Dang it Tyler!
Hey who is I'm a big fan and I was wondering if you had Mercer not
I give you 1 thumb up for it. Thanks.
I like the pictures
I'd love to buy it but I'm broke
I manufactured that engine. I was a manufacturing engineer at Navistar when we built the 7.3L Powerstroke for Ford. It was a "black box" product. Ford gave us the performance goals and we designed and built the engine. It has forged crank and rods (until rods were later changed to powdered forgings), the cam was machined from billet steel and the block and heads were cast and machined in our factory in Indianapolis along with the cam, crank and rods. We produced one engine every minute. After the 6.0 fiasco Ford started working to developing their own engine. Navistar turned away from quality to cost cutting and ruined their own engines. I believe Ford's first engine was the 6.7 (I left Navistar after the 7.3). The corporate atmosphere changed. When the 7.3 was being produced we believed we were the premier engine manufacturer, we were the best at what we did and we made the best engine. Even the hourly guys had the ability to halt the production line when they saw a quality problem. And they took pride in what they were producing. After the 7.3L all that changed and making a cheap engine was the goal.
The 6.0 was absolutely not a cummins design
I had a package delivery van with a 7.3. Reliable engine!! Had to change glow plugs and controllers every 3 years.. other than that it was fantastic
413k on the 96 7.3l Daily work truck towing gross 20k... the thing will not die. Slow. sure. But she starts and runs all day...
7.3 was "reliable" because it was so modestly powered. 6.0 is much faster and can hold much more power but has additional design flaws that come with that.
7.3 can't hold the power the modern and 6.0/6.4 diesels had without a complete rebuild.
350k on my 97. I love it so much I can't see ever letting it go. With an open air filter and remap it still pulls super hard. Thanks for your efforts in producing this wonderful engine.
My dad's a Ford guy. He had a 6.0 that was ALWAYS broken. He's got a new Ecoboost that's okay, but his daily driver is still a '95 7.3 Powerstroke. The only problem he ever had with that trunk was electrical and had nothing to do with the engine. It has 571K miles and is still going strong.
ecoboost is ford best new engine, its pretty amazing
571K that's insane. My 02 Suburban is at 200k and still goes like a champ. Only problem I've had was a fuel pump going out around 180k. But I was kinda asking for it since it was an original part from factory
@@TacticalTirpitzleHA!
You're gonna regret selling that Excursion!
@moreno valley news first how much do these go for in america currently? Not perfect examples but sort of low mileage ones
I have older gentlemen asking me all the time if I wanna sell my F250 7.3L. They all say the same thing, I regret selling mine. So I’m keeping till it dies, or I die lol. My daughters always say that they are burying my truck with me.
My dad bought the 2000 7.3 excursion new for 55k sold in 2009 because of the divorce for 17k... Yea he's still pissed to this day
@@silasdietrich7464 23 years of driving and still got almost 20k for it... Thats awesome
@@jinglemyberries866 These trucks are notorious for rust damage. A stock "fair" condition truck with a 7.3 would sell between 9k and 12k. 9k with bad rot and 12k with minimal rust. A semi restored 7.3 excursion or a heavily modified one can go for upwards of 25k at auction depending on the job done. Ive seen a FULLY restored truck (showroom quality) with a 7.3 sell for 43K
you forgot to give it a dougscore
Should have tried to sell it to the Car Wizard so he can tow his new yacht around, lol.
I was thinking the same thing! But shit, the bid is over 20k right now, so hoovie is probably thrilled.
Personally I'd sell it weezard, and maybe swap the interior for lariat leather. Then it would be perfect
Ope, nevermind it's at 16k right now, lol. I figured it be more
Sell it to Wizard- install maybe some aftermarket rear springs and boom! perfect tow truck.
He has GRANDMA for that!
@@jjlegend3922 17.5 now but I'm guessing it will hit 20.

Triggered Ford guy
Felix Bruh if he knew what he was talking about it would be different , also all powerstrokes were internationals untill the 6.7.
Gabe Snyder the last international was the 7.3... the 6.0 6.4 and 6.7 are Fords
anthonysvt_ No international made the 6.0 and the 6.4. Ford made the 6.7

Never say no to Father Douglas, or all your quirks will become mainstream.
Cars and Bids is so brilliant. I can see many more TH-camrs using this platform to advertise their latest cars for sale. Doug has created something truly special
Doug DeMuro is going to have his own internet empire. Yes he is quite goofy in his personality and his choice of clothing but he is very very smart in the TH-cam computer tech world. I give him credit because I've been watching his videos since the beginning and he has built his 2 channels and now his car auction website from nothing into a huge money maker and he will only get bigger once Cars and Bids grows which it will.
*well boi’s we lost another one of the fleet
. RIP powerstroke*
"Inappropriate Santa" awesome dry humor
I don't think it's fair saying "All new ford's are junk" the first iteration of 6.7 powerstrokes (2011-2013) were, in my opinion, better than the 7.3. Longevity, power load, and flat out reliability. I've heard of people with 2018+ powerstrokes having issues. But that's the third iteration of the 6.7, stick with 2012 superdutys if you want to upgrade from a high mileage 7.3.
My 2012 was bought with 200 miles. I've now got almost 400k. The only service I had, was replacing my Def tank 4 years ago. That's it. Still using the original Mastercraft batteries too.
If you want a powerstroke, stick to these years, and just stay away from 6.0/6.4s all together...
1998-2003 or 2011-2013.
Liar
didnt the 2011-13 turbines explode and fill the engine with metal?
ford are the most reliable American car brand, without a doubt better than GM or Dodge. But its absolutely nuts that a ford excursion is that price, not to long ago you could get one for 3k
Or you want old just get an 80’s ford with the international diesel. Don’t know the reliability though
And bill Hewlett of powerstroke specialty th-cam.com/users/powerstrokehelp pretty much wont touch a 6.4 anymore because he considers them a throwaway engine.
I have a 96 7.3 PSD. It’s got a built trans, a nice exhaust, and a 4” lift on 35’s. It’s like the passage of time, or a valley being born from a small winding river. A strong redwood cemented through millennia by its roots.
What I’m saying is that it’s slow. Really slow. But I love it.
Just wanted to point out a small mistake, not ragging on you just wanted to let you know. The 6.7 is not a twin turbo engine from the factory. It is a Single VGT turbo in the valley. The 6.4 was a compound turbo engine. The early 6.7 engines had a twin scroll turbocharger where it had 2 inlets for the compressor housing and the compressor wheel was 2 sided. It was a very interesting setup.
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports, unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Jeep has a new Grand Wagoneer you know.
I remember im like 1998 when i went with my mom to Mexico durango. The taxi driver managed to fit 13 people in a 90 sentra. Imagine in this thing at least 60.

(Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts...)
“So what’s so special about the 6.7?”
“Well, it’s not a 6.0 or 6.4...” lol
The only saving factor of the 6.0 is that your can solve it's problems. And get a reliable engine out of it. The only way you solve a 6.4s problem is with a "For Sale" sign.
@@Trichobezoar_ Hold on now, you can always cummins swap a 6.4L.
Imagine a 2008 F450 Cummins 4x4 Harley Davidson edition or king ranch edition

@@ItsAlwaysRusty Is it his new truck or a borrowed truck? I assumed it was borrowed but gor bored 1/4 the way in the video
as if progress is comparing yourself to the worst of the worst
I had a 97 F350 CrewCab Dually 7.3 w/5-speed. 580,000 miles on it.
-It had high performance turbo, injectors, oil pump, fuel system, clutch, and all supporting modifications.
I daily drove that truck for 3 years, towed with it, and put 93k on it.
During its lifetime, I don't think I ever saw it get below 16 MPG with an avg of 18-21 MPG. All fuel stops, mileage, and receipts recorded.
An exception would be when I towed a mobile home and left it running overnight in the winter to sleep with heat. That trip was 10~ MPG.
It leaked some oil.
The only thing that broke was a fuse due to a fuel bowl heater short.
That's it.
Tell me a 7.3 with power can't be reliable. I'll wait.
All we used until three years ago was 7.3’s and they pulled anything we hooked up to. We tried a duramax. And it did okay. Pulled well but that’s about it. We traded it in before 100000 kms. And we now have a 6.7 powerstroke and it hasn’t had any problems yet. And one thing I hate when people say Is “you need horsepower to pull” you don’t! Unless you don’t know how to pull a load. And yes they are basic but you know what it gets the work done and looks so good doing it
well boi’s we lost another one of the fleet
rip powerstroke
Yes, sure, old International 7.3 better than modern. I was owner of two f350 in Siberia on 1998, they was amazing.
Amazing how he has a decent knowledge of these diesel engines 7.3s 6.0s etc and also appreciates super cars and sports cars of all eras
My dad has a 7.3 diesel and refuses to sell it. I don't blame him because it's 20 years old and still runs like a champ.
That's because it's an international engine not ford
Jason Voorhees 6.7’s are bulletproof once deleted. I’d pick a deleted 6.7 over a 7.3 any day.
Jason Voorhees 7.3 was great but the 6.0 and 6.4 were pure shit even at a basic long block level and both 100% International Navistar engines.
6.7 is the best medium duty diesel ever made once deleted, 100% Ford design. Seems like Ford should have been designing and building their own diesels the day they retired the 7.3.

@@alastairward2774 funny to see how we refer to 1.9 /2.0 L engines as "huge" on a video about a 7.3 lmao
Andrew Peterson thanks to Cali, they fudged the smug factor by 100x to basically outlaw diesels.
The 6.0 is great once bulletproofed with head studs and EGR removal and then a nice tune makes it a beast. The bottom ends are quite stout 👍 I’ve had a ‘04 F350 and it has been awfully reliable. Lariat with leather and all the power features here but massaging seats and silly power step and 360degree nannie cam for a mere $48,000 in 2004 and it’s still worth half that because it’s cared for and clean and without a gazillion miles on it..
Wish Ford would bring back the excursion, it was a great suv. It would be awesome to get a 2020 excursion with the new 7.3 GAS v8 and the 10speed transmission.
Yes ford could knock the suburban clean off the table
so the obvious answer is put the 7.3 into the newer f-250 ;)
I don’t think it would meet the standards.

These guys are dweebs and don't know shit.
They are getting confused with the gas 3.5l ecoboost...
Lol. My 6.7 and 6.0 have without a doubt outlasted most of his entire fleet in reliability. And if it’s the best SUV ever made....why not keep it? Oh because the DeLorean is more reliable. He must be a DeLorean guy
The 6.4L was a "twin turbo" diesel 2008-2010. My folks had one. It didn't have any problems but was traded in on a 6.7L before it could. The 6.0 they had before the 6.4 blew up on the guy that bought it after it was traded in. Lasted a week and head gasket went. They are on their 2nd 6.7L now with zero issues with them.
The new 6.7s are the most reliable trucks on the market now. Hard to compare the old trucks to the new ones, due to regulations all companies had to re-engineer everything
To be honest the 7.3 is more affordable when they are perfect 1999 F-350 XL I could get for under $30,000 a new 6.7 upwards of $77,000 new and a used one with a much lower price is rare

We had a 1994 F-Superduty (450 cab and chassis) which had the 7.3L Powerstroke which was available mid model year to replace the non-DI engine. It blew the turbo a few times early ownership until we changed the rear end ratio to drop the revs. Retired it at 495k km as we out grew it and the reefer box wore out. Apart from a few oil drips it ran great considering how hard it was ran.

I would take the 7.3 Liter every day and twice on Sunday over anything newer. And I LOVE the sound of the old 7.3s! Simple, reliable, rock solid. Gimme.
My dad's '03 F30 has the 7.3l turbo. After 340K miles, it still starts and runs like it did the day it left the factory. Had to buy new batteries 4 years ago.
I miss my old 7.3! My mom though 4x4 meant it could go through anything and she ended up going through 4 feet of water and a week later the truck threw a rod and it got 22 mpg

I’ve had my ‘97 E350 7.3 van for 2+ years, bought it for $1,800. I’ve put considerably more in for repairs, but none engine related! At 350,600 miles, the engine is rock solid. And it hasn’t had a proper oil change the entire time I’ve had it. But that is on the agenda!
I own a 1999 F250 Super duty 4x4 crew cab 7.3l powerstroke just hit 438,000 miles still running strong, bone stock and looks great! I love it!
I had a V10 Triton model of the Excursion. They're worth a lot and they're very good.
Didn't that V10 like to blow sparkplugs out of the heads?
Nice engine though, drove one in a rental RV.
I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not
@@meeder78 it did if you tighten them to much.
My parents had a 2002 with the V10. They bought it right when gas prices soared. Oops. I learned how to drive in that monster. Unfortunately we were plagued with the spark plugs blowing out because of the defective heads. It did make it to 178k miles before my parents scrapped it. Shame as the body was in great shape considering we live in the Northeast.
I put 200,000 miles on a a V10 Excursion with no mechanical issues except for one blown spark plug thread at 100,000 miles. Very reliable
Hoovie didn't even let jrgo drive the 7.3. and he was hating on his truck like the whole time I kinda feel sorry for him. Showing up to just get crapped on for a day 😂
Yeah Tyler always treats John like shit. Like john is a lower class of people...
Super annoying how he is disrespectful to his friend. Is it because he doesn't have as many subs as him? Trys to put down the new truck just because it isn't his and talks up his garbage so he can get a higher bid for it. His personality is off-putting and Ill be unsubscribing.

Went from fun little car jokes to actual elitism.
I own a 2003 Ford F-250 7.3 Crew Cab 4x4, 59,000 miles(all original-white color-tan leather & always garaged) purchased new 12/92. I went to buy new engine 6.0 diesel but dealer told me the new 6.0 engine had issues and they extended the 7.3 due to the 6.0 engine issues. Purchased 7.3 and who new right? No engine issues ever but the truck eats tires 3rd set. I bought @ $7600 off sticker. Still have all docs too. My new Nextdoor came over and looked at my truck and he got so excited I thought he was going to faint and he told me to name my price and I told him no because I promised the truck to my son in law! Truck is a beast as the truck will lay a tire scratch with little effort. Looks like the day I bought brand new.
did i just watch an episode of "friends in trucks getting coffee"?
Seems like Seinfeld should've drove up too.
The roof. The roof. The roof is on fire. Well okay. Maybe it's just a little faded. LOL. Silvers and greys are pretty common to do this. Or "ruff" as Hoovie says. Clean looking truck. I'm glad you left it stock. It should make someone a nice family truck and grocery go getter. I really love WatchJRGO's new rig as well.
For the first year or two of the 6.7 they had ceramic ball bearing turbos and they would grenade.
Great video I have a 99 7.3 with 126k miles. Love it, its nick name is Monster Clack. It's stock and loud. It's annoying to people in cars next to me on the road. I pull up and they give me the f you look and roll up their windows or move forward. It's slow but it hauls heavy weight like a champ!
I drive a 2000 Ford Excursion XLT in gold, the wax I like to use for it mothers California gold really makes the gold on my truck shinny, reflective and protected.
Have to say, looking at Tyler's house he is really struggling in life.
Hes in debt up to his eyeballs lol
That TH-cam check must hit different lol
He comes from money, he still does some executive work for his parents business and TH-cam, hoovey is a hard worker and very smart he just plays this dumb character on TH-cam
The new transmissions with the 6.7's are so much better than the 7.3s though.
Agreed. At 400k miles is shifting hard on colder days, but honestly I'm impressed it's made it this far. I've never had a Ford with an automatic last this long. Changed my mind on powerstrokes 👍. Will for sure get another one.
I love how Hoovie keeps showing us the bird sh!t on John's truck. :D
My grandpa had a fully optioned excursion that was about the same model year and it was my favorite truck to be in as a kid, one day we were all in the house and thought someone was trying to steal it because we had heard the motor turning over. Turns out the truck had an issue where it would try to start itself. The second time it had this problem a fire started in the engine bay, after that the ford was gone and my grandpa only buys Lexus and Toyota products now lol
6:12
“ O .... WOAH... It massages your lower parts too, well let’s before I get too excited here “ 😂😂😂 i died after watching that
Probably also plays an audio track in a sexy little Asian female voice saying, " I so horny, I love you long time"...
The issues with the modern 6.7 powerstroke also apply to every modern diesel, the emissions shit is a headache and ruins fuel economy
I worked in engineering on the 7.3 when the govt announced the coming emissions standards for diesels. We were able to meet the requirements using something called "Ultra Low Sulfer" diesel. Maybe it isn't available now or maybe standards have gotten even tighter. Just wondering why they haven't come out with something better.
Exactly! The 6.7 is the best motor ever made, if you delete it you will never have a problem again! #FordForce
Yeah really makes no sense let's burn more fuel and add shit to it out of plastic jugs just to get rid of nox emissions it's retarded but the epa isn't known for intelligence
my dream truck is a 99-03 7.3l powerstroke full 4dr (supercrew cab) 4x4 dually and if i ever get one one ill be doing a build that never beeen done before(ive searched the entire internet) but the build will be so nice even 6.7 enthusiast would have to like it
This is the crossover we never knew we needed
Noooo not the Excursion! Such a beast!
From what I understand the consensus is the 6.7s are fairly reliable, even the emissions systems work decently compared to previous models. Its no 7.3 of course, but much much better than the 6.0 and 6.4.
6.7L have one turbo, should have a bit of a clue if your going to talk about them.
This idiot also said 6.7’s have smaller turbos. He’s comparing non vgt to vgt, of course they feel different 🤦♂️
Guaranteed u ask him how the exhaust brake works on the 6.7L and u would get a blank stare
Well he said that the 6.7 is unreliable. When the Ford trucks about the best value right now.
@@TheTyrial86 I totally agree along with tons of other people that know what they’re talking about. He clearly didn’t do any research on either truck.
Yeah there was a few things this guy said he obviously doesn't know the difference from his asshole to the hole in the ground. And the 6.7 might not be as reliable as the 7.3 but it's not far off.
My 2001 7.3 diesel Excursion is the best all around vehicle I've ever owned, and I'm 71 and have had lots of cars and trucks. It just keeps running. Total reliability and with a chip on safe tow, about 23 mpg on the highway, without a load.
Those Excursions ROCK!
For the record the 6.7 Powerstroke is a single vgt turbo, not a twin turbo like the ecoboost. Just figured I'd point that out
Right? Glad I'm not the only one that caught that.
They’re mixing it up with the 6.4, the 6.7 is very reliable.
6.7 powerstroke is a monster.had a 15 i traded a few month's back.great truck!
I’ve got a 2008 f150 triton 4.6 v8 with 326k miles on It and it still runs just fine just have to keep up with the maintenance.
I have one that’s right at around 100,000 miles and there’s been absolutely nothing wrong with it. You have to give it a chance
not bad, but for a diesel, thats not even broke in.
The plastic kid cars could hit 100,000 miles lmao!
Man I drive a 2019 power stroke it has 110,000 + miles and has over 5200 engine hours the front end is still tight trans shifts good and has held up very well been super impressed with the 6.7
From what I’ve seen the 6.7 is a very good engine. Unfortunately some people just like to hate. Enjoy your truck!
Michael Christopher it’s actually a company truck lol I do like it though
That is notable about the front end. A 4x4 7.3 usually wears the ball joints and everything else on the front end out in the 1st 75k. Ask me how I know....
Mine is a 2001 F-250 with 210,000. I sure love our truck. We ordered it back in 2000!
Here in Oklahoma a guy is building "new" excursions. He's taking newer super duty trucks, adding the rear of the excursion to make a "new" excursion. He even makes an F450 6 door dually model. They're INSANE!!! Selling for over $100,000.00 Search them on TH-cam... "New excursion oklahoma" Would love to see you go visit that shop being that it isn't far from you.
I can’t wait to bid on this... and probably lose
Be prepared to pay like 5k more because hoovie owned it lol
Bryson Kuhn it was at like 3,800 when I watched the video. It’ll go past 15k in no time in which case I’m tapping out lol
@@OfficalTCG that's nuts that an excursion is that experience.
@@OfficalTCG yeah. It's a great truck in a great spec but not 15-20k great.
snsproduc it’s somewhat worth it. The diesel variants of these cars are crazy nice. I’d pay 10-12.5k. There was an accident on file and slight rust. It’s a great car in pretty good shape, I just can’t justify spending 15 on this one, especially as a college student. I live in the south and 15 can get me a pretty similar excursion but with some upgrades.
Wow y’all really don’t know much about diesels lol
I'm still waiting for Hoovie to just straight up buy an old army tank or maybe an M2/M3 Bradley IFV. They're great to convert into an ultimate man cave.
Tell us Tristan
Hoover: hmm yes this car is extremely reliable
Also Hoovie: ight it’s gonna head out
I had a ‘03 excursion xlt in bright red. Can you guess the nickname? It’s related to a certain large red dog.
It never failed to pull up our 30’ camper up an 18% grade driveway of gravel and roots. 4wd low is freaking awesome!
funny how people say ford is unreliable but my 2003 ford windstar has 410,000 miles on it. original engine and transmission. only changed oil every 4500 miles, coolant, and has original stereo with the vhs in it 😂 everything works!!
Windstar one of the best fords ever if we talk about reliability
Modern ford's aren't junk lol. The 6.7 is still extremely reliable, and most of ford's products now, with the exception of the focus and Fiesta dcts are pretty rock solid.
Try upgrading the 7.3 to the 475hp and 1000+ torques or whateva they're putting out now and see how poorly it holds up, oh and replace the trans while youre at it as it'll blow in a few thousand miles.
When you consider how much more capable these new trucks are, quite, cleaner (supposedly), add the aluminum body and all the new available features and the refinement (better ride and handling for example) the reliability is pretty damn solid. The prices when you take all that into consideration along with inflation arent as bad as people make it seem either.
@@shanet7511 That's what I'm saying, glad to see someone else who has common sense. Modern cars are expensive, but that's because they're just better. More powerful, reliable, safe, efficient and advanced to name a few improvements. The only real downside with modern cars is they're harder to repair, but they break way less so it'd a trade off I'm willing to accept.
@@shanet7511 The 6.7 is an absolute beast, that, the 3.5 ecoboost and 3.5 duratec, 5.0, 5.2 and 2.7 are all great engines. The duratec 3.5 v6 in my Explorer is regarded as an extremely reliable engine, aside from some water pump issues that mostly impacted older versions of the engine so my 2017 should be fine.
If we are being honest most modern cars last a long time with basic repairs. My neighbor has a Dodge Caravan from 2010 and has 270K on it and everyone shits on dodge for bad engines and transmissions. And my Chrysler 200 is on 130K with no major problems so far. Worst thing is the interior quality but other than that it runs great.
@@justinanderson181 Agreed, modern car will basically last forever if you take care of them.
When the two are cruising around they reminded me of what the guys from king of the hill would say.
3:00 He already has the " Texas Ranger" Bumperguard installed. Gives that truck a much meaner look...
6:55 Not twin turbo, just one
That's right. Neither of them know very much about diesels including most the people here in the comments, lol. Car channel.
I searched the comments just to see if anyone picked up on this.
Thank you! Single turbo in the valley!!
I was looking for this comment thank you😂
Newbs
Hoovie: “Here’s a great, not-crap car! Time to SELL!”
Me: 🙄 Still not forgiving you for selling that Lambo. 😖
Hell, I'm not forgiving him for selling his Rolls…or that Lexus Land Cruiser.
Non-crap cars means no views. I still am annoyed that he sold his NSX, but it didn’t give Hoovie enough views
good thing you got all the options so you can turn you heated seats on and wait for the tow truck when your dpf goes in 25k more miles or when your turbo implodes your motor at 150k
Got a 2001 F-350 with the 7.3. Just had the trans rebuilt after 160,000 miles of pulling cattle and hay bales. Ready for the next 20 years.
Always good to see you two together, i think Mr Hoover and Mr Ross makes a great team!. Hope to see more collabs with you guys.
My OCD was kicking in with the twist in JR’s seat belt 😂
gotta pick up the kit for one of these fords with a crate diesel! i'll place the order when i hit them up for a 2000 escalade without the interior so i can make a custom conversion van/truck.
Wish I had made videos when I had my 7.3 toterhome. Was a custom build mini custom tuned by dp tuners Which made it get way better mpg and it had like 900ft lbs tq and 550hp. Only had 90,000 miles too
