What should we do with the CAT? Forklift or Manlift? We’re almost 2000 away from 500k and an epic video to go along with that milestone. Let's do it! Who wants to see us resurrect the Cummins powered flamethrower? 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah damned Peg has my 12 year old boy sayin Cosby in a Can....now his Papaw and Great Uncle's saying it now😂 guess it's better than calling it "Vape n Date"
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Peg would have done a quick air box delete, given it enough cosby to cheech and how could you not use a perfectly good Dumptima battree? Lol
I love how he checked the oil after he tried to start the Cat. It's a bit like asking your new lady if she's married after her husband shows up with a shotgun but still funny.
These 7.3s if they are healthy will start just fine above 35 degrees without them. I used to have an old 95 down here in Texas, & just turned em off & had em on a switch so I can use them once a year when it got cold below 40-35 degrees. She would always start right up & run like a clock. I’ve got a 93 idi rn & I miss the iconic sound & instant start up. I had done a straight pipe & a ton of tuneup stuff on her & even with head gasket issues & injector issues she still ran like a clock no blow by at all. I’d get another PSD for a work truck or as a 2nd truck & have my idi as my backup/oil burner.
I’ve had the same ether experience with an old worn out 7.3 with some dead holes. Funny how it doesn’t hardly help a HEUI, but IDIs love it. Working glow plugs and cranking speed become very essential
I had a 95 7.3 PSD as my first truck. The one I had was an X-Lawn care truck & it sat in a field for 3yrs. $250 later she was mine. Towed her home, threw a set of good batteries in her, & she frigin started right up & idled instantly. She had a fuel leak, so we fixed that & a few other things. Driver her for a year then had head gasket issues & injector issues. During that time I did a straight pipe, 3.55 rear axle swap to make her better for the HWY & that’s about it. No tuning at all, & didn’t want too.
It all depends on the overall condition of the engine and components. My 96 was parked for over two years, but was in decent shape as far as starter, glow plugs and injectors. Two fresh batteries (not the half dead shit like Rich has laying around the shop) and it fired up on the first crank.
When you were cranking that engine it had a couple cylinders with low compression. You could here the cranking speed up and slow down on a regular interval.
Of course that ol 7.3 will run. These 7.3s are great. I used to have one & love the sound. I traded my 95 for a 93 idi & id like to get another 95 after hearing that redline after that 7.3 started up.
Eh, I'm a mechanic and people give me running cars all the time. You become known as the guy that will get that piece of junk out of their yard. Some of them are decent enough to turn around and sell with minimal work, most of them get stripped and scrapped.
We have a ‘99 F550 bucket truck, yea, if that engine is cold, we have to put one, sometimes two running vehicles on it just to keep the batteries charged while cranking it, and with starter fluid. Once it starts it has to sit there and idle for about 15/20 minutes before you can drive it. If the block heater was plugged in then it starts right up and runs well right away.
Doesn’t have to be a fan of the motor, but it’s agreed that the 7.3L is a stout diesel motor in terms of reliability. It’s even been stated by many that it is one of the best diesel engines to be ever equipped in a heavy duty truck or van, even buses and box trucks. International (at the time) sure knew what they were doing and it is one of my favorites in terms of diesel motors.
@Patrick Baptist I agree. The only Maxxforce engine that’s decent is the DT. I drive a bus that has a VT365, but I told myself that as soon as I was able to purchase one, take out the 365 and drop in a T444E engine. I’ve seen some run forever, and the traits the 7.3L has are second to none. Ability of running dirty fuel, even biodiesel with little to no modifications is one of the traits. Brute mechanical simplicity is another trait, thanks to the 6 head bolts per cylinder and the fixed geometry turbo. Indeed dollar per mile, the engine is the cheapest and the best engine in the IH lineup. (Nice job on the project so far 👍. Might even video log my swap if I could get a bus cheap and an engine cheap.)
Those 7.3 engines do start alot easier when being turned over fast, as for ether, a safer way to do it is to disconnect the glow plug relay then spray into the the y pipe that goes directly to the engine. Just saying for future reference
99.5 to early 2001 was good 2002 started powered connecting and will start to brake rod after 500hp. what a deal nice little engine. and i do hope ya took the air compressor out and kept it to would give ya all the air ya need in a shop.
That Truck looks like a good candidate for a hot shot rig. Scrap the box, put a Cummins or Cat in it, plus a sleeper on the back and go to work. The money from scrapping the box, can help offset the cost of a rebuild or swap.
Try to start the engine, *then* check the oil? Kinda like the Far Side cartoon where two are making breakfast and one days “Wait, first add cereal, *then* milk!” Enjoy your show. In my misspent youth, I spent a lot of time working with those 71-series two-strokes. (If the Aerosmith band members had ever worked on a Gymmy that song would have been called “Scream on.”) 😉
Another video from you that RUclips has decided it shouldn't show me. Great. I was thinking man lift, like a dexterous, small bucket style, then I realized that an overpowered forklift would be really useful and fun.
Cannot believe that Powersmoke actually started and ran on all 8 cylinders! When you first started cranking on it, it only sounded like it had compression on 2 or 3 cylinders at best.😮
For the ladder, pull the tabs at the bottom, it will drop. Also don't get on it unless you start from the bottom opening the rungs upwards otherwise it will collapse.. I speak from experience lol
@@daviddelambert2752 I’ll be the first to say I don’t know that awful much about engines and I’m learning as I go- but I thought there were some differences between engines used for stationary things and engines in vehicles. Nothing that couldn’t be solved with some other parts or workarounds, it would just be a matter of money and finding those workarounds. Though I imagine, putting this engine in a small industrial vehicle would be easier than a pickup or something, since with a pickup you’d have to figure out some kind of adapter to connect the engine to the transmission, when they probably already make adapters for the little industrial vehicles. Anything is possible with enough time, money, and effort. It’s just a matter of, “is it worth it in this particular instance?”
You should probably know those knuckle boom little cherry pickers are real Handy they got multiple bends up and over things and if it has an extension on the basket really helpful you can go up and over racks do work on the other side of them used to use them put in retro fitting earthquake upgrade
Oh, sorry about that Nerf dart. They get everywhere. Happens every time my nephews come over. You can mail it back to me care of Ashton Post Office, South Australia.
If you can't fit it in old faithful, or don't wanna bother with the UpRight, store it. You never know when something falls in your lap, and that engine's worth the space it takes.
It more than likely bent an exhaust pushrod "thumping/popping" out the intake when it the either explosion happened. 7.3 cams and lifters last forever and have almost 0 failures but rockers break pushrods bend and rocket pedestals will break off aswell.
If it wasn’t in Canada, I’d buy that cat. Been wanting a 3054 for my truck. Weighs less, not as tall, not as long, and stock can be just as powerful as a 4bt. If I recall the 3054 and 3056 are just descendants of the old 4.236 and 6.354 Perkins, just modernized and painted yellow.
That is correct. They are 4.236. The problem you will run into it is bell housing and flywheel for automotive. You can buy anything for a 4BT to fit Ford Chevy or dodge. For the Perkins you are looking at making it all fit yourself.
Dam I thought I was lucky when I scored two free 1990/93 GMC Sierras that both tan and drove with titles Rich out here getting F550s with 7.3s and On board CATs lucky

Give that junky bitch a sniff
Sounds like the 7.3 has lost compression completely in one of the cylinders from the sound of it trying to start
Injector tappets are probably wore out. FRESH batteries and an updated starter. These videos are fun. 😀
Well 7.3 like to turn over fast to start. That and they just live good glow plugs. Good video

What was that inside the "closet"?
When you were cranking that engine it had a couple cylinders with low compression. You could here the cranking speed up and slow down on a regular interval.
Same thought I had.. First crank and you could hear the dead holes. I probably would've given up on starting right there.

You would be sweeping up the crank off the ground if you tried that with a 6.0 power stroke
You do realize that the rotating assembly in a 6.0 is stronger than a 7.3 right?
I have seen a few times that the powerstrokes need some PB blaster down the intake and it'll help the rings and valves seal up enough to fire.
What that needs is actual good batteries. It’s a bigass engine and it needs rpm speed as it uses high pressure oil to fire. Minimum psi - 500 psi
