Happy Gilmore Reference made my day!! lol
I thought it fit the situation well hahaha
me being a mess loosing sockets I know that 8mm 12point socket fiasco 🤯 anyone in the comments want good advice def use 12point 8mm 1/2"drive impact socket and large impact on the old exaust side
It is ALWAYS the last bolt! Never fails😂
Every time haha
KC TURBOS - " simply the best "
Great video. Sometimes those have dings but more often grinder marks on the fins from the factory. That’s how they balance it. So if you see grinding on the top of the fins don’t freak out. Also 5/16 x 25.4 = 7.94 Let’s call it an 8mm.
Those tricky bolts that gave you trouble in the center cartridge like to back out some times. Thats what happen to mine. Then it screws up your cartridge and a bunch of other stuff. Great video, keep up the good work.
Just saved enough up to order the rebuild kit! I’ll be following your videos on tearing down my turbo when I get the kit!
Great Video and That why every one can see how turbo's are rebuilt.
Real nice looking new wheel.
Awesome video, Thanks!
Just the info I needed.
There is a 16th inch gap that I don’t think supposed to be there behind the compressor housing plate. I wish I could send you a picture. Something is leaking oil around the turbo. Like the two bolts that hold it down to the pedestal have some oil on them in that area.
Absolutely love your videos man. Just ordered this set up because of this one and I’m pretty excited! Thanks for working so hard on your channel!
"Just a little tap, tap, tap-a-roo" . LOL!
same bolt is causing me issues 😂. love your videos.
Glad you like them!
Great video buddy
Been Watching you for a while you make really good content
I have watched many videos you have done and I must say you do an excellent job.
I’m really glad to hear that! Thanks!
I’m really enjoy the way you explain
Glad to hear that man. Thanks 👍🏻
Can I Barrow your 10mm, I can't find mine😂
PB blaster.... a mans best friend when working on cars. Besides my '99 7.3 I'm restoring a 1960 Triumph TR3 that's been in my family for 50 years. I should have bought stock in PB blaster hahahaha. Thanks for all your videos they've helped me a ton!
It can definitely be a life saver!
Patients is key, I would of broke that bolt. Lol another great video
I still don’t own an extractor kit so that helped with the patience haha
@@LivingOnWheels , I've gotten pretty good at welding new nuts on broken studs. Lol
manual impact drivers are nice for stubborn bolts.
Well, mine wasn't all that hard to break free. Although I don't have little dainty soy boy wrist either... 😂
Probably never broken your neck and had paralysis in your hands and most of the rest of your body either I’d imagine.
When's the part 2 video. I need to open mine up and inspect.
Just go I took off the enter cooler pipes and I have oil on both sides
Should be up tomorrow 👍🏻
Hey bud, how you doing? I rebuilt my turbo about six months ago. It was great for a while still is great. It’s been sounding funny and then I have a lot of oil in both tubes.
I’d probably start by checking for shaft play and maybe look for oil in the down pipe
8mm is ½ of a thousandth of an inch larger than ⁵/¹⁶s. Just for future reference...lol
Very nice
Kroil user here
Go Beavs!
Dam strait haha
Just tap it in lmao 🤣😂😆
I have the factory Garrett turbo I want to rebuild it but mine is a 95 and I think that goes 92 through 96
Real question is if it’s a powerstroke or an idi
Try Kimball midwest penetrating oil
Haven't heard of it before. I'll have to look it up
I have a 01 7.3. But I don't have a intigram account. Can I still be in the drawing.
Unfortunately not
I'm in the same situation. I don't get into the whole "social media stuff." That's really a bummer for us that don't have IG. I thought about creating an account just to enter a chance to win. I'm in the middle of a decent overhaul on my 2001 F450 7.3. I got my turbo taken off right now to be able to replace the donut gaskets. That rebuilt turbo sure would make my life a lot easier. Anyway I'll carry on with my day I appreciate the videos. 👍🏽
@@jusmike1983 yep i'm in the same situation no ig and I don't really want to make one just to turn around and delete it after the giveaway win or lose but congrats to whoever wins tho 👍
It sucks a little. But good luck to someone that gets it.
@@TheFordf350superduty Me also no ig I don't have Facebook either all that social media stuff isn't for me. TH-cam is all I have lol. My 278000 mile 7.3 could use a fresh turbo
Ive been stuck on getting the wheels off i put vice grips on the exhaust side but they just pop off no matter how tight i get it on
Are you turning it the right way. If I remember correctly, they are reverse threaded.
do i rebuild mine or just wait it out a little bit and just get new turbo 🤷🏻♂️
Gary M I’d say it depends on your overall power levels that you’re shooting for
I just purchased a 99 f450 7.3 with 6 speed.
Its perfect for my line of work as a brick mason since it has a 9 foot flatbed.
It has a 4" exhaust and what looks to be a K&N intake.
Im curious what mods i could do for more power hauling heavy loads that won't sacrifice reliability?
I had a 2000 f350 i purchased new and this 99 already runs stronger. Probably has slightly lower gears which helps but it seems to have more power to begin with.
Not looking for a hot rod, just wantinng better performance while towing.
Some mild tunes would make a world of difference for towing. Nice thing is you don’t have to go crazy with it. I’m sure a turbo could help some but not really necessary.
@LivingOnWheels I hauled a load of stone the other day, the trailer I use is only sixteen feet so not very heavy. The payload was 9000 lbs.
Overall I probably wasn't over 20,000 lbs gross but was very happy with how it pulled going through some mountain passes.
I only paid $4000 for this truck which was a steal in my opinion.
It only has 135,000 miles and is in great condition still.
The f350 that I had before had 350,000 miles when I sold it, no idea how how many it has now? That was ten years ago.
Can you suggest what tunes might be good?
I'm thinking if I put a little money into this truck as far as performance it would be even better.
There's a couple exhaust brakes I'm looking at, are there any negative effects using those?
Thanks for responding to my previous post.
@@goldentrunnell7450 As far as I am concerned the best route to go with tuning these trucks is the PHP Hydra. I actually did a video on it not too long ago if you check out the channel page.
@LivingOnWheels I did watch that video, that's the one I've been leaning towards.
I'm 61 so the technology side of things is a little over my head! I have a couple VW beetles I tinker with and could tell you a lot about those. Haha...
The one I was driving today is a 2110cc compared to the 1200cc it originally came with. Couterweighted cranks, big valve heads and dual Weber carbs all make sense to me.
Switching out electronics and pushing buttons to modify power in your engine doesn't make as much sense in my old brain so I like watching videos like yours.
Thanks again for your input.
Gonna be a great video, my 2001 f250 7.3 stock turbo is sounding different. Not sure what the problem is most likely the turbo is taking a dump. Would a rebuild be better than buying a aftermarket turbo?
Both are good options. Mainly depends on the power levels you are hoping for. If you just want to keep it stock or just a tune then this kit would be a great route
You can keep your turbo, I have the full kit myself with the wicked wheel 2 and waste gate from diesel lite no more factory waste gate, so I can adjust up to 40 pounds if I want. My kit didn't come with instructions thats why I'm watching
I have questions about the turbo on a 1994 f-super got the 7.3 I’m looking to strip the truck and make show quality how can I upgrade the turbo on that year
That should be a regular OBS powerstroke so any of the stuff for those would work. Best option would be a T4 kit or a superduty system swap for the intercooler.
How do you get the cap off? I’m having a hard time.
If your talking about the middle dust cover I think I just bopped it with a mallet. Was a long time ago though. Hard to remember.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the late 99-03 turbo won't fit a early 99 without the pedestal and up pipes ☺ maybe I'm wrong Idk lol
That is correct and I believe intake plenums as well.
@@LivingOnWheels Oh yeah I forgot about those they are quite a bit smaller on early ones I have 3 7.3 motors in storage a 02 a 97 and a 98 build date the 02 and 98 are parts but the 97 is 100% complete all the way down to the wire harness :-)
When you heated it up for the last bolt. How did you do that? Torch or stick it in the oven?
I used a propane torch.
Anyone got any discount codes for the KC Turbo page?
Thought the 7.3's had vgt turbos?
Nope. Those went in wit the 6.0s
It sounds good. Is it KC Turbo?
Yessir
Hey buddy which website did you use for your instructions I’d like to have that if you can
I used the instructions off of Riffraffs website.
@@LivingOnWheels thank you sir
can that turbine be combined with a wicked wheel 2?
Im not sure.
It can, but it is not recommended.
Thanks for video👍
Will this upgraded turbo need a tuner for it to work well?
It would work just fine on a stock truck and I'm sure would still provide gains but is definitely not needed stock.
@@LivingOnWheels thank you. I am converting my SD turbo over to the balanced KC and can’t wait to see what difference it will make, and I do have upgraded air intake and exhaust with a super chip tuner already.
Love your channel bro👍
@@bretforfar6582 nice! I’m sure you’ll like it and they sound great too!
Balls
You not latching your draws on your tool box bothers me so much lol
KrazedKoala haha makes it quicker to cycle through the drawers
@@LivingOnWheels I've almost tipped a box over having to many draws open lol.
KrazedKoala yeah I do make sure not to have my heavier drawers open at the same time.
Still giving away turbos? Lol
Haha unfortunately not yet. I would love to do this more at some point.
