I had a 1991 F-350 witth the 7.3L, but not turbo. This engine was the IHI and it had zero computers and 100% old school. It. Ran. Forever. I sold it with almost 400k miles as I couldn't get the body panels to replace the rust. The engine lived on well past the body.
I think this could be a great series, not just for comparing to modern equivalents, but for showing the maintenance and what you can do with this older 90s early 00s trucks towing/offroad roadtrip ect.
The OBS Powerstroke's automatic transmission was its weak spot. A friend of mine had a '97 Powerstroke F-250 4WD extended cab, short box with the manual transmission. It was his daily driver and his towing vehicle. He kept that truck in absolutely perfect condition and put over 350K miles on it. The truck was still in pristine condition when he passed away. His son inherited it and still owns it.
What a channel, what a bunch of guys, what a funny dream...Mr Truck yelling at your dentist 🤣 I swear this my favourite TH-cam channel!
The ZF5 and ZF6 transmissions were strong and were more durable than the E4OD in the OBS trucks. I would say "losing" 1500 lbs of tow rating isn't applicable to real world towing. I have a ZF6 on my SD 7.3 and it is stout.
Need more content with Roman, Nathan, Mr. Truck and the gear grinding shifter Andre.
I Ratteled all over the country with a hot shot rig with an ol' 7.3 powerstroke...loud but you could not stop that old school bus motor..changed oil and batteries/ brakes/tires...and that was it.....forever......motor outlives the body, !!
These two make a great podcast team. Love the OBS.
Yea, they have good banter. Nathan is looking cool with the shaved head no hat 🧢 look with the squared up beard.
My dad put in 35 years as a lineman at KAMO Electric co-op in SW Missouri. He had a lot of company trucks. One of them was year one of the IH diesels in Fords: a 6.9 in a 1983 F-250. With 4wd and a utility bed loaded with tools this granny low 4 speed truck blew everybody’s mind at the office with 18-21 mpg fuel economy. They kept records. These were real numbers. But it was at 55-60 mph. No 75 mph back in 1982. Oh yeah, 170 hp. I drove every truck in the fleet as a high schooler, my job was keeping them clean. So, was it fast? Compared to the 351W 1981 cab/chassis with a bucket? It was a drag racer. Compared to the smog dog 400 gassers in the other trucks? Same power. Twice the mpg. And it sounded like feeding time at your favorite truck stop. I loved driving it!
Had to edit: it was a 1983 model, but I remember driving it in early Fall 1982. Makes sense.
Hey guys! So glad to see Nathan back! Cant wait to see the content you guys come out with utilizing this beauty of a truck!
Did Nathan ever leave?
sure, Alex Jones lite sure adds nothing
@rnt45t15 you add nothing to the comments
@@joecool9739Nathan wasn’t on the last Talkin Trucks podcast because he was out reporting on the new Santa Fe.
that was my favorite body style fords done. ive got a family 99 powerstroke crew 4x4 that gets 16-17mpg at 70-75mph on ko2s. i hate the k02s because theyre loud and they did cost a few mpg but it wasnt my choice to put them on there. if i try and keep up with tx traffic and do 85 its about 13mpg. its still going strong at 250k miles. it should have more but it hit about 220k and got parked about a decade ago.
0:18 ole pegg'n legg'n of ZipTies&BaisPlys wood bee proud
After having an emission fault on my 19' Cummins truck that couldn't be fixed for 3 weeks due to parts availablity, in June I had to take my 280k miles 93' OBS Ford 7.3 idi on a 4600 mile road trip. It was not without some drama. Ended up having to replace 2 TPS sensor on that trip. But otherwise it was a beast. Even went over Monarch Crest in it. Bought a trailer in Utah and pulled it back to Virginia because I was tired of being cramped in the standard cab and also picked up a 3rd motorcycle while in Moab. Changed the oil just before leaving. Never added any. Used a half quart in 4600 miles. Not unhappy with that at all. Not originally as powerful as the powerstrokes but can be improved a lot simply. Not hating the Powerstroke at all here, just letting people know the earlier trucks are not terrible either.
I had a 1989 F350 7.3 IDI. One hundred and eighty horsepower. It could barely get out of its own way. I put a complete Banks Turbo system and Banks exhaust on it. It ran okay after that. I drive at 5,000 feet elevation and above. Without the turbo, it was a chore to drive.
I wish I had bought a 1999 Ram 2500 Cummins standard cab with the HO and 6-speed manual when I worked on a Dodge dealership in college as I could have gotten it for $500 over invoice.
Cool truck 🛻, I think it’s one of the last vehicles to have side vent windows. I’d love to see ya get and test a Toyota T100/ Nissan hardbody or any of the old small trucks from the 70’s & 80’s. 🤙
2004 toyota hilux here in Australia still has quater windows
That’s cool, we miss out on the Toyota trucks not made in the USA ( or Mexico) because of an import tax on trucks. But I saw the TopGear episode where Clarkson hamster and may try to destroy a Hilux and it keep running 😂.
I make well into the sixth figure mark on income. I could go buy a new truck of any kind tomorrow if I wanted. I have a 94 IDI 7.3 0BS 4X4 Extended cab, long bed.. And a 99 F350 7.3 Power stroke 4 door Dually 4X4. I'm so thankful for these trucks. I really enjoy watching your GREAT video. Please keep up the good work. Stay safe, and God-bless you always 🙏
I have a 1990 with the 7.5 c6. The c6 is a 3 speed. At 60ish I'm at appx 2700 rpm with 355 gears. I get 6.5 mpg. So going to a 5 speed manual to increase mpg.
Ford used inverted leaf in the front of the TTB and solid axle if it’s lifted usually it’s add a leaf and or more flat to curved leafs
Love my 4xe. I can get around town without using any gas and still travel long distances and it takes seconds to fill up and get going again. Average fill up is once every 1.25 months and I have no problem filling up with premium gas.
Guys I had a f250 just like that f250 XLT is manual transmission extended cab for work and to tow a camper 26ft 6500 pond and boat just 3500 pond.
For going to work a 100 miles a day getting 23.5 mpg also diesel at that time under $1.00 34 gallons 700+ miles guys the aftermarket radio is better than market radio in the 90s we did that all vehicles change the radio out. At the local dealerships in Louisiana you had a choice of radio put in the vehicle aftermarket radio put in.
ULSD was introduced in 2007 for 2008 model year vehicles. The CP4 fuel pump is a poor design. It relies on the lubrication properties of the fuel. If you have poor fuel quality or a little water in it, it disintegrates sending shards of metal through the entire fuel system. So all the way from injectors, lines and fuel tank. Piss poor design. S&S was able to design and build a replacement pump that fits right into 6.7 Fords. It won’t blow up because of poor fuel.
I bought a '96 F Series 350 Quigley 7.3L Powerstroke in 2019 that had 26,200 original miles on it. Today it sits in my drive with 29,800 miles on it. It will easily tow and haul far more than the numbers you are talking about in this video and I would say it woukd probably tow as much as a new diesel made today and haul more than a new one. My fuel mileage is dreadful though with this E4OD 4 speed transmission. What in the WORLD was Ford thinking?!!! OMG!! I have got to swap that thing out and I just had this OEM transmission rebuilt because it had been abused. So now I am looking at either a Ford 6 speed, an Allison, or a newer more modern Ford.
By the way, my mileage is only about 10-12 mpg.
Thanks for mentioning me on the purchase day lol
As far as fuel economy between auto and stick was a wash. 3.55 gears they would get between 13 mpg. to 16 mpg. from the factory. 4.10 you probably won't get 15. The 7.3 idi non turbo in a van with 350,000 and a transmission that needed a solenoid pack (it would lock and unlock the torque converter) would run between 13 to 15 mpg. in a commercial delivery setting. Running a 5 ton International chassis with the second gen 7.3 powerstroke with a 12,000 lb, tare weight and using it for delivery work it would get 11 mpg.
Explorer hybrids in our Police fleet average half the fuel usage of other gasoline patrol vehicles.
The 2020 hybrid Explorers have many issues. All of ours have major issues. Need wiring harnesses replaced. Ford quotes 40 hours of labor per vehicle. Most of ours are out of warranty.
@jackylsmith8138 If they are out of warranty, sounds like they are going to be dumped at auction.
It makes sense to have Police vehicles be hibrids due to all the idling
I've got a 1995 F250 7.3 PowerStroke. Runs like a tank. Slow, and doesn't start under 40 degrees outside, but it's a tank.
Do you have a plug in block heater? My father in-law had one on his 2003 7.3L CC dually F-350.
Mine starts at -20°F below zero. And I don't use the block heater above 15°F. If your glow plugs are working it shouldn't have an issue.
you guys should get imported JDM diesel truck. I have the 1992 Land Cruiser with the 4.2L turbo diesel in Denver Colorado.
Thumbs up because it's not another gaslighting EV video.
hey boys,
i think the chev/gmc 4.3 vortec is definitely a legend. it was purposely built for trucks😊
shane
Had a Chevy LUV, in the early 80s...LUV meant "Light Utility Vehicle ".
The best 7.3 you can get is a 1999 NBS. Respect to the OBS but they pale in comparison to a NBS
Agree I've had both the 99 up Super Duty is twice the truck
Excellent Rush shirt 🍻
Can't wait until you guys start raggin' on the venerable 6.5. Regarding the low sulfur diesel. IT SUCKS. I have to add stanadyne additive to every tank in order to keep my Injection Pump from blowing up. If you've got an old diesel that was originally designed for sulfur diesel then you MUST put in the additive or kiss goodbye to your injection pumps.
The 6.2s and 6.5s were decent engines for their time when used within their design parameters as a light duty engine. Their fuel efficient design made sense in the early 80s with the 1979 oil crisis still fresh in everyone’s minds.
@@holdenc3082 Nobody believes me when I tell people that my H1 gets 14-15mpg. There's a reason the 6.5 is popular in the marine world... at about 2500rpm it just sips fuel.
Test a F-250 with a 6.0 diesel. Everyone says they are trash!
So far I’ve had 2 Mavericks with the 2.0. The first one had an issue with idling, which eventually caused a 4WD unavailable along with the drive modes and reduced power. Only when I would idle it for 5 minutes or more IN the heat but I was able to drive it long distances and higher speeds without it ever happening. Took a few diagnostics and the issue was fixed with a rerouting some cable under the truck. Only got rid of it because the Tremor came out.
🌮
Congrats 🎉🎉👏👏 guys your thoughts are very upper and very instructiiveness, and elevated! . Once second Congrats 👏 👏 🎉 🎉 🥈🥈 ! . Great Jobs ! . .
I have a 97-F250 7.3l Powerstroke with a manual transmission. At 70mph I'll get 17mpgs
Not a Ford, but back in ‘96, the Dodge , Cummins powered trucks received a 20-30 hp upgrade, but only the manual transmission trucks, received this upgrade. Automatic transmission trucks did not get this upgrade, as the automatic in ghe Dodges, had a very high failure rate. I remember really being bummed out , when I learned My new truck didn’t get that extra hp. After all, 20-30hp was a lot back then.
How about, "Old Goat". 'goes over any terrain.'
Low sulfur is Less lubercating I use cetane booster
I don't remember what year it was but the first Ford diesel ambulance we got did not have a turbo, what a dog it was. With a good headwind we could barely get to 50mph! It was the big van chassis with a large modular box on it so it was as aerodynamic as a large brick. So glad when the next one had a turbo.
Yeah. The IDI was 180 horsepower. A real pig without a turbo.
We really complained about the speed and the County Commissioners pretty much ignored us until one of them was injured in a farm accident. It was a windy day and we had a long way to go. He had a different point of view after that:)@@buckhorncortez
We know HP and the torque numbers.
Does anyone know what the towing numbers were? Bumper and gooseneck?
Volkswagen diesel pick up
Ford are king with the Powerboost hybrid truck and the Lightning EV F150 truck!
Time for a 7.3 Excursion
Tfl question please I seen the video the other day saying the nissan titan is being killed off and now your saying that it will live on can you please elaborate on that as to what info is correct
Being knocked out summer 2024.
Prius with a million miles? How many times have they had to replace the batteries?
I had a 2019 Nissan Frontier SV 4.0L 5spd auto,12-14 mpg city, 18-20 highway. Just couldn’t afford to drive it a har ago when gas was $4.799 per gal. Traded it for a Toyota Camry hybrid that gets 56-58 mpg in city and 47.8 mpg at 75 mph.
Low sulfer diesel was started around 2007
Welcome Bangladesh
First or second generation Lightning!!!
LUV= Light Utility Vehicle
Wait the Titan is surviving? Didn’t you just make a video of it going out next year??
Altimeter GPS is not necessary in my area because I live in Ohio and there is no elevation where I live. 🙂
what about ford 300 straight 6?
I think y’all need to get a Nissan titan 4x4 s model
7:31 Modern diesels are clean because of all the emissions crap on them not because of the fuel. There is a DPF (diesel particulate filter), SCR and regen (where it injects fuel into DPF and burns [smells like jet exhaust] out the particulates trapped in the filter). Must be able to drive for a while, so short trips are bad for diesels.
That is incorrect. The DPF/SCR/DEF emission systems will be DESTROYED by high-sulfur fuel. That is why Ultra-Low-Sulfur-Diesel (ULSD) fuel was mandated in 2007--the same year that DPF's became mandatory on most U.S.-sold diesel vehicles.
Quieter sucks. Nothing beats the sound of the old 7.3. I mean it’s a large engine. Let it sound like one. Plus I love the manual swap. Way to go on a great truck. Needs to be regeared, but sounds great as it is.
Jeep Gladiator 4xe could be the only way it competes against all the other mid sizers
White Stallion!
Watch the transmission if it has an E4OD it will go till about 125k and go out. I had that same truck and that was my situation and the same with everyone I know.
Looks like that's already happened to this truck and they swapped a ZF5 into it.
I’m sure it’s a fun truck, but I think the word “legend” (and its variants) gets tossed around a little too much these days, kind of like “genius”. The Willys Jeep was a legend. The VW Beetle was a legend. The Ford Mustang was a legend. I’m not sure this truck really is.
andre rules
Have you guys had a 12V 5.9 Cummins form the 94-98 glory years?
Did you watch the video? Kase has a 94, they literally said in the beginning of the video lol
You guys want a Chevy K5 Blazer, GMC
Jimmy or maybe a square body Suburban for your next vintage purchase.
mpg?
Any significant number of plug-in hybrids begs the question; where will the power come from without building new power generating stations, and WHAT would the much needed new power generating stations be powered by? Natural gas, nukes, coal??? It's great that the oem's want to produce plug-in hybrids, it's another story about suppling the actual electricity to make it happen. Home solar could help out but not everyone owns their own home for that to happen. I have over an acre and a half to put up solar, but not everyone has that, or their own roof for that matter. It's great that people are open to at least hybrids, but until our national power grid is updated, all this is moot.
1995 Land Cruiser review… 1995 Isuzu Rodeo
It blows my mind that people really think for is recycling 30 year old engines😂. I had someone ask me the same thing. I bet they also think the 5.0 is from the 80s…….
The fast lane truck used to be interesting to watch...
Yeah yeah, we saw the other video too. The Cummins is better.
After getting my 2020 sierra 3.0 ill never buy a gas vehicle again..
You guys need to stop losing money on your vehicle purchases. Sell them for a profit, and keep the train going.
Nothing overly great about that thing I had a 97 99 and a 2000 the 2000 was the best one of the bunch but constantly replacing the fuel heater and valve cover wiring we ran it to 550000 on the same transmission . The 99 same plus one tran. The 97 was a ratting crap can

Patreon needs to send Andre Tums instead of money, every podcast he's chocking on his own vomit.
Ya 17 k for an OBS RIP OFF should have paid 9
These two sound like democrats pushing all the epa crap the new diesels come with..... first thing the vast majority of people do when the warranty ends is delete all that crap so they can actually be getting the proper mpg and performance.
