Thanks man! I have a 95 7.3 F250. I thought it was my rear main as well. Now I know what all that oil is coming from. I haven’t been able to get underneath there yet, but from what I can see it has to be it. I Do all my own work on my pick up. I’ve had it since 2000, and I will be hitting you up and watching your videos.
I've got the exhaust butterfly in my 99 7.3 psd wired in parallel to a toggle switch on the stick of the ZF6 trans. In 5th gear it will hold 55mph down a 6 mile long 7% grade with a 3,500lb camper on the back and not touch the brakes once. It's not a true exhaust brake but its easy to do and pretty effective. Thanks for the video, i'm keeping my eye on my turbo for oil leaks so i can rebuild it on time.
Ironic enough here, just picked up a '97 F350 7.3 Utility box truck obs. This vid's gonna come in handy since my turbo is quite nasty looking haha. Hope your 7.3 is going well sir.
Damn man I just so happened I'm fixing to do the same thing got oil on passenger side of motor checked back of oil pan checked oil dipstick tube mount both not leaking looked up oil coming from top so here we go thanks man you made it look easy that means I'm going to cuss right.
Finally I'll leave a comment. As others say. You go into detail. Yes you do. No bs just say it like it is. I'm in Texas . I'll bring my van and don't worry it's not to bad just need it to start in mornings. I'm sure the tank needs dropped it is a 2003 e350 7.3 with only 400k on it. I just pulled off original starter. Don't trade them in keep them. Have someone rebuild it. But no kidding that thing is starting to need a few things everything is original unless I changed it. Thank you for the videos always good to see.
Hello Stephen, you have a lot of great videos, I've watched them all. I've also seen you on another video where some guys were working on a shipping container, that was also a great video. you guys were having a blast. However I've watched a lot of videos on how to fix or repair the 7.3 Diesel, but I have not seen one video that would shed any light on the problem I'm having. I have oil coming out of my exhaust manifold, I've replaced the Injector cups and the O-rings on all four injectors on the driver side and it still smokes. can you give me an idea on what it might be ? thanks for all of your videos. I've run my van with the exhaust off so I know its not the turbo. Thanks again
All the oil goes to the fuel tank after about 15 minutes running good. Changed mechanical fuel pumpNew o-Rings and shimmed the armature on the injectors All injector cups look good.any any suggestions appreciated
Had an old 7-3 IDI that have that valve when I first got into diesels and it used to function like an automatic Jake brake LOL still works the same way so nobody ever repaired it but if you didn't know how it worked it's screwed with you you would let off the throttle when we put a standard transmission behind it and it was an instant exhaust brake not Jake brake and in second and first year would almost lock the tires up
Hey Stephan, what engine creeper is that you are using? Is it adjustable? I have 500k into my spinal injuries n could sure use something like that. I can only work for a short time before I can't do anymore work due to pain. Enjoy watching your videos n the South Main Auto as well. Thanks Ty
What is your recommended procedure prep for the first restart of a new/rebuilt turbo? Do you crank the motor with the fuel pump fuse/relay disconnected to get the oil flowing, or ??? Ty
Stephen, question can 2001 7.3 turbo be put on a 1999 7.3. I ask because the 01 has bigger intake camber, then the 1999 does. Other then that they look the same.???
Pretty sure the intake side of the turbo is leaking oil into the intercooler. I understand some is normal, but how much is too much? I see there are no seals on the shaft. Is it just the bushings that prevent/let oil leak out?
That's not what a wastegate does, but ok lol. Also I like my EBPV. In the cold in Colorado it really helps keeping the truck temp warm and I also use it as an exhaust brake simply by putting a switch in sending 12v to the turbo pedestal, so I will never delete mine, on my work truck at least.
Ok Stephen, been watching your very informative videos for awhile now, I got to know where the hell I can get one of those chest creepers so I am not laying over the engine getting jabbed with everything or breaking something.
What did you use to clean your turbo on the parts washer. Mine looks just as black and gunky as that one. I removed it yesterday. I plan on using gunk engine degreaser and a toothbrush and then rinse it with water ? Should I avoid using water ?
It sounds pathetic but I wish there was a long very detailed video about how to clean parts in a parts washer. I was all excited to get my parts washer. I continuously spray parts as I’m brushing them and they get pretty clean, but if I wanted them to look as clean as you made this turbo I think it would take hours.
Why are you worried about someone seeing the EBPV doesn't work? Emissions? Banks makes a straight through and it is 50 state legal so it should not be required. I am still nervous about using the non banks version though.
Other than oil leaking, how can you tell if a Turbo needs repairing? Nothing to base it on, but It "feels" to me like I do not have as much power/torque as I did before. e.g. When pulling a small 10' utility trailer up a hill it downshifts further than I think it used to. My truck is old, it's a 97, but I only have 92k miles on it.
Could be wore injectors. Does it start good in cold weather? If it doesn’t that can be a sign of wore injectors, but can also be bad glow plugs, so not the best test. I see only 92k miles so not likely injectors. Might be starving for fuel, check fuel filter, and screens in fuel tank.
Hi mate 👋 you are a awesome mechanic no matter what a vedeo you show us it's amazing 👏👏👌 a cople days ago my excursión 7.3 not running well 😢 he starts good but a few seconds later he stops and I hearing air leak on turbo zone I heard a blowing on turbo zone looks like that valve it's stuck!!😐😕 I discovered a failure code P0478! now after see your vedeo probably the damm valve sensor are broken?!! can be?!! I would like delete this crap system 🤔 anyone knows why the engine starts good and after a cople seconds he stops?!! thanks I apreciate if someone can help me 👍👍 cheers from North of Norway 🇳🇴
Hey man, ive got a 01 f 250 7.3. It died one day and its been sitting for 2 yrs. Got great fuel pressure, tac is moving when cranking, tried unplugging icp, i put a working hpop in it and it started then died and thats were i gave up. Any suggestions would be great!!
Another suggestion, get a obd2 reader. You can get one that sends info to your phone off Amazon for about $25, it helps to see what your icp, hpop, ect is that might narrow it down. For instance you need 500psi minimum hpop to start, if it's not you can see that on the gauge. The icp% can go up to 40% bone stock when starting, if it's not it could be the icp sensor and so on. Helps alot with diagnosis
I’m replacing the compressor wheel on mine. There’s a lot of debate on whether or not to use an impact to remove and replace the wheel. Judging by your video you’re pro impact 😂
Hey Stephen thanks for the videos I have an opportunity to buy 2002 Ford F250 power stroke four-door XLT 2 Wheel Dr. 112 thousand miles on it very clean $7500 your thoughts
Everyone on TH-cam are full of $?/& if you say you can do everything in 5 hours! You skipped many things you have to do in the whole process. But your information was helpful. But 5 hours......hahaha! You’re dreaming!
I like how you don't leave out the details man, it really helps me understand everything seeing you do it too. Thanks for the videos
This is very helpful for me because I took my turbo apart and it sat for a while. Now my truck is running great. Thanks for the videos
Huge fan of Stephan's videos. Highly detailed and super helpful. Thanks for the amount of time and detail put into your content bro.
Great video, I appreciate the easy simple fixes that I probably forget about. I'm using your videos to create my to-do list for my 7.3. Thanks. 🤠
Never stop making 7.3l vids, thank you.
Thanks man! I have a 95 7.3 F250. I thought it was my rear main as well. Now I know what all that oil is coming from.

universal torque spec. is 1/4 turn before it breaks

Your fast forwards are so on point 😂👏🏻
Awsome video very good info man my co worker has a 7.3 and on slow days I watch you tube and fix his truck thanks for the info great job
Great show👍
Just curious what knife you have on your hip?
Just bought 96 f250 7.3 that's how I found you and you are helping with what I'm doing with it.......
Ironic enough here, just picked up a '97 F350 7.3 Utility box truck obs. This vid's gonna come in handy since my turbo is quite nasty looking haha. Hope your 7.3 is going well sir.
Thank you for a wonderful video
I'm looking for a video showing how to remove fuel filter bowl from 2001 e450-7.3 van style. Tons of truck vids, zero van Vids! Anyone?
Dude where are you. Always enjoy your vids
Thanks for the videos sir
Damn man I just so happened I'm fixing to do the same thing got oil on passenger side of motor checked back of oil pan checked oil dipstick tube mount both not leaking looked up oil coming from top so here we go thanks man you made it look easy that means I'm going to cuss right.

Good info....question: can I fit or mod to fit an 03 7.3 turbo on my early 99?
What was the point of removing the exhaust side hatch ?
Do you have turbo charger kit for hino 268 , 2016 ? If you do I'll need some for my shop . Great video by the way. Thanks a lot
I first used that O ring kit in 1979. Maybe I am old?

Nice knife on your hip
What is the name of your engine creeper?
your the man.
Man you made that up pipe clamp look easy 🤣 I fought with it for 5 hours....
so if your replacing your oil pan do you NOT just do the rear main while your at it?
Had an old 7-3 IDI that have that valve when I first got into diesels and it used to function like an automatic Jake brake LOL still works the same way so nobody ever repaired it but if you didn't know how it worked it's screwed with you you would let off the throttle when we put a standard transmission behind it and it was an instant exhaust brake not Jake brake and in second and first year would almost lock the tires up

Getting ready to rebuild my turbo. This helped a lot! Do you need to rebalance the rotating assembly after you put it back together?
Frequency Commander curious about this too
Nope!
Does removing ebp components bring emissions codes up?
Where do you have your workshop ??
Got any suggestions to get the up pipe clamp off? Who ever had mine apart last screwed me got everything disconnected clamps loosened
What is your recommended procedure prep for the first restart of a new/rebuilt turbo? Do you crank the motor with the fuel pump fuse/relay disconnected to get the oil flowing, or ??? Ty
Stephen, question can 2001 7.3 turbo be put on a 1999 7.3. I ask because the 01 has bigger intake camber, then the 1999 does. Other then that they look the same.???
What brand is that topside creeper? Never seen that one before.
If you have the turbo off on a 7.3 can you jack the engine up high enough to replace the oil pan gasket?
Pretty sure the intake side of the turbo is leaking oil into the intercooler. I understand some is normal, but how much is too much? I see there are no seals on the shaft. Is it just the bushings that prevent/let oil leak out?

Where did you get that red pad to lay on that's awesome. Great video
They’re called high top creepers. Summit racing has one that’s pretty cheap and works really well
@@THESKINIMIN1234 thank you
Can the turbo leak oil into the exhaust?
My impeller is way too tight.... any tips? I'm worried ill dmg the exhaust turbine trying to hold it
Huh I thought you'd need to plug the hole on the opposite side of the back pressure valve. Isn't that an open orifice now?
Ok Stephen, been watching your very informative videos for awhile now, I got to know where the hell I can get one of those chest creepers so I am not laying over the engine getting jabbed with everything or breaking something.

No dipstick tube?
What would this cost at a shop?
I'll send you tomorrow the parts numbers. Thanks
They balance it by shaving the nut on the front of the compressor shaft so u should have marked how that nut was orientated

You cant put it together wrong no need to scratch but i like ur videos
9:58 😂😂 volume up
Good and tight seems to be good for me!😂😂😂
Hey man, ive got a 01 f 250 7.3. It died one day and its been sitting for 2 yrs. Got great fuel pressure, tac is moving when cranking, tried unplugging icp, i put a working hpop in it and it started then died and thats were i gave up. Any suggestions would be great!!
Kenneth Milus check the hpop resevoir is full and doesn’t go empty. Possible lpop issue if the resevoir is empty
@@samuelyi9189 I'll check it again. It was 1" down from top last time I checked. Thanks for help

No need to torque down the impeller very much, the force exerted will do that by itself...I just use a glove and hold it with my hand to get it off.
Looks so much easier than an HX35
I HATE snap rings
What's ironic, never thought I'd ever think of a o ring kit; I'm gonna have invest in that kit for my 7.3 turbo.
Hey Stephen thanks for the videos I have an opportunity to buy 2002 Ford F250 power stroke four-door XLT 2 Wheel Dr. 112 thousand miles on it very clean $7500 your thoughts
Buy it
Oooof you need to balance the rotating assembly befor you assemble it since you didn’t mark it prior to pulling it apart
Measure twice...cut once.
Warmer engine sooner = less wear on mains. Not just about emissions man
the amount of errors in this video is comical
