I hope you can save these. Love to see older vehicles saved and reused rather than scrapped. We NEED more reuse and restoration than disposing and scrapping.
I personally own a 6.0 power stroke and have used the 7.3 power stroke and 7.3 idi they all are good engines if they have been serviced properly! The only thing that I can recall to make the 6.0 to act up when putting the fuel to it is one or both fuel pumps are going out ! Just check your fuel pressure one it! I would if it was my truck is to take it down to power stroke help down GA and have it dealer proof by them they make a 6.0 sing
I like the 6.0. I own an 03 6.0 CCSB Lariat FX4 and I have put almost 20k miles on it this last year with many of those miles towing my camper with very minimal issues.
I'd kinda like to see what went wrong with the 6.0, the OBS is easily great content, it would look great next to the 357. As for the '03 7.3, let's see what it takes to sort the leak!
I had a '05 F350 6.0...it blew a turbo at 50k, I kept it for another 75k and got rid of it. Don't waste $$$ trying to "bullet proof" that one. The 7.3's are definitely the winners! 🔥👍
That second truck might just be leaking fuel from the bowl into the valley. Would explain the long cranking time too. All super cool trucks. Good finds.
Save em all. They all need TLC and will be damn good trucks. Im partial to the 6.Slow. Its a great runner just not built to pull heavy loads. 7.3s are boat anchors and slow as molasses but u cant kill em. Put em all back on the road!
That 6 0 after you put a little work to it it can be a really good work truck. The issue with those trucks is people they don't I understand how to treat the truck
My dad bought one brand new like the 1st truck. A year later my sister wrecked it really bad. She walked away without a scratch (everyone was thankful for that), but that truck never drove the same after repairs. My dad was super bummed as that was his 1st new vehicle ever and he bought it when he turned 50.
the 7.3 that took a bit to start, check your LPOP, it pumps oil up to the HPOP but if the tolerances get loose it will let oil drain out of the HPOP and make it tough to start. good stuff though, 7.3s for life
There 2 sets of 2 Orings where the turbo mounts to the pedestal, and where the pedestal mounts to the block, it’s a super common leak and could easily leak that much. Another common leak is the fittings where the HPOP lines go into the HPOP
Hey Quinton !! Yepper !! Your favorite 1 is the 1 to save !! The 2nd 1 looks like it needs a lot of love !! The 3rd 1 will have to looked over carefully to be sure that 6 liter will hold up any longer !! Sure Casey would have liked to help you out again & you would only have to make 2 trips & ended the day earlier B/4 the storm got ya !! 😊🙃👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
That first one is a keeper if nothing it's the best looking. I had a 2001 F250 7.3 diesel crew cab with a six speed manual with 350k miles when I traded it in for a Gladiator. It was a beast of the motor but body was falling apart .
Id like to see you clean up the extended cab a little bit before you send it off to work i know it’s a little used but the bones are still good. great truck also exited for what you are going to do with the obs thats a dang nice truck
Personally the extended cabs have been my preference, because of dry space. Never enough for a buddy & some gear. But as a 2nd truck, heavier is better, that f350 has some potential. Thanx !
Your Superfund site generating oil leak might be something with the HEUI system, which is up in the valley… I’m not entirely familiar with exactly where things like the IPR valve or pressure sensors are placed in the valley, but I do know that system has to build high pressure oil before the injectors will fire, and if something is allowing the oil to leak by, that could have contributed to the long crank time. Just a wild guess, it certainly could also be something with the turbo oiling system, but my first hunch was something to do with the HEUI. But that is a TON of oil, so it shouldn’t be hard to find.
I recommend stiction eliminator from either arch oil or hotshot, for the 6.0L. There is no guarantee it will work, but may give you more time before you have to tear in to the HEUI inj system.
Man it crazy to see that the beds arnt all rusted out !!! I am partial to the 6.0s because i have had 5 of them and good luck with all 5 !!! Thats a rare bird being an xlt 6 speed reg cab!!!@ i just looked closer it's an xl with upgraded seats and center console
That's how I found the oil cooler and filter housing was leaking on my wife's JKU is loading it upon my 40 footer. All the oil and antifreeze ran off the top of the engine and down the back of the motor and transmission onto the trailer deck. That happened the day before we were going to Moab.
With that 2nd truck, I assume you either have hpop leaks, or a fuel line leak. There's a hole on the passenger side of the valley in the back that drains anything in the valley down in front of the flywheel and out under the truck. Had the same issue on my 95. Rear main seals are fairly uncommon on these.
👍2nd this(turbo o-rings)...or high pressure oil line/hoses from hpop to heads --stc fittings leak and or hoses develop a hole(sometimes the ipr on hpop leaks too)... Or the oil rail plugs at the ends of head, specifically the one at the back of pass side head gets baked from down pipe being hot right next to it for 20+yrs/300k+ miles. I've seen all of these leaks on my 3 trucks. If the oil is dripping down the back... It is 99.9% coming from top of motor and not rear main(which very rarely leaks). Oil leaking down driver side onto axle is oil cooler o-rings leaking(usually when cold& stops when engine warms up). Overall, those 3 trucks look pretty decent -wonder what the price was for the 3?
Why didn't you show what's in the boxes lol that was the whole reason I watched the video.I sure wasn't interested in the fords 😂😂. Love your channel.i look forward to seeing new ones
Hey boss y do u like Cummings so much !!! I'm looking 4 a tow truck for a 5th wheel. But ur opinion would be appreciated 🙂 Ps. Can a rv tow vehicle Use a splitter or hi low set up ??? Have u heard of such a thing ???? Crawlers do it to under drive but I'm thinking as a doubler/overdrive unit...
They have good land prices where you at almost bought a farm in Utah 10 years ago 320 ackers looking for land to retire on like high desert like your channel k
Nice power plant. I've got a 2001 7.tree f2shity with over 870 thousand miles. All original no rust Michigan truck works construction and plowed every winter of its life...still stroking and purrs like a kitten 😸 13 letter shitspreader INTERNATIONAL best diesel ever made..
A series of videos on the restoration of the older 7.3 would be very cool.
Yes the last best ones! 92-97!

I love how people refer to these trucks as vintage now, or "OBS." Seems like just yesterday they were on dealer's lots.

Love that striped 7.3! I WILL own one one day! That is such a great truck and I'm happy that you were able to get her.
I had a '05 F350 6.0...it blew a turbo at 50k, I kept it for another 75k and got rid of it. Don't waste $$$ trying to "bullet proof" that one. The 7.3's are definitely the winners! 🔥👍
The 6.0L isn't garbage. It just needs some work. Nothing beats the OBS.
That second truck might just be leaking fuel from the bowl into the valley. Would explain the long cranking time too. All super cool trucks. Good finds.
It's motor oil I was thinking a hpop line
Great buy!!! That 6.0 tho🥵🥵🥵 i look every night for a single cab on Facebook and after looking tonight I saw your video😂
I had a 97 Supercab Shortbed PSD and I wish I still had it. Fantastic truck. Yours is a gem.
I'm thinking you need to give that poor trailer a little bit of love - especially the deck! 😉
iron King Inc i love Ford OBS 7.3 6.7 6.0 Powerstroke and Ram CumminsTurbo Diesel Pickup Truck too I am your Big Fans of you Bros Keep it up
Save em all. They all need TLC and will be damn good trucks. Im partial to the 6.Slow. Its a great runner just not built to pull heavy loads. 7.3s are boat anchors and slow as molasses but u cant kill em. Put em all back on the road!
Definitely keep the 1st one the blue and white it's a gorgeous truck
That 6 0 after you put a little work to it
it can be a really good work truck. The issue with those trucks is people they don't I understand how to treat the truck

Don't ever let females drive something you care about.

Dang man that’s really sad 😔
Glad to see you back, was getting worried!

Yes give the poor old 6.0 life again it does look cool with the chrome grill guard and chrome grill
You sir have bought three rare trucks nowadays, at least from where I live. Good score! I'd try and fix them all up if it was me.
#1 definitely a keeper that’s a cool truck
I can't believe the mileage and how good the bodies are!!!
AWESOME VIDEO! Everybody’s getting money off these trucks. Great trucks I’d pick the 97 out of the others!
Definitely like the first one , the third one , it could be a good truck after some work
Give the poor 6 leaker power joke some love. I’ve Owned one for 14 years. It does work great when it works!😂 good runners sell easier.
Good luck with your projects. I’ll be watching to see what you do. 👌
It's so good you took all time diagnosing truck so would start storm you talked about
The OBS for sure.A gem in the making.
The obs f350 is a gem
And will always be worth good money
That first one is a keeper if nothing it's the best looking. I had a 2001 F250 7.3 diesel crew cab with a six speed manual with 350k miles when I traded it in for a Gladiator. It was a beast of the motor but body was falling apart .
I just got my hands on a 96 F250 7.3 with 363,000. It’s lived a hard life but still kickin. It’s one of the main trucks on my channel now.
Id like to see you clean up the extended cab a little bit before you send it off to work i know it’s a little used but the bones are still good. great truck also exited for what you are going to do with the obs thats a dang nice truck
Save the obs !! Clean it up and keep it classy no big dumb wheels
Agreed!
Lucky I love the 7.3s and 6.0 powerstrokes the 6.0s are solid if you keep up on maintenance and use good full synthetic oil
I don’t know personally but I would like to… Iv heard nothing but problems with the 6.0
Personally the extended cabs have been my preference, because of dry space. Never enough for a buddy & some gear. But as a 2nd truck, heavier is better, that f350 has some potential. Thanx !
Love the obs stuff, Ford's forever. Little concerned about what your towing them Ford's with!

Keep the best ones

I’d Keep the obs for sure. The new 7.3 sure , but the 6.0 would take some convincing. Lol but the fact that they are all manuals 👍.
More videos on the trucks please .
Super lucky find. Obs for sure .. I'm in. I would love to have my o2 7.3 back..
Used to live in La Pine,that town has grown, great score on the trucks ,
Do them all, good content

That white single cab could use a good v10, It looks solid as as well

It's a great look old truck . 3rd keep for parts . Maybe for second one
Cool save them all
Save ‘em! Especially the OBS
Don’t stress yourself over the junk 6.blow. The 7.3 trucks are definitely where it’s at!
That 1st truck is definitely the only keeper the other two aren't.
I think the second 7.tree will come around
I think the 1st one is a keeper. Been wondering how the rest of your trip went in the old service truck
They should all start no problem. Sell the superduty 7.3s & keep the OBS.
The 2nd 1, is probably the o rings between the turbo and intake. A very common problem on high mileage 7.3s
👍2nd this(turbo o-rings)...or high pressure oil line/hoses from hpop to heads --stc fittings leak and or hoses develop a hole(sometimes the ipr on hpop leaks too)... Or the oil rail plugs at the ends of head, specifically the one at the back of pass side head gets baked from down pipe being hot right next to it for 20+yrs/300k+ miles.

that 6.0L probably has a bad or cheap aftermarket ICP(defective outta the box). the 6.0L would be cool to save i'd buy it from you.
7.3 powerstroke very rarely leak out of the valve covers
You must of got a good deal on them I was you you had a lot of trucks for spares surly you have parts to make good reliable one first one really nice
First ones a keeper, I have a 93 4x4 crew cab with a 460 owned it sense 95 second owner..
I lived in la pine several years , along other towns like fork rock silver lake, I love central Oregon
6.0L engines once properly bullet proofed are suppose to actually be the best engine some will say. I'm a 7.3L guy all the way though.
Why didn't you show what's in the boxes lol that was the whole reason I watched the video.I sure wasn't interested in the fords 😂😂. Love your channel.i look forward to seeing new ones
odds are the glow plug relay is out on the 7.3 that needs ether.
That 6.0 has a blown boost tube
FYI 7.3 very very rarely have rear main leaks
Just loyal.
Oil in the valley could be oil filter housing cap. That what it was on mine.
You mean fuel filter cap? The oil filter is on the side of the block.
Save all I have a 2995 with a 6.0 bend doing great.
Yo , is it by design that they are ALL sticks ????
Is that a logger thing or a true purpose in it ???
Save the 6.0
Big score I want one of them for towing how much. I’ll pick her up.
Save them all
Hey boss y do u like Cummings so much !!!
I'm looking 4 a tow truck for a 5th wheel. But ur opinion would be appreciated 🙂
Ps. Can a rv tow vehicle
Use a splitter or hi low set up ??? Have u heard of such a thing ???? Crawlers do it to under drive but I'm thinking as a doubler/overdrive unit...
Wont ever forget when i was 16 i worked for a loggin outfit out of glendale and we had an ol crummy with a 7.3 idi we dumped bar oil in every week
Scrap the 6 L use it for parts for body repair the other 2 7.3‘s they are the best engine ever and I absolutely love that 97 i’ve got 4 7.3
The number 3 truck part out
Maybe keep the 6.0 for parts to repair 7.3
Save the OBS for sure........Probably put the other 7.3 back to work somewhere..........Dump the 6.0 liter before you put much $$$ into it.
The second truck is probably Hi pressure oil hoses or turbo pedestal
Yeah, I think replacing the trailer deck would be a good thing.
I would use chains and binders.
My brother has a 97 7.3 single cab we call it the hunting truck
la pine?? what part of centeral oregon are ya from?
If you part out the 6.0 I really want the zf6 I’m over on the west side of mt hood
The 7.3 motor will always start. No matter what.
I wish I could get them from you
The 7.3 only need to ether because of the oil leak problem Lost oil pressure
They have good land prices where you at almost bought a farm in Utah 10 years ago 320 ackers looking for land to retire on like high desert like your channel k
I'm in the first few seconds of this video and I'm thinking where is Casey and his rollback !!
Let the detailed do his thing
I have a 91 Ford 250.
Where can I find the brush bar on the 03 6.0? I want one for my 99 7.3
That first truck is so weird because I have the exact same truck except it's a 1996 also with 356000 miles on it!
Nice power plant. I've got a 2001 7.tree f2shity with over 870 thousand miles. All original no rust Michigan truck works construction and plowed every winter of its life...still stroking and purrs like a kitten 😸 13 letter shitspreader INTERNATIONAL best diesel ever made..
The 6.0 sounds angry.
