@@DonutHole123 New diesels arent any more expensive to work on than a new gasser, ecoboost or 6.2 from ford or GM. Know what a head gasket job is on a new 6.2 GM truck cuz they keep popping and they dont know why? $7000 and 14 hours labor at GM dealer. I can do a full bulletproof on a 6.0 for 5000 including oil cooler in about 10-12 hours. 7.3s are cheaper than working on about any gas motor made in the last 10 years.
@@austinr09 That's why you stay away from the gas 6.2L from General Motors.The only great gas engines that G.M. ever made has to be the 305,350,400,and 454 including the 4.8L V6,5.3L,6.0L,and 8.1L V8's.The 250-290 I6 were very durable too.The Detroit 6.5L is a cheap and reliable,makes just as much fuel economy as a modern diesel truck,you'll save thousands on one in comparison to a Isuzu Duramax.
aky19832001 extremely high diesel prices in 04, and new pollution laws killed this breed off, good news is these beast run a pretty penny now! 23,600 if around 150,000 miles! The truck had 3 engines if I recall correctly, 99'-04' had the option of a triton v10, or 6.0L v8 turbo, 01'-03 had the 7.3L option and it's the rarest of the bunch! With only a few thousand made each year!
You know, watching this makes me remember my grandfathers 2003 Ford Excursion. It looked the same as yours except it was gold. I WISH he kept it. I loved driving it. It only had 80,000 miles! It was fully loaded, too.
Cycling the key does not re-cycle the glow plugs. The only thing you're doing is putting un-needed strain on the glow plug relay. Once the light goes off, the glow plugs are still getting power. Just leave the key in the on postion, and let it sit for a few seconds after the light goes on then fire it up. It'll start way better then cycling the key like you're doing. Watch the battery gauge it'll shoot back up like a rocket once the glow plugs turn off.
just a bagel correct there is a company in sant Lois Missouri that does that, keep in mind it is like 80k to convert a F-350 with the 6.7 into a excursion though...
Hey man just for future reference the wait to start light is on a 5 second timer. The glow plugs on these years are run off the pcm. The pcm senses oil and intake temperatures and runs the glow plugs accordingly
We were in Monument Valley, limited cell service, our 2002 7.3L diesel and it would not start, temperatures well below freezing. Now what, go back to the restaurant, another cup of coffee. Finally got it started, drove to Page Arizona to the Ford dealership. Glow Plug Module, we now carry a spare module.
In most parts of Australia, we rarely see below 10C/50F temperatures during the day. In the few areas that do get colder than that, the petrol stations usually sell 'alpine diesel' that has additives that help with cold starting. Is 'alpine diesel' a thing overseas? Or does all diesel already come with the additives?
iv got a 2001 e350 catue with 7.3 just rolled over to 500,000mi and got a 99 e350 with 5.4l goin on 400,000mi both on orig moter both 4sp needed rebuilds at 225,000mi grate vehicle's the 5.4 and 6.8 are great just not anything over 2003 exept the 4 valve ones (navigator) and cobra/SEELEN mustang ALSO GOT 71 ford e100 club wagon wit 302 wit 200,000 got it from orig owner wit 55000 dont know about fords new cars but im pleased with my vehicles from them all my famly has fords 2 mostly mustangs and always high miles lucky mabie maintenance mabie who knows
Holy shit,it kind of does sound like a 7.8L Multi-Fuel now that I think about one... I had a M35A2 and M185A3 myself,They were built to last,but mine were just very gutless and sluggish too.Eventually I came to selling them and now have a M813A1,M923A2,and M931A2,which actually have been problems free shockingly.I think it might be awhile before I consider getting another deuce.I'd want a MK23 and MK31 after being around them.
+iYung Trill Only things I know of are injectors glow plugs and UVCH's. I haven't had her terribly long. From what I'm told the block has never been cracked open so the internals should all be original.
I use Rotella T6 full synthetic oil, it start my 01 excursion with 7.3 on first cycle. T6 oil make less sputtering than the video and about 20 seconds it kicks on high idle like the video. I never plugged my 305k miles on the new ford block heater.
zebracherub I'm assuming he lives in Missouri, based on the other license plates seen. I was curious about this and I found that vehicles licensed to haul a lot of weight are exempt from needing a rear license plate.
on my 400,000mi 7.3l, I'll crank it with the ignition off to ware it'll turn over. but will not fire that way oil gets circulated befor it starts and when super cold i use a 8 inch by 8 inch heating pad that sticks onto the oil pan it was like $19.99 i think and it keeps my oil at 100 degrees so when i start it the engine its prelubed from turning it over for about 5 secounds with the ignition off and the oil can actually get tru the passages becouse its been warmed to 100 degrees f dont know if yall ever seen some oils when cold like below zero but i can tell you wallmart oil the 5w 30w has the consistency of taffy and deffenitly would not make it through any passages most likely wouldn't even be able to be picked up by the sump id say engine faiure quick, mobile1 oil actually stays pretty fluidity even at -40 but was noticeably more viscous then when at room temperature amsoil was next best for the cold then Royal Purple and then Walmart oil all of these were all 5w30 now all this test shows is not how good an oil is but what oil is best in cold conditions protection for varying temperatures so if you're going to go into a cold climate it probably be best to use Mobil 1 infact mobile1 has the broadest usible temperature use range vary safe cant go wrong with mobile1 in any temperature. in a mild temperate area you'd be fine with Walmart oil. Royal Purple is the best oil out of the bunch it provides 4 times the protection than even mobile1 dose but if you gena use royal purple in freezing climates then you deffenitly need a heating pad you could even use wallmart oil in freezing condotions but a heating pad would be a must you would 100% destroy your engine with wallmart oil and no heating pad where it's frezzing. amsoil was a little bit more viscous than mobile one but would probly be fine without a heating pad but likely needed a heating pad Amsoil could be used in a cold climate probly be ok without a pad would not be as good as mobile one. all of the oils are very viscous at 0 degrees besides the mobile one and the amsoil but even that was pretty viscous and I would not want to start my engine with that in there another example Italian sports cars tend to break in America's climate because the places where those cars are made have mild temperatures year round so their engines are designed with smaller oil passages tolerances so when moved 2 a colder climate and started in a cold climate the oil can not move through the passages fast enough and the engines end up being oil starved and self destruct that's why the saying goes always let your Italian cars warm up completely before you drive or get thinner oil but personally after looking at how thick all of them were i wouldn't even try to start my vehicles in 0 degree weather unless they wereg pluged in even with mobile1 wich was pretty good i live in albaquerque nm so i dont have to worry about that to much itle get down to 15 10 degrees but i always plug in when the temps drop i use royal purple full synthetic you cant beat it flat out best oil made your engine will ware out 400% slower then other oils moble1 full synthetic is #2 then amsoil full synthetic is #3 then last of course wallmart oil wich i dont even use for my lawn mower, the lesson is look in your owners manual and look what oil your soppossed to use at what temperature it will change high temp areas call for heavyer waight oils and cold climates call for thiner oils. but myself i would just use one of those. small heating pads for $19.99 that keeps my oil at 100 degrees and ready to go and then i have full protection from the 5w30 royal purple engine oil that the engine calls for and provides the best protection for at operating temperatures alot of peaple forget ya you can add the thinner oil in the cold weather to avoid the heat pad but then when you car warms up its not going to be receiving the amount of protection that the 5w30 would provide at operating temperature. so its your choice get thinner oil and have less protection at operating temperatures or get the oil that fully protects your engine at operating temperatures but have to buy a 20$ heat pad
you know you dont have to cycle the key right? the glow plugs stay on for 2 mins after after the light goes out its just a dummy light.... also replace the factory Glow plug relay with a White-Rodgers (Stancor) 586-902 ,mouser electronics online has them, has made a world of difference on my 7.3l (02 f250 with 198k miles)
My T444E coldest start without pluging is 10 deg Fahrenheit it was very painfull about 10 tries would start and shut off by its self lots of smoke too but its a diesel after all a little squirt of quick start does the trick now if i have to start that cold. The Cummins are doing much better for cold starts
I have a '96 F350 with the 7.3 but when its anything below 60 it doesn't like to start unless its plugged in. I am hoping it's the glow-plug relay, or the wiring harness and not the glow-plugs.
Sounds a little rough at the start. But she may sound a little rough :) 300.000+ miles many modern engine is worn out! My 21 year old Toyota Hiace 2.4D fires right up at the start. Gotta love them old Dieselengines. Put some 5W40 in the diesel to lubricate the fuelpump and make it smell good! (love that smell of Oil mixed with diesel in the morning)
I have 281000 on mine and I'm haveing trouble starting it in 30 degree temps I think I need new glow plugs.You have done steady maintenance to this engine and it shows you will probably get around 700000 miles out of that engine or more I see them with over 600000 quite frequently never overhauled
Daniel, sorry to keep bothering you about my excursion but, i would love it if you could direct me to where my keyless entry keypad stickers is on our 2001 excursion? thanks a lot
Maybe I can help with that. I currently own an '02 Ex Limited 7.3 and have owned an '03 Ex Eddie Bauer V10 previously and I was not provided with the codes to either one when I purchased them. To get to that sticker isn't too bad but requires some work, the keypad/keyless entry module is located somewhat behind the radio but more down toward the climate control area behind the dash. As I recall its a 4x8 inch black box. I had to pull the radio, which requires the Ford prong tool, can be had from any auto parts store for like $5, and I pulled the two 7 or 8mm screws that hold on that useless hook thing next to the cigarette lighter. I don't remember which way I had to mangle my body to see it, but with a flashlight and good set of eyes you can look up all around there and see the box, or depending on the sticker orientation, from the radio hole. I think I looked thru the radio on my '03 and thru the hanger hole on my '02 but its there, it was a white sticker with some barcodes as I recall (been a couple years now) and at the top will be the five digit OEM module code. Write it down and break out the owner manual and it will detail how to program your own new one. It can hole two codes, the factory which cannot change, and yours. Hope that helps :-)
I appreciate your help, I did take the cup holder out in that area but couldn't see it, I will take the radio out and take a look. Thanks a ton again!!!!!!
Anthony ferrin somewhere else to look is behind the passenger side panel just behind the rear passenger door. Not the barn doors. Under the seat belt panel
I don't know why this bothers me. But it wouldn't hurt you to run even a damp cloth over the interior every so often... Have a '00 expedition that still looks new. Your interior on the other hand.... I've also saw a 94 F-340 the other day that was freshly repainted, and had an interior that looked new. I mean, if you want to live with a vehicle that has that much dust and looks that horrible inside... go ahead. But you don't have to...
hello, can i borrow a part of your video for my compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description :) love the beasty V8 diesel sound on a cold start!
+Btb971 diesels can easily see 500k and some make it over a million. the key to them keeping them taken care of and do regular maintenance. But that goes for both gas and diesel. gas they are normally tired around that 250k mark. but can last longer yet again just keep regular maintenance. the biggest thing with diesels and the 7.3 and 6.0 powerstrokes included is oil changes and fuel filters, the injectors on them use the engine oil to fire the injectors and long over due oil changes will prematurely kill the injectors.
well as i said the same thing maintenance is a big thing to make them last. ya you can make a gas engine go plenty of miles. while its doable most people dont put that much time into taking care of what they own. i mean even diesels wont last if abused. but the point is diesels normally have no problem passing the 500k mark seeing closer and beyond the one million mark. the problem is how it was taken care of. now a lot of guys that own diesels look at nothing but tuning the crap out of them and running the piss out of it and cry when something brakes. it might be fun, but dont get mad if something brakes prematurly if you abuse it. granted not always is that the case. sometimes you can do everything right but something else fails and can cause all hell to brake loose. i mean for example i had a 1990 f150 with a 300 straight 6 and it had over 300k on it when i sold it to a buddy of mine and he still daily drives it. i put that thing to work too, when i sold it, it ran smooth as butter. but anyway as i was saying. most of the time 200 to 250k is getting to the point its (high mile) well from the sales gimmicks on buying high mile oil is 75k... in general it comes down to the owner as to how long it will last normally.
+Woods Clan Well really the bearings and rings get shot at a certain point...and they get tired at an x mark to a degree. 300k on a gasser is really pushing it. 500k on a consumer diesel is really pushing it. I bet a compression test is 85% of what it was when new and oil consumption is 200% of what it was new.
My dad had a 2000 Excursion with the v10 and he only got 390k miles on it. He did all the maintenance on time oil, tires, belts and so on. after 300k it didnt want to tow much which is useless for him
He did more than just the belts and oil. The truck had power but it was all original except the trans up to 275k which i think is pretty good and he never babied it. And i agree the 7.3 is reliable but there are going to be lemons with all vehicles
poopaky wowitstinks got two of these 7.3 international's. not even 200,000 miles between the two of them. one 4wd one 2wd. plan on riding these til I die.
The glowplugs run for about 90 seconds, so you don’t have to turn the key on and off every time the dash light goes out.
I love these 7.3 outfitted Ford vehicles. They run forever in a day but man when something does go wrong on them, cha ching!
Repairs on a 7.3 are nothing compared to repairs on a new diesel tho!
Yeah just put 10k into my 1995 F350 dually at Ford though but want it done right then if not they have to fix it

DJ TITO they are making them again if I'm not mistaken
you can get them just not from ford you have to buy an f250 then have it sent to do the conversion .

that sure was the quickest cold start ive ever seen haha
its obviously in good shape. thats not smoky at all for a 7.3

I have 281000 on mine and I'm haveing trouble starting it in 30 degree temps I think I need new glow plugs.You have done steady maintenance to this engine and it shows you will probably get around 700000 miles out of that engine or more I see them with over 600000 quite frequently never overhauled
Did you check the glow plug solenoid? they go bad a lot of the time.
injector stiction issues, does it have a miss when it first starts?
Yes a miss if it's not plugged in it misses pretty bad then sounds perfect around 5 minutes after start up
Jason Skinner Look up injector stiction, that sounds like your problem, also its and easy fix if it is.
does it have the original exhaust system? sounds like you installed a delete system :)
Sounds like I mix between a Pissed off Fighter Jet and A 50 year old train chugging down the tracks
I see you still have it..
you forget about the turbo? lol. doesnt this have a Wicked Wheel rebuild now?
Can you make a video on your excursion muffler delete? That is the exact sound I’m after.
What kind of radio is in that excursion my brother has a ford sport trac that has a bigger original radio and want to put in an after market one
Wow that sounds amazing!
Hey I noticed the show me State tags I'm originally from St Joseph Missouri which is 57 miles due north of Kansas City
what does your LPOP run on that when its hot? ive got a T-444E that only runs 40 PSI at 2200 RPM.. seems low for hot Lube oil pressure
These things are the freaking bomb! Apocalypse happens this is what I’m taking.
Good old 7.3, real bugger to work on when things do go wrong though.
Was this the same truck that had gasoline put in it?
I have a 2000 Ford excursion that me and my family use.
Daniel, sorry to keep bothering you about my excursion but, i would love it if you could direct me to where my keyless entry keypad stickers is on our 2001 excursion?
thanks a lot
Maybe I can help with that. I currently own an '02 Ex Limited 7.3 and have owned an '03 Ex Eddie Bauer V10 previously and I was not provided with the codes to either one when I purchased them. To get to that sticker isn't too bad but requires some work, the keypad/keyless entry module is located somewhat behind the radio but more down toward the climate control area behind the dash. As I recall its a 4x8 inch black box. I had to pull the radio, which requires the Ford prong tool, can be had from any auto parts store for like $5, and I pulled the two 7 or 8mm screws that hold on that useless hook thing next to the cigarette lighter. I don't remember which way I had to mangle my body to see it, but with a flashlight and good set of eyes you can look up all around there and see the box, or depending on the sticker orientation, from the radio hole. I think I looked thru the radio on my '03 and thru the hanger hole on my '02 but its there, it was a white sticker with some barcodes as I recall (been a couple years now) and at the top will be the five digit OEM module code. Write it down and break out the owner manual and it will detail how to program your own new one. It can hole two codes, the factory which cannot change, and yours. Hope that helps :-)
I appreciate your help, I did take the cup holder out in that area but couldn't see it, I will take the radio out and take a look. Thanks a ton again!!!!!!
Anthony ferrin somewhere else to look is behind the passenger side panel just behind the rear passenger door. Not the barn doors. Under the seat belt panel
No need to cycle the glow plugs. Just leave key in on position.
How many gearboxes has it had?
Ilove Servis believe it or not it's still on the original gearbox.... it does wander like crazy though lol
***** Hope my Renault Auto lasts this long its on 102,000 miles bit of a mystery if you know anything about Renaults
Ilove Servis zzzzwzxxxxexxxxxx
It's not a chrysler...Ford may not be able to build an engine but the transmissions are decent
runs like a dream!
I don't know why this bothers me. But it wouldn't hurt you to run even a damp cloth over the interior every so often...
Have a '00 expedition that still looks new. Your interior on the other hand....
I've also saw a 94 F-340 the other day that was freshly repainted, and had an interior that looked new.
I mean, if you want to live with a vehicle that has that much dust and looks that horrible inside... go ahead. But you don't have to...
hello, can i borrow a part of your video for my compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description :)
love the beasty V8 diesel sound on a cold start!
Yes, that would be fine. I look forward to seeing your compilation!
what kind of mileage city and highway do you get? and how fast do you guys drive?
Hey, what do you film with?
That sounded terrible bro i'd never start my 7.3 like that unless i was in the middle of the woods. Plug the block heater in, take care of her.
I would love to get one like that but they are mostly already trashed inside and out
+matthew reed Junkyard the interior. Find one with a solid frame, fix the body yourself and get it maaco'd one color.
That cold start sounded like global warming
Where are you located?
I don't know much about diseal trucks, so do they last longer than a gas engine for example? Or is 300k very lucky for a truck?
+Btb971 diesels can easily see 500k and some make it over a million. the key to them keeping them taken care of and do regular maintenance. But that goes for both gas and diesel. gas they are normally tired around that 250k mark. but can last longer yet again just keep regular maintenance. the biggest thing with diesels and the 7.3 and 6.0 powerstrokes included is oil changes and fuel filters, the injectors on them use the engine oil to fire the injectors and long over due oil changes will prematurely kill the injectors.
well as i said the same thing maintenance is a big thing to make them last. ya you can make a gas engine go plenty of miles. while its doable most people dont put that much time into taking care of what they own. i mean even diesels wont last if abused. but the point is diesels normally have no problem passing the 500k mark seeing closer and beyond the one million mark. the problem is how it was taken care of. now a lot of guys that own diesels look at nothing but tuning the crap out of them and running the piss out of it and cry when something brakes. it might be fun, but dont get mad if something brakes prematurly if you abuse it. granted not always is that the case. sometimes you can do everything right but something else fails and can cause all hell to brake loose. i mean for example i had a 1990 f150 with a 300 straight 6 and it had over 300k on it when i sold it to a buddy of mine and he still daily drives it. i put that thing to work too, when i sold it, it ran smooth as butter. but anyway as i was saying. most of the time 200 to 250k is getting to the point its (high mile) well from the sales gimmicks on buying high mile oil is 75k... in general it comes down to the owner as to how long it will last normally.
+Woods Clan Well really the bearings and rings get shot at a certain point...and they get tired at an x mark to a degree. 300k on a gasser is really pushing it. 500k on a consumer diesel is really pushing it. I bet a compression test is 85% of what it was when new and oil consumption is 200% of what it was new.
My dad had a 2000 Excursion with the v10 and he only got 390k miles on it. He did all the maintenance on time oil, tires, belts and so on. after 300k it didnt want to tow much which is useless for him
He did more than just the belts and oil. The truck had power but it was all original except the trans up to 275k which i think is pretty good and he never babied it. And i agree the 7.3 is reliable but there are going to be lemons with all vehicles
even the oil? coolant?
This engine its like 1.9 TDI PD - Pompe-duse - the same mess up injection system
That started easier than my 2001 7.3 at 1 degree
Fords rock
what type of exhaust do you have, and how much did you buy it for

Ford should bring back the Excursion and it’s been 13 years since Ford discontinued the Excursion
sounds like a 1999-2006 dodge 2500 cummins turbodiesel
nice man with that many miles!
I got a 18. year old ford ranger xlt 1999 truck still runs better than my aunts Chrysler town and country minivan that like 10-7 years old
