Just wondering because I'm looking to buy a new diesel truck but up to this point are the 6.7 powerstrokes holding up and are they seeming to be reliable? I know they haven't been out that long but any opinion you have is valued.
Hey Bill I have a 2002 Ford F2 50 super duty with the 7.3 power stroke and it has 373,000 miles what would be some good injectors to put back in it if I was to replace them I don't do much howling I do Paul a 14 foot tandem axle trailer with a skid unit pressure washer on it with a 225 gallon tank I just want your opinion on the injectors if you don't mind thank you and love your videos Lucas PS I need some art oil if you could tell me how I could get some I would really appreciate it thank you

Yes, ron was driving to work on a casual calm morning, and out of nowhere a tired (lack of sleep) teenager swerved across lanes and hit him in his car, he was not wearing a seat belt.
Make seat belts cool, use a dot approved racing harness. Cops are dicks though, because they look for the shoulder strap going to the pillar. So cut a piece of belt and run it to the pillar to look good and that nonsense is minimal.
One of the best videos you have made. No... it wasn't all detailed out about engines and such. Just a fun relaxing video. Thank you Bill for ALL the years of Powerstroke information! Much success to you sir!!
This was a great video. I liked how you took a truly unbiased approach, showing what makes each truck and engine great in their own way. Thanks for uploading it!
Everyone needs to throw hay once in their life. Once you throw a few hundred bales in a barn with no moving air during a 100 degree day, all the other work you do doesn't seem so bad.
@@Cordell- Same here. The happiest day of my life was when my dad bought a round baler and I didn't have to sling them square bales anymore! Now you just drive the tractor around and operate the front-end loader with a spike attached. Easy money!
Its cool that u remember Ron.. Diesel Tech Ron... i have a 2006 f250 and u and him got that think perfect. All that advice and knowledge went straight into my truck. Thank u for being giving and helpful.
It's too bad that Ford went with International rather than Cummins back in the day. The Cummins motor saved the Ram truck, without it, Ram trucks would of been in the same history book as the dodo bird.
Cummins did save dodge. Because no one in their right mind would own a piece of crap like that without a good engine. And that's why ford makes their own diesels now!
cool video! It's nice to see a comparison video that isn't just constant bashing of one make/model. I don't know much about the dodges so I learned a fair bit.
I can’t beat a 7.3L. I grew up w/ them esp. in school buses and I remember them being used in old U-haul trucks whenever we moved and I just loved that noise SO much!
Got a question, when you showed the inside of spot, I notice that the center console was from a 08-10 or whatever year model truck. my question is will those particular center console fit in an 05 ford superduty with captain front seats? or what do you have to do to make it work?
Hey bill I have a question about the 7.3 powerstroke I got in a wreck and the front axle slid back and crunched the oil pan in and I was wondering can I replace it without pulling the motor and what would be the easiest and best way to do so
Have you done anything to eliminate air in the fuel? I replaced all the fuel lines from the tank to the engine with high quality line and fuel filter. It really did make a difference in the noise level.
Loved it thanks, keep them coming. You are spot on with the motorcycle riding. I have been all over the place on mine for 43 year's but people have their heads up their ass anymore.
I still love the 7.3! My '95 F-350 crewcab has 547,000 miles on the clock and has never been apart. There have been little things, like oil cooler o-rings and a couple of water pumps. I put injectors in it 280,000 miles ago and it's probably ready for another set, but it still gets 19-20 mpg highway weighing 8,000 pounds with all my tools in it. What a workhorse!
😂😂 I was wondering why you were going to have those trucks have a pull off. But like you said...”Homie don’t play dat”. Haven’t heard that in years. 😂😅 Classic!!
is that black headliner in "spot" factory or aftermarket? if it's aftermarket, around how much would one expect to pay to get a good quality blacked out headliner?
I just love the sound of that 7.3 Powerstroke and it brings back memories for me. I had a 1997 F350 SRW 4X4 Toredor red regular cab,5-speed manual trans with that engine and it was a BEAST. I've kicked myself in the ass 1,000 times for selling that truck because now you can't one that's not beat all to hell that is for sale these days.
Dammit Homi, got me. Seriously would you do a pitfalls, failures and Achilles heal on the 2013 and up 6.7 powerstrokes!!! Please, they have been out for long enough that y’all must have a opinion. Maybe throw in some longevity add on that really work and not a bunch of BS. I use Archoil but that’s all I know some stuff just looks like snake oils. Thanks keep up the good work- Friday
When you were giving spot throttle why is the truck making the howling noise like it is, my 7.3 does the same thing when you get into the throttle at higher rpm, and I cannot find anything on if it’s fine or somethings going out.
I have both 1999 ford and 1991 dodge 5.9 dodge . I have over million mile on it . Still running strong . Start very easy . Ford i have has more leg room . Lot more maintance to it .
I remember an ad from way back for the Dodge/Cummins that said to be careful when you cross a state line that you're not pulling the entire state with you!
I have a 7.3 thing wont start on the key when its damp out but runs perfect and no other problems. What's the most cost effective solution? Leaky windshield is just a hunch Ive heard about it from some local mechanics. Any help in the right direction would be great!

"I rode in a Duramax once and felt a little sick afterward (burp)" LMAO!
that was after he swallowed
Those are the real powerhouses 6.6 lb7s are monsters
Haha
Duramax must have got air sick ,its too smooth
I laughed my ass off when you were driving that 12 valve. " and there she is... outa ass" haha
"Say hi to your dodge brother! Beep Beep!" I'm dying. Hahahahaha
Nick Zylstra I do the same thing when I see another first gen driving lol
It's more like children or grandchildren or Great grandchildren considering how old this one is
12 valve Cummins and 7.3 powerstroke both great engines
Worthless test 10 years diff on trucks .
Larry Sheftel fords idi engine of the dodges era was just as dependable with a little less power is all.
Heavy engines with pretty mild power is key to success...there is a reason ford medium duty trucks have same 6.7 derated to 300hp with a 250k warranty
And both engines made fuck all power

I know right I could listen to my 7.3 idle all day long love the single shot injectors
Kinda sounds like an old pocket watch but louder lol
Indeed it sounds like a truck
The sound of a 99-02 7.3 idle makes the hairs on my neck stick up. 👀
"Like fitting my big ass into a sardine can" Hilarious
I seriously had said to myself "Is he really gonna chain these trucks together!? Doesn't he yell at people for that" You had me for a second.

Happy Gilmore well dodge did make some good gas trucks back in the day but the cummins engine really put them on the map.

Happy Gilmore they should've put a de-bored, de-stroked international dt466 in the fords they're i6 and very reliable in medium duty trucks
cody colina seriously? Second Gen was the ugliest of the three, not to mention the least reliable
yep lets do it!
Agreed with you on the K&N. Been told the same thing about letting dirt get in the turbo, but have yet to see any issues.
K&N is the worst filter ever. I will never run one ever again even on my snowmobile.
Same here! I have no issues really
Had me all the way to the end. An enjoyable 18 minute ride. Thanks !
The sound of that truck brought me back a few years to my old plow truck. That truck was great. Thanks for the video
I love the sound of Spot. I don't think I could keep my foot off the accelerator with that sound!
I could have a beer with you
love your videos keep up the good work!!
Great video bud! Informative as always but very entertaining! Thanks!
I saw spot heading down I-20 east mid June. Showed the wife and said I watched your videos. Pretty cool. Keep up the good work.
cool video! It's nice to see a comparison video that isn't just constant bashing of one make/model. I don't know much about the dodges so I learned a fair bit.
😂😂😂 homy dont play that lol keep up the great work bill cant wait for the next vid
Quite possibly the best video you have ever made.
I can’t beat a 7.3L. I grew up w/ them esp. in school buses and I remember them being used in old U-haul trucks whenever we moved and I just loved that noise SO much!
Your commentary from start to finish made this one of your best videos hahaha!!!!
I drive a 6.4 daily as a work truck and it started making the same high pitch whine that this 7.3 is making. I had to turn it in to fleet.
"I suppose you want me to go ahead and denicrate myself" Hilarious
Loved this! Looking forward to your next video! Shits & giggles or business, doesn’t matter to me! Have enjoyed your videos over the years 👍🏻
R.I.P. Ron
Could you please make a few videos on the obs 94.5-97 7.3. Little bit closer to the 12 valve
6:12sec. Check out how long he holds the key/starter engaged. He's definitely not used to the 5.9 instant starting of those models.
I really enjoyed the ride! Thanks for the video.
whats a good tune for a 1995 7.3l powerstroke pulling 16k lbs equipment trailer on flat grounds of indiana?
I am typing this comment on the floor because I've laughed myself right out of my chair- that ending is freaking priceless.
Thank you so much for all your videos!!! 👍
Nice classic video! I'm a big fan
Do you have a video removing a cylinder head on a obs 7.3
Great video Bill, never thought i would see you in a dodge. Homie lol
That ending was hilarious lol :)
Got a question, when you showed the inside of spot, I notice that the center console was from a 08-10 or whatever year model truck. my question is will those particular center console fit in an 05 ford superduty with captain front seats? or what do you have to do to make it work?
Got some good laughs out of this one. Keep it up!
I was about to say at the end, I can't believe he's doing that! LOL I remember the video where you had to fix a truck someone did that with.
Thanks for the laughs Bill 👍🏻
Hey bill I have a question about the 7.3 powerstroke I got in a wreck and the front axle slid back and crunched the oil pan in and I was wondering can I replace it without pulling the motor and what would be the easiest and best way to do so
Damnit Bill, it's Cummins not Cummings! Lol, but I loved the truck pull at the end!
Love the vids Bill.....any way I could get an autograph on a shirt or something? Your vids have saved me alot of time and $$ over the years

I love how clean that 12v is, new valve covers probably doesn’t leak a drop of oil
What u think in Ats transmissions on a 7.3
lol "you got sick a little bit" you crack me up man
Any other Ford guys laughing at all the hate comments from the Dodge owners? Lol
Not laughing when 6.0 cost 12 grand to fix. Towed in by the dodge
@@larrysheftel8380 boy, we're talking about the 7.3 here
Larry Sheftel i guess the 6.0 is pushing to much power out of the factory. Replace the head bolts pussy.

can we have contrast of spot vs a stockish 6.0?

how come you dont have the tow mirrors on it since its towing most of the time ?

Did the Flexsteel seats replace the seats in the back of the bed of the Dodge? Did you do the upgrade? Dodge=Avoid
Another great video Bill
When you were giving spot throttle why is the truck making the howling noise like it is, my 7.3 does the same thing when you get into the throttle at higher rpm, and I cannot find anything on if it’s fine or somethings going out.
Nice vid especially the ending lmfao!
This video was released a while back. Have you guys rolled over the odometer yet on Spot?
you're funny AF. glad you're doing something you clearly love lol. it shows.
Love the channel, I live in southern il did you grow up In central Il.

Believe it or not I had this same issue and changed the CPS. Disconnect batteries FIRST !
You can take just the ground off both batteries is good.
Disconnect the CPS (Crankshaft Position Sensor) wire and put di-electric grease in the connector and
reassemble first. Reconnect batteries LAST ! If this doesn't cure it proceed to the next step. Word to the wise.
Always carry a spare CPS and tools to change it in the glovebox. (10mm 1/4" drive socket and ratchet
and small flat blade screwdriver to pry back CPS connector. Don't pry to hard it will break ! ).
Disconnect the batteries FIRST ! Wait a while (20 min) then disconnect the ECU connectors
and WD40 them. Both sides. Don't take much, you're not soaking a rusty bolt/nut. Inspect for corrosion.
Brush with nylon (toothbrush) Both sides.
Let that soak awhile.
Disconnect the main firewall connector and soak WD40 here.
Inspect for corrosion. Brush with nylon. After soaking, Brush all connector sides again then get a large
tube of di-electric grease and lightly coat both firewall connector and ECU connectors both sides and
reassemble.
Connecting your batteries LAST !
Your damp no start condition should be cured.
