up Pipes que van del turbo a los Manifolds. A veces train fuga y se escapa la pression del turbo y pierdes fuerza.
hey bro im having some truble finding a bed in fl for my 1995 f150 8' bed
First of all....thanks soooo much for your videos. My truck is bone stock, except I just put in a TS tuner. But I'm not getting ing any extra HP. I feel the 50hp, but nothing more when I select other positions
Your presentation could have been better...but I can't throw stones because my presentations ain't prefect either.LOL!!! Been taking notes...been a diesel mechanic for years...even the IDI V8 from Navistar/International Harvester... You know the drill...high pressure oil to operate thei electronic injectors...go figure. I love my Powerstroke though. Powerstrokes can be badass like a Cat 3208. My van is my 1st ever Powerstroke of my own!!! Even bone stock she still kicks ass. Eventually I'm going to get rid of her automatic & go with manual shift. I'm probibly going to use a 4spd trans as a "Main" & both the "Range Splitter" & a 5531 Brown-Lipe auxiliary box. How do I know it will work...I drove MANY rigs with the Dana-Spicer 5X4 twin sticks set up, so 24 forward gears would be perfect for my van & the welding & wrenching I do the field. Don't mind the haters...they got nothing better to do & some got NO DIESEL Pickup or Van... You'll see my Van on my Channel...I call her "Bessie."
How hard is it to add the 6 position chip
Nailed it on the Downpipe! Those things are garbage! Keep it up the awesome videos!
had a 95 model put a 150hp chip on it and never bothered to upgrade the exhaust. Sadly the truck was overheating towing back and she burned to the ground
Im looking at another one. The owner wants 1600 the motor has low compression. But i found a 2wd dually with 86k miles for 2gs that has the bed, interior and other parts. My plan is to turn the srw crewcab into a low mileage dually with a zf5 and make it a daily/tow on the weekend truck
What year is your thks
My dad has a 1997 ford f super duty 7.3 which is technically an f550 before the f550 and it had the k&n intake,air filter and a big ass exhaust also had a tuner in it so it was making about 500 horse and that was enough for a tow truck (edit) he also put in some higher hp injectors
Gerardo Diaz 500 horse according to who cause that damn sure wasn’t on a Dyno
My husband just bought a 96 7.3 and he needs to do the up pipe on his truck is there any you recommend?
Haven’t done mine yet so I have no input but I do know that he should definitely go with some bellowed up pipes when I replace mine I might use the diesel site up pipes check them out
What year is your truck?
Is it a good idea to do any of these mods to a
Truck that has 358,000 miles? The truck is in great condition and runs great and has no signs of stopping
Itll be fine
If I have a automatic, which guages do you recommend ?
Ferminsito Rivera a trans swap
arizona is one of the most hot places
I really want a 96 f250 powerstroke. I cant find a single cab though and I WANT one so bad.
Yea just like he said take your time, I ended up finding one parked in front of someone's home who ended up being the original owner selling a stock 4x4 7.3 truck with 140k miles perfectly clean for 8k
what's different about the 96 thats not the same w a 95 or 97?
How much will all this cost?
hey 7.3L OBS a got a question
i replace the fuel bowl housing,glow plugs,heads injectors harness wiring,IPR & ICP sensor
bran new oil and fuel filter
AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON...
just when get warm up.
(never came on before with the stock parts an sensors.)
may day may day hellllpppp.,please
(97 f250 7.3L powerstroke obs.)
Did u ever find out what was wrong??
What size injectors do you have ? And how much hp you making
They are 180cc stock nozzle and not sure on the hp but I would guess it’s in the mid to high 300s
Down to have a run ? I know you worked with KC turbos in AZ 😎
@@blowingdiesel yessir! Right here in Mesa!!
What year is it ?
I've got a 97 f250 with the stock mechanical fuel pump. Do you recommend that I get rid of it or can I get away with leaving it??
You can leave it but you will be limited to how much hp you can make
@@blowingdiesel Thanks for replying!! Do you have any suggestions on any electric fuel pumps?
When you did your exhaust did you have any low idle problems?
JUST DID MY EXAUST NO IDLE PROBLEMS
Hey man I turned 16 today and craziest thing ever I found a f350 crew cab non dually with 46inch tires. Just curious do you think it’s a good idea to buy it since the engine is so reliable and just put smaller tires on it something more daily
Thanks for the help man. Yea I honestly am not sure what to look for so would have to get someone to go with me. It’s just this is the first obs 7.3 I’ve seen near me and well I want it lol
Yeah thats a bad ass truck, I'm 17 and bought my 7.3 last year. Its a 96 7.3 now its got a 4 inch lift and 35inch tires which is plenty big enough for me. Just don't make the same mistakes I did, check for blow by, ask for service records, make sure he serviced the diff regularly oil changes, ect. Also don't settle for the first truck you see! keep looking if anything makes you uneasy!@@tsiyyon5601
Elijah Lauver a cool fact I noticed is it’s extremely local. I looked at the tail gate and it faded and said Adkins ford which is 15 min from me....makes me curious to wonder if it’s a one owner truck
@@tsiyyon5601 You can always a run a car fax to make sure. I've bought 2 vehicles now and car fax has never let me down.
I am getting an obs I live in Arizona I would like to strait pipe it but will that pass emissions?
Az Dirt biker the 95-97 models came pretty much straight piped, because they didnt have smog regulations at the time. even in Cali, the word smog law state, there is no regulation. they just weren't equipped with emissions tech.
to see if it's a gross polluter or not a smog referee may hook it up to a machine and run it at 2100 rpm for 15 minutes to see how it's egt's look
How many miles does it have
I just bought a 1997 F250 2x4 7.3L
Where do get the pcm like that with the manual switch?
its a ts 6 tuner you can buy it from multiple websites just search ts 6 7.3 and it plugs into your pcm.
Thanks man
Do you recommend any mods for a stock 7.3 idi with a manual?
BAM BAM turbocharge it
I a have truck that runs good and won that runs bad and if your thinking of wanting your truck suck diesel like a fuck and the motorhave more problems then don't put any mods on it
Idiperformance.com
Hey man im in mesa and just bought a 183k 99 7.3. Id love to pick your ear.
Any time brother and congrats on the new rig
@@blowingdiesel back story, 99 f250 ext cab bought from passed old man. 182k, nice diamond plate tool box and 45 gal transfer tank and 6 pos. Chip. Had new valve cover gaskets, deleted turbo pedestal and up pipes installed. Had oil leak. Took to ford dealership. 7100 later, new oil pan gasket, seals in front and back of motor (crankshaft?) New reman tranny w/3yr unlimited miles warranty. All new AC. New injector sensor and harness. All oil pressure and fuel pressure cheked and good. Ive since got it back and its good. Also all new rotors, pads and front steel piston calipers done. Im hoping to pull my 5th wheel for years to come with no issues. Dealership was having hard time with power but new injector harness and sensor fixed the power concern. Thx!
What brand gauges do you have in your truck? They look pretty nice and easy to read at a glance.
I’m about to do turbo pedestal seals, ebp delete, 3” dp, hpop lines. I’ve got the hated k&n with a 3” straight pipe, otherwise stock. I’ll upload a video of my $800 obs
I’m about buy a1990 f450 7.3l powerstroke 5speed would these mods make it have whole lot more power I think might be idi
If it’s a 90 it’s definitely an idi and it’s a completely different engine so a lot of the stuff I said doesn’t apply. But it’s pretty much just like any other engine more fuel more air more power haha
@@blowingdiesel Ight cool I’m new to diesels don’t know alot trying learn some new things about them
They are great trucks to learn they are super easy to work on
What part of Arizona are you from?
928 OBS yessssir! I’m from wickenburg we have 928 as our area code also lol
I’m hoodstacking my 7.3. Any tips/ideas?
Cut a whole in the hood
Don’t, lol
I got a 2000 F250 and a dumb question ...... what does OBS stand for?
Old body style
Old but sexy
Only things I did was a 4in turbo back exhaust and a cold air intake. No tune, no turbo upgrades, no nothing. My EGTs went down, my MPG went up about 1.5-2, and it feels faster down low for sure. That's all these trucks need. I've seen too many tuners ruin these trucks. They last forever for a reason.
So can theses put 85mph?
Yes
928obs? Are from Mohave county lol
Nop Yavapai
❤
How many miles per gallon?
Last I checked it was getting about 18
Bro you should put toe mirror on your truck
I have a question. I want to get more into trucks and I want a manual 7.3. I’ve seen some that are 5 speed and some that are 5 but have an extra thing labeled “L” (low) on the shifter. What is that for and what does that mean for the truck?
Wait are you out of Flagstaff?
Oh hell yeah man, the 928 area code was hinting tward that.. I just ran by this channel and I gotta say I love what you're doin.. stay safe in the snow!
What chip do you have?
I GOT THE EDGE THAT PLUGS INTO THE OBD PORT ALSO WORKS ON LOTS OF OTHER TRUCKS
@@theadventuresofchris1409 thanks Chris! Very nice truck.
My name is mason jay bacorn I have the same truck with a 1ft lift kit and ming is a auto matic with the same thing on the door
Haha nice man!
