Thanks for all these videos, man! I bought my first diesel truck recently which is 2001 7.3 powerstroke, and I'm learning about it as much as I can. These videos are a big help to me. I'm installing similar items on my truck, thats how I stumbled upon your videos. And I'm glad I did. Thank you again. And God bless you!
I’m right there with your. Just picked up an 02 7.3 and planing on a 4” MBRP exhaust and S&B cold air intake to help with towing our RV in the mountains of Montana and Wyoming. Safe travels!
I did the 6637 fliter and you honestly made me back to my stage 3 volant intake setup thanks man
Thank you for doing this video! I've always wondered what the differences would be. I have a 2000 7.3 same color and all as yours and I love what you have done with yours!
Much appreciated! Glad you found the video useful!
I appreciate all the work you do. Help's keep me motivated
👍🏻 Great job Joe 👏🏻👏🏻 glad you take notice of your subscribers
Channel is nothing without the subscribers!
Great video! Thanks for the thorough test!!
Thanks for your Quality of Video's and your Research on your experience with the products and issues.
Thank you for watching them.
Great content man! Keep it up!
Thanks for the video, exactly what I wanted to know, thinking about getting a sb filter in the near future!
Thanks for this work!! Best info I’ve seen, start to finish…I’m not even doing a diesel, but this is applicable regardless…I will subscribe…
A lot of good info, thanks for your time young man
Thanks for giving your time to watch it.
@@LivingOnWheels Hey are you Kody's brother ?
Congrats on both 3k and now almost 4K
Thanks! Almost there! 👌🏻
My stock air intake housing is cracked and needs replaced.... the S&B filter system seems awesome upgrade. This video plus comments regarding towing have sold me on this system for my 99 f250 7.3...
Texas heat is brutal!!
Excellent video. Makes feel warm and fuzzy that I didn't waste my money.
I know the feeling haha
Same!
I went with the Banks Cold Air Intake and everything else was pretty much stock. It made a noticeable difference in my 7.3 but I wondered what the temps were. Love the video and it shows it does lower the air temp. I’ve been watching your videos and looking at what else I can do; the GPR upgrade to the White Rodgers was a night and day difference! Thank you for all the videos!
What kind of noticeable difference did it make? The only value I can see in it is if it saved you enough gas (the proof it was actually effecting something positively) or ran cooler when towing, decreasing wear and tear on the engine. Thanks!
@@Bwanar1 my boost pressure went from 12 to 16psi and you could feel a noticeable difference in acceleration. Later in the spring I upgraded my up pipes to SS bellowed, new boots & clamps, AIH delete, EBP delete with new pedestal, new stage 1 turbo, new 4” turbo back SS exhaust, new braided fuel lines, new HPOP lines, and new Mishimoto transmission cooler. After all this I have no oil leaks, it runs significantly cooler, my boost is around 22-24psi, and I get between 16-20mpg.
I just ordered the banks intake for my 01 F350 work truck, excited to see if I get any seat of the pants difference.
Just ordered mine because of this video. I'm actually excited to install it now that I'm done doing the exhast manifolds and up-pipes which was a major PITA! Only thing I haven't decided is if I'm going to drill the hole for the filter minder
Glad you found it helpful!
Great test man, I gotta get one
another great video keep up the good work
When I bought my Excursion the factory intake had a big chunk broken out of it. The S&B was one of the first things I did, I went with the dry filter and pre-filter though
Bro I don’t even have a 7.3 but I’m loving the videos!
Thanks for taking the time to do these video's, always a great job. Do yourself a favor and install a remote start. I have an 02 7.3 and have a 13 second delay start to let the glow plugs warm up before start. So nice getting into a warm truck on those chilly mornings.
What kind of remote start you have?
@@pwrstrkrf250 It says Avital on the remote fob. I think it's the Avital 5305L 2-Way LCD Remote Start with Security. Under $100 on Amazon
@@charliemich8037 thanks brother
I have been looking into getting one pretty heavily. It would definitely be nice to have. My biggest fear is the installer leaving a rats nest of wires under the dash.
@@LivingOnWheels your wiring looks really clean. It's amazing what these youngsters can do these days
Awesome video,thanks again
Thank you for doing this I wanted to know. You the man.
That truck looks unbreakable, Wow!!!
Great video. Thank you so much man. 👍✌️
Thanks for the video:)
Good test.
The effect of the cold air intake will be even more dramatic when towing and the engine is working hard and putting a lot more heat under the hood. It will also help keep the EGTs lower, which is always good.
My truck will struggle with a stock filter at 6psi. I am good up to 36 psi with my cold air. Towing is a diffrent beast with it. Every day I have 6,000 lbs behind it. MUCH Less smoke. Much more power. You are 100%right
I went from stock to AFE to Ford AIS. Considering that I live on a ranch in the mountains, I would not run anything else. There is so much dust and mud that get everywhere. That open element looks scary to me. Probably just fine for the city. Love this Chanel.
AFE stage 2 sealed intake (momentum HD kit) is also a great option in my mind. I use it around our little 7 acre farm and love it.
Nice!!! Didnt realize that the heat shield worked that well!!! I have a 6637 filter inside of a stage 2 AFE intake with the heat shield...
Honestly I did not either and I said so on camera haha. Had to eat my own words on this one. S&B made a much bigger difference than I expected.
@@LivingOnWheels enjoyed your video...
I have a 97 7.3 obs , just got rid of the factory intake cold air went to the Donaldson 6637 open element...
Do they make a set up for my truck and does the filter element come with the kit or can o use my 6637 ?? Thanks
I got the Air Raid cold air box that works well; I really noticed a performance difference when I was in Phoenix... it was a lovely 122 degrees!
Thats just too damn hot haha
@@LivingOnWheels Tell me about it... I live north of ABQ, NM and a hot day is barely 95 :) and with only 7 inches of rain a yr. we have 340+ days of sun shine... Rarely seen in Portland, Or. :) But really love Portland! And Jubitz Truckstop and the Ponderosa next door, best steaks on the Left Coast!
Good video !
Good data collection
around 20 degrees. not a big deal on intercooled 7.3s, but obs 7.3s the intake air temperature makes a good bit of difference because there is no intercooler. this will help egts stay down a lot. i have an afe cold air intake on my 97 7.3. while driving 75 to 80 at about 90 degrees outside my egts sit at 1000. when it gets colder at night to about 70 degrees or so my egts drops to about 800 around 75 to 80 mph. This plays a huge part in Fuel mileage as colder air is denser leading to a more efficient burning of diesel fuel. Great video you put together on the before and after. ive ran them both and both ran well. i think the only trucks you'll see a difference in mileage and egts will be the older 7.3s with no intercooler. Never the less, great video!
In Flying.. when you are doing a pre take off run up..you generally see a instant 75 rpm+ drop, upon applying the carburetor heat system. So the intake temperature does make a difference.
Hi there another great video i think anything or upgrades done to truck is an improvement over factory
Great informative video!! 🖒😉💪
Thank you!
Nice video..... add a 203 degree thermostat , billet housing and coolant filtration system next.
Hey man, I really enjoy your videos - please keep them coming. I can see you have a Blue Sea Systems fuse box next to your air intake. Could you post a video of how you made that? My setup has fuses all over the place and I am looking for a good idea for a setup like yours. Thanks again. Keep the videos coming please.
studio.th-cam.com/users/videoJOxkqaJuqsI/edit
Love the video I want to do some mods to my 99 7.3 350 but all I have done was swop the auto for a 6speed and changed the glow plug relay witch I see you did as well but I didn't see a video on it was that done on your truck b4 you got it
6 speed swap is no minor job. Nice job! I did do the glow plug relay myself it was just done before I started this youtube channel.
That's the heavy duty relay after putting it in my 350 work truck I wish I had done it in my 250 as well but I just put a stock Dormen in the 250 love the video's keep up the good work
I have the S&B on my 99 f250 7.3 I like it
Im pretty darn happy with mine as well
Awesome!!!
Wow. This matters a lot for people like me driving an obs w no aftermarket intercooler. At least getting the same air it is outside
I had the 6637 setup like you and switched back to stock, the stock intake at around 75mph is only a 2 degree difference from ambient, great video tho!
I’d like to see dyno numbers to compare colder (denser) air to the possibly higher volume of air. Basically does it matter if it’s cooler if you can theoretically suck more in?
I know my truck definitely runs better when it cold outside. You got me thinking now. I have the 6637 on my 97.
Thankyou
You should do the zoodad mod as well. I cut off a piece of my stock intake tube and ran it through the core support and flows directly into the s&b inlet. I have been meaning to upload the video. It looks pretty nice and it is going suck in air directly from outside the grill. I can send pics and video if you are interested. It is a simple mod to do.
Ok I published it. I apologize for the horrible production value. th-cam.com/video/ejO98fQaujA/w-d-xo.html
I appreciate the video (quality really wasnt bad haha) I'll have to take a closer look at mine. For some reason I thought I saw that it seemed like it had a pretty strait shot into the intake but I could be wrong
I’m shocked how nice it started
Thanks for posting this video and the data you shared. I am curious if anyone can say that EGT's came down a measurable amount by going from a 6637 to this CAI. It would make sense that if the intake air is much cooler than the underhood air temperature the intake air is starting at a cooler base point allowing for even more dense air to hit the cylinders providing better and cleaner combustion thus resulting in lower EGT's but that's theory.. really interested to see real world difference?
I went with the S&B After having the 6637 for years.
The problem I started having was that I couldn't get the hose clamp to keep the 6637 on the pipe any longer for some reason. It seemed like the tighter I tightened it, The more it wanted to just pop off. I didn't like that. So in the meantime I used drainage pipe tape ( Like large extra wide electrical tape) to ensure a good seal. But obviously that was a very hooptie set up. That is why I had to go with the S&B.
I did not want to risk getting dirty air sucked into my engine. I think the results are worth it also.
I ran into the same issue with the last 6637 I installed. It seems that the rubber flange isn’t flat enough to keep the hose clamp on. No doubt S&B makes a good product though!
It’s time for you to get another 7.3!
If I had money just laying around I would in a heartbeat but I don’t. TH-cam sure as hell doesn’t pay enough to just buy another truck whenever I feel like it.
Got one you want to donate to the channel?
If you are still looking to clean up the post install wiring issue, could you find, make/3D print, or carbon fiber layup a cover for the current location. Your install looks very good to me now but a cover might provide a little cleaner look. Perhaps use the existing fasteners on the Plexiglas cover to also secure this electrical cover.
I have actuall thought about doing something just like that. Creating some sort of decorative cover for the wiring. Still want to clean and tame it up a little but I will probably make a cover for it as well.
Just about to buy this kit
I think I can feel justified in recommending it now. It looks really clean without the extra wiring that I have.
@@LivingOnWheels Where did you get it from and do they make one for my 97 obs 7.3?? Enjoy all your videos....learn a lot from them. Thanks
@@brucebell7623 I appreciate it. S&B does of a kit for the OBS trucks.
www.riffraffdiesel.com/s-b-obs-powerstroke-cold-air-intake-kit-94-97/
I would like to see an intake temp sensor added after the intercooler to see how much of a difference there was. Depending on how good the intercooler is on these trucks, I suspect the difference was not as significant.
That would definitely be interesting to see!
Great videos, greatly appreciated and inspiring. Have you seen the ZooDad mod? Simple mod that I believe would greatly help this intake. Thanks for all your work and videos.
I have seen it. I’m sure it might help some.
Thank you great video I also have a 2000 7.3 aloha .
It’s important to remember the truck isn’t warmed up just because your IAT ICT are up to nominal temps. Your oil temp is what matters especially on a turbocharged motor.
I plan to get a exhaust temp / oil temp / manifold pressure (for boost ) . So many issues can be diagnosed (and avoided ) by knowing these values in real time.
Correct. I have all those. I would also add that fuel pressure is extremely handy.
I have a trans temp gauge and a EGT gauge
I'm interested whether or not there is any tangible benefit from installing a cold air intake versus using just an open 6637. The benefits of the 6637 over the factory cold air intake on my early 99 is very obvious. The test that you did is flawed because you should have been looking at ambient air temp, post intercooler air temp, EGT's and performed under a load. These trucks were not designed as daily drivers, they are working trucks and are engineered to pull heavy loads in adverse conditions. I use my truck hauling freight which means I pull a trailer weighing up to 16,000 lbs. There's a big difference when you're pulling heavy with high boost for long periods of time. Now for the other half of the story...I am subject to DOT inspections at any weigh station as well as along the road. When the inspector tells me that he cannot check my power steering level because the cold air intake is in the way, I will be forced to disassemble the intake or potentially be placed out of service. And checking the power steering fluid is part of the pre and post trip inspections that have to be done daily. On my 6637 setup, I added a hole to the 4" tube post filter to measure the temp entering the turbo...really simple. Yes, it reads about 20 degrees higher than the factory temp but the benefits of the extra air combined with the 4" turbo back exhaust resulted in far lower EGT's and 1 - 1.5 MPG gain over stock while hauling loads. Lowering the EGT's means I don't have to lift off the throttle while climbing long grades under a load.
I have a 2000 F350 with the s&b filter. Although it does place the stupid dirty filter check bulb thingy (super technical term) I can still get my power steering dipstick out with a little wiggling.
I put on the Air Raid Air box on after taking the old box off there is a funnel that goes to the front of your grill to push cooler air to the filter, plus you need to change your exhaust system from factory 3.5 inches to atleast a 4inch or 5 inch, they say more air you bring your engine you have to change the exhaust to get the air out I did just that and performance is great where are you in Oregon
Yes the S&B has routing from the front grill and my exhaust is already a 4” all the way back. 👍🏻
Great job. Looking at gauge pillar or that edge that you have, where does the edge get its egt? Doses it plug into the can plug?
The edge plugs into the OBD 2 port and reads the factory sensors. To get fuel psi and egts you’ll have to add your own sensors to it.
Have you added a new waste gate, or turbo/wheel, I bet this style cold air with other upgrades would be very noticeable?
At the time of this video no, but I have a completely new upgrade KC300x turbo in the truck now. Seems to run very good.
S&B is the way to got unfortunately I have seen the consequences of running a ford extreme duty on a 7.3. I had a s&b in my dodge for preformance reasons. My dad has s&b on his 6.0 I have had zero complaints and I recommend it any day!
With just the short time I've been running it I am pretty darn happy with it. Like I said, I think it is a little overpriced for the product you get but is still the best value on the market.
Wait so is the Ford extreme duty not a good option? Cause I was thinking of going with that one
L.O.W. Installed my S&B a couple of weeks ago and appreciate going back to cooler outside air again but. With the S&B and the kc turbo installed I have a noise that I wonder if u r getting? This may be normal but was enhanced with the S&B. Between shifts (automatic) at a medium pull I get a heck of an air rush noise, if I keep my foot steady I can keep the noise fairly constant but I can let off or step into it and it will go away. I don't believe it to be boost leak, I have ck it over several times plus it will go away with more throttle. I think going from the open riffraff filter mod to an enclosed plastic housing is what enhanced this. Also is a boost fouler necessary?
Hmmm. Its hard to say without hearing it myself. I can say that when I installed my S&B I could definitely hear my turbo more than with my 6637. To me it kind of sounds like you're just hearing how much air the truck is actually sucking in. Under light throttle its not enough to really hear and under heavy throttle everything else is so loud that you cant hear it. That would be my best guess without hearing it myself.
As for the boost fooler I would say if you are under 25 psi it is not necessary. If you are over 25 psi you can either run the fooler or have your tuner tune it out.
I wish you could have done a video of the original oem setup to see the difference in all 3
Yeah, so did I unfortunately that setup was gone a long time ago
@@LivingOnWheels that's what I figured. Happened before you got to be a TH-cam star :)
I noticed you use a key to unlock your truck. Would you do a video on installing a remote to your door locks please. Thank you for the intake video. I’ve been interested in talking out the K&N box filter that came with my 2000 F250 manual tranny for the model you just installed. Also one more question please, since I have a manual tranny, would I benefit in installing a tuner like the one you have. Thanks for your videos.
Unfortunately since my truck did not come with remote locks it makes the install a bit more tricky. Not sure what my plans are for that yet. As for the tuner, yes you would definitely still see a large performance increase with a tuner. basically the same power improvements without the trans tuning.
What does the gage on your dashboard do? Looks like it displays engine data. Where did you get it?
So your IAT was sitting between the air filter and the brake master cylinder with the filters installed during the test drives? Just making sure it wasn't taking a direct hit from the stock air inlet hole.
Yup, it was sitting right behind the filter by the master cylinder.
What kind of device is that giving you all the info?
What it the display module that gives you all the live engine parameters? Where did you get it, I live in Australia so we have very limited suppliers for American truck accessories. I use a Banks programmer and have the Auto Enginuity package for running diagnostics, but it is a pain to have a laptop running all the time.
The display I use is the Edge CTS2 Insight. Its a pretty awesome little unit for everything it is capable of doing. They also just came out with the CTS3 that looks like a nice improvement over the 2.

Well if the air goes through the turbo and is heated up your check would be coming out of the inner cooler to get a accurate air intake check just saying
Cold air intakes do work.. The look cool...It's the sticker in the box that you put on your truck that gives the extra 5 hp..
Just now watching your video. Great video.
Curious as I'm new to all this with my new F450 6.7l diesel. My primary objective wii be to improve fuel efficiency and mileage.
What does a cold air intake do to fuel economy and mpg?
Thanks for watching. In regards to mpg, you might see a slight increase but from my experience it will be pretty negligible if you do. The biggest thing is providing good or better airflow with good or better filtration. I personally have never seen any real substantial improvement on mpg from a CAI.
We now know air temps seem to be lower with a closed system. ..what is better, more CFM or lower temperatures? Im sure it depends on the setup/demand you have...lots of variables here.
I'm wondering how the essence be aftermarket cold air intake compares to the stock cold air intake. Obviously have a lot more filter area in the SUV and if you change your engine for more power you're gonna need that increase their capacity. How does it compare to stock.
I wish I would’ve thought about doing this test back when I had the stock setup. Unfortunately not.
So did it ever effect your mileage. Can see how 20-30 deg. is going to make a lot of difference when we're talking about 800+ in the Turbo. I know on a grander scale it makes a little difference, because they use dry ice in the race cars. Where over 150-200 deg. difference may help them a couple tenths of a second.
I didn’t see anything measurable gain. Just peace of mind
what's the difference between this special box and the OEM equipment?
Mainly just better flowing while maintaining good filtration.
Joe I have a 2001 7.3. It has the K&N cold air intake filter on it right now. I just ordered me a new cold air intake filter from S&B yesterday just like the one you put on your truck before I watched your video. So I was wondering do you still like yours and do you think that it’s still better than what you had before. My truck is a 250 two wheel drive and it gets 14-17 miles per gallon. What mod. Can I do something if any to bring the mileage up without much expense.
I definitely think the S&B is better than the K&N. K&Ns are know for dusting by peoples turbos from lack of filtration. As far is increasing mpg goes, I think you’re right around the range I would expect. Just things to stay on top of, make sure you’re fuel and air filters are clean and make sure your ebp tube/sensor are clean. Beyond that it’s mostly in your right foot.
I only payed 184.00 for my Air Raid cold air I got it through Gommers diesel in Missoula Montana, Are you the one in the wheelchair, I lost my right leg and foot so I have the Ghost wheel to run the accelerator which means your fingers run the accelerator and the response is fantastic I accelerate fast than using the pedal and there is a toggle that can be flipped if someone else wants to drive the truck and it goes back to the pedal, the system is made in Germany the cost was 4500 installed, but now I can drive my truck since I dont have a right foot and part of my leg below the knee, I have always braked with left foot so thats no problem
Yes I am in a wheelchair. I use hand controls for both fuel and brake
I need a fuse box cover . noticed that clear one you have any information on where to find one
That’s actually a completely separate aftermarket fuse box. Not the factory one. So I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for
What’s the monitor and program you’re using? That’s wicked!
That is the Edge cts2 Insight. It’s a great monitor/gauge setup. I’m running the cts3 now and it’s even better.
amzn.to/3Cmm13F
Did you ever checkout the summer figures
Could you tell if it made any real difference in the performance of the motor with the cold air intake ?
Nothing that I can tell at this point. Don't have too many miles on it yet. I can definitely hear the turbo more which I actually expected the opposite. Im going to be curious to see if I see a difference on my next fuel fill up.
I live in Alaska so it’s pretty chilly year around would my 2003 F250 with a 7.3 benefit from and S&B cold air intake?
Hard to say. I think you'd benefit in terms of good filtration. Would you notice a difference from cool are factors I would say probably not.
I will say...it looks pretty ! But, if there's no practical difference.....fuel mileage, power, ....then what's the point?
Damn, what were ALL those muscle cars with the air filter mounted on top of the carburetor sucking in? HOT F…ING AIR THATS WHAT AND THEY KICKED ASS!!
Hey! I have a 1999 7.3 looking to get the same cold air intake. Did you see a difference in MPG’s
I didn’t really see any measurable difference. Just peace of mind knowing it’s breathing well and getting good filtration.
So did you switch back or keep the cold airintake in
I kept the cold air intake
I'm going to ask an open question...What does the "cold air intake" really do for the truck with it having an intercooler? If you look, at 70MPH the EGTs are the same 580..Isn't that the point of argument when people who say one way works better than the other? I'm just trying to figure the justification of buying a $300 intake compared to the $60 6637 setup, sure the IAT is much cooler but other than that, what's the difference?
I think they main argument for "cold air intakes" is not to lower EGTS but it is to get cooler air going into the engine. The cooler the air, the more air you can compress into each compression cycle, the more air in each compression cycle the more effective and powerful combustion you get. Cooler air leads to more efficiency and more power for the same amount of fuel. Same reason drag racers put ice packs on their super chargers. Its all in attempts to lower the intake air temps to gain as much power as possible.
Can I say this setup is worth the $300. Not with personal dyno results I can't but I can say that it serves its purpose well of providing cooler air to the engine.
Living On Wheels the air goes into the intake manifold after it’s been through the intercooler though. I think the only real way to see if it really makes a difference is to put a temp probe post intercooler and take temps from there. I could be wrong though, just how I think of it logically.
Cody Nixdorf I totally get where you’re coming from and don’t necessarily think you’re wrong. I guess the way I see it is the intercooler will only cool the air down so much. So if you can provide cooler air going in then I would expect cooler air to come out. Obviously I can’t say that for sure though.
I would like to see your EGT at 75 mph on a up hill pull .
Most I’ve hit with cruise control on, pulling 10k-12k, going over a pass was around 1150. That was just letting the truck do what it needed to maintain speed.
Everyone has brainfarts but you still make it look easy. So cold air is working .
Magic of editing haha. It honestly wasn't a bad install.
Can you fit a 6632 filter on the s&b assembly? I'd rather change the filter rather than clean it.
Definitely not but S&B does have a disposable filter option
Thanks man, I might give it a shot. Or just get 2 filters so I don't have to wait for it to dry lol. Love your videos btw!
Which model cold air intake did you put on yours
Its and S&B intake
Do you still use the edge, if so, are you still happy with it
The cts2 on ford is still going strong. I have the edge cts3 now and it is great.
Have you noticed the same results during hotter days?
I have. Obviously hotter is hotter but the intake definitely helped keep intake temps down while driving.
Donaldson Blue!!!!
Doesnt help with the cooling factor much.
Hey man where did you order those mirrors
I got them on Amazon. The ones I bought aren’t sold anymore but there are others ones available I think
Another great video. So, it works. My question is...what's the big deal ?
Why is my truck better off sucking in cooler air....what's it's suppose to do
Cold air is denser, Hot air is thinner. Hot air will change your air/fuel mixture.
@@FlutersGarage I understand the theory...but in normal driving conditions, no discernable difference, or advantage can be detected by using this product.....other than personally "feeling" good about having it, or simply liking it.
I've used cold air intqke for years on my 2000 7.3, It does seem to acceralte better but I can't tell ay difference in romp or fuel savings.
I run an open turbo with a mesh guard lol
hahaha someones gotta live on the edge
Will you show EGTs before and after please..?
This video was posted a loooong time ago. So I do not have a before and after for EGTs.
@@LivingOnWheels O-K I understand. Next time you do a video like this could you include a full after action report on your videos please.
