This Hass to be one of the best how to do videos I’ve seen
Minimized all the extra talking that we did not need to hear
You showed very closely what exactly you were talking about and what you did , very very well done, sir.
I need to replace my downpipe and wanted to watch things came off and we’re put back on this video was perfect.
Thank you very much for putting this video on and I will probably watch it again when I replace my turbo .
My hats off to you, sir
Thanks! I really tried to make this video as useful as possible. Good luck on your project.
Dude I got lucky putting on the back clamp. I got back clamp on 30 minutes. Thanks to your video. Now my body is hurting laying on top of the motor. 😆
Yeah it’s terribly uncomfortable laying on all those motor components. It’s great to hear that you had some good luck with the clamp!
You better be nice to her or she won't help you work on your truck any more! Great video!
You are very right. She definitely saved the day on this job. Thanks for watching!
Awesome vid. High quality too but that fuel filter sure was stubborn tho ;-)
Heath Mcallister thanks! Thank for watching
Great vid man. Good job!
Thank you!
It’s the oil filter change for me
Just finished one-I found out the easiest way-really the only way I could get the turbo on was to take the up pipes off and mount the exhaust bracket to the turbo on then place it on the truck- up pipes needed new gaskets anyway and it made it a hell of a lot easier-but you need to remove the downpipe for easier access
That sounds like some work! I am lucky I didn't have to take the up pipes off.
I made a platform to lay across. With the alternator removed and the bolts reinstalled, it acted as a stand. Used 2 football bleacher cushions cut in two to balance the wood I placed above it. I then used the last half of the cushion as a chest cushion. To get the v clamp on, I didn't mess with it for more than 15 min before realizing it wasn't going to go on. Ford and their infamous wisdom used the shortest bolt possible on the clamp. Preventing you to get the nut on. I went out and found a longer bolt and used a hard wheel of a grinder, and shaped the head to match the original. It took me 5 minutes to put it on, and I had the truck put together in 3 hours there after. Get a grade 8 bolt with full threads that's an inch longer. I didn't have a fully threaded bolt, so I had to dye mine. I actually ran to bolt length problems on most of the clamps. But I was able to make due as they're very accesible, unlike the one on the back. Hope this helps.
I was about to say got any lube to slide turbo in place. Now that was sweet you got help. Hope you put some Greece on orings bottom of pedestal might move and then you half to pull it again. I'm going to half to do this I'm terrified because i have arthritis and it sux to do mechanical jobs. Like the way you did the fuel filter. Ok now come do mine ha ha.
The grease on the o rings is a great idea. Thanks! It’s a tough job especially for someone that has arthritis. Just set aside a day or two and take your time and it will work out.
If you lube the fuel filter gasket you can get it off like normal
What kind of lube? Any kind? Thanks for the tip.
Not going to lie . My ass would have dropped the wastegate little c clip and I would have been so pissed off the rest of the day looking for it
Tie a long string or dental floss and when ya drop it ya can retrieve it 👍
Impact bad.
Torque wrench good.
Is that turbo from stigan? Great video btw. I like to poke a hole in my oil filter w a screw driver to let it drain before i pull it off.
Thank you for that tip! I will try that. The turbo is from Garrett. The same brand that was on the truck from the factory
Ale yeah
Hahahaha 😂 ha 😅 I have done that changing the oil on mine...yours just seemed more hysterical 😂😅😂
Yeah that’s a son of a gun for sure! Gets me every now and then. Thanks for watching!
trick for the oil filter punch a hole in the bottom let it drain
Thanks for the tip!
Is that the whole kit that cost $2200? For the upgraded turbo?
This is an original oem Garrett turbo charger. There is a link in the description. I just checked and it’s 1075 dollars right now. I highly recommend it, it is still working great and that truck works with a trailer behind it nearly 6 days a week.
@@JustinBiddix thanks I am looking to upgrade my 2002 7.3 but I don’t know if I only need to upgrade just the turbo or do I need to buy anything else?
@@nosu376 I’m not really an expert on upgrades. But I would probably go with some type of kit. Sorry, not really much help. I’ve never really upgraded anything on a diesel truck. I do have a tuner on my 5.9 Cummins and a stronger clutch. That tuner makes a huge difference.
@@JustinBiddix thank you anyway for replies
vband clamps are the worst. especially the exhaust one.
heck yes they are!
Nice install man! Them ford give no room when dealing with the turbski..
Thanks man! yeah pretty tight in there
