Nice 7.3! Its nice to see a video of somebody actually using their truck for work, and not just blowing smoke or chipping it so it goes fast in a straight line. It towed great and you didn't even have tow mirrors that stuck out 4 feet from the cab, haha!
Nice to see someone keeping the damn thing within their lane. I've seen too many guys on a no wind day who can't keep their truck and trailer within their own lane and damn near run me off the road.
I have a 96. The 2 best mods for the money on these trucks is replace that flattened down pipe from the turbo and a K&N filter in place of the stock paper. The filter is a no brainier, the pipe would take a little more of your time but if you can change the oil, you can do it. Both pieces will be about $175 total and worth the effort. You want a tuner, get a Pyrometer on it first. These trucks last and last.
hmmm, i towed just a 6k trailer and car and i was getting over 1100 degrees just hardly pushing on the pedal going up hill. i have a intake straight pipe turbo and injectors. I really need to put in a intercooler haha
i tell you what man i picked up hey for this one man that had a 2011 turbo charged powerstroke with a H&S racing chip and tuner in it we had 50 bails on the flat bed and another 150 on a trailer and we was going up hills doing 60 in 2nd gear with only 20% throttle ... that son of a bitch did not mess around hahaha sounded like it had a damn jet turbine for an engine
have two of these on fleet once they hit third and that trans locks 3rd. DONE power fails on mine only towing 12300. gears up and does that then locks in 3rd . usless there for sale now. LOVE the sound of 7.3 tho i will miss that.
It's nice to actually see a diesel on youtube actually doing what it was made for (working) instead of just blowing smoke. Great video!

I can’t wait to get my 97 Ford F-250 7.3 this week 😍
How's the truck running?

Impressive power there adam it takes diesel to have that kinda torke!!
I wouldn't have it in overdrive, the E40D trans in that truck doesn't like heat or towing in O/D
+Bailey Degregorio i wouldnt tow that much weight in OD no matter what the transmission was

chapmanmerchant maybe re-gear in the diff to a higher rate would help.
That's what the 7.3 was designed to do. "Rolling Coal" is fine but hauling 16k behind you has to be rewarding.
How far did you go in that trip
what did your egt;s get up to?
Got the same truck as you can see in my profile pic but I got the 5 speed manual,410 rear end.
I'm looking at a 97 7.3 4x4 ext cab auto for around 3k :)
A stray trailer was followed him home that day...
What exhaust are you running?
Just a regular old straight pipe from the turbo all the way back.
fuel economy? 13? 15?
About 10 with this trailer. If I drove it right, I could pull about 20 MPG at 60 MPH unloaded. I was quite impressed.
***** 20 mpg 😮 quit impressive for A big boy motor 😉. Im loven this powerstroke 7.3 im thinking about geting this as my first diesel truck
+David Borisyuk you cant go wrong
David Borisyuk buy one, I absolutely hate Ford's but you can't beat a 7.3 those things are damn near indestructible
yeah those 2011 F-550's are 18 wheeler's in a pickup truck body i tell ya what
My uncle has a f-550 with the 7.3l with 73k......
You should make it roll coal.
Rolling coal kills your pump and will raise your egt levels and begin to burn your turbo from the inside out. Its just a kid thing
LarietFord exactly, only immature idiots do that.
