Haha it takes a long time to wear out a shift fork like that but I’m more concerned with the clutch he slips it way way way too much gonna burn it out quick
While this is true, if you barely have your hand on it, its really not doing much. Plus most shift forks were coated from the factory in a thin fibrous film, a practice done for over 70 years, it absorbs most light force on the shifter such as your hand and also makes the shifter quieter. You have to be putting some reasonable force on the shifter to do any material damage.
Beautiful truck dude, I always find it funny that most of the guys who own these old 7.3 are young guys 20-30 years old lol I’m 22 and I own a 2000 f250 with a 7.3, wouldn’t trade it for a new truck if you paid me haha
I'm 24 I bought my 91 f250 7.3 idi 2wd 5 speed not running in January for$850.00 including delivery. Put a new injection pump on and it fired up runs and drives good. I'm waiting now on my steering column to be rebuilt and sent back to me then only thing left is wheels and tires and it'll be street legal.
@jeremy pollitt It's an 7.3 idi you dummy. There was no Powerstrokes in 1994. 1994.5 is the last year of production of the IDI and they came with a banks turbo.
Man I can’t like this comment enough haha, I whooped out loud when I GM read it! It’s hard enough watching these guys drive five speed trucks on YT, just imagine trying to watch them behind an old four speed bulldog trans🤣. Also idk why he is even using the throttle at all when taking off, especially taking off in first. And don’t even get me started on his down shifting, revving the engine without even double clutching haha, I always laugh when people do this. And did you notice that his 4th gear synchro is already bad? He beats the hell out of the other gears but babies 4th almost every time

As soon as I started the video and seen he shifted in first I was confused. All my powerstrokes it’s impossible to drive in first lol

That thing studded?
Not yet, factory head bolts I believe. 195k miles, it is a factory turbo motor though which handles boost much better than a N/A idi.
@BrickyBoi it’s an idi. With enough boost and no studs they are known to blow head gaskets. This isn’t a powerstroke
is every obs driver too poor to get their stuff aligned so they dont have to hold their wheel cocked..
What year is it and what engine it sound like a 7.3 but I don’t know what year tho
Its like 92 to97 body
