Love the color and the wheels. A man proud of his truck and should be. Power and reliability always cost money.

Modifying a 7.3 is definitely expensive for the power you get out of it, but no new Diesel will put a smile on my face like an old 7.3 doing Mach 420 down the road

@sashuni1064 Жыл бұрын

Building tf out of a 7.3 is also way cheaper in the long run than a new diesel

Very cool truck, always enjoy seeing your videos. There's not many dedicated 7.3 channels out there. I like how you're so passionate about the 7.3 and enjoy sharing it with others. You've got a unique thing going and your truck is a very nice example. I enjoy learning about the modifications you can do to the 7.3 to gain more power. I'd be interested in hearing about your high pressure oil pump assuming it's aftermarket. Keep up the great work!

Love my 200,000 mile 1997 F350 Crew Cab 7.3 I’ve owned for 13 years. Put in a Banks Intercooler, 160/0 Injectors with 1023 tunes on my Hydra, trans upgrades, for less than a down payment on a new truck and it does everything a newer one can do.

The feeling when you floor it is priceless though! Awesome video I too have a 7.3 in the obs and did so for my love of the body style. For now it has the baby swamps, kc balanced assembly, and custom tuning through a hydra. No where near the ponies your pushing out but it all came on the truck when I purchased it, so it's fun enough until I go t4. I will admit I'm pretty rough on it and has held up so far as well.

That’s a hell of a lot cheaper than my 6.7 Powerstroke. On my OBS it might go 400hp and I’m into that about 8k but I have a ZF5 so my trans cost is substantially lower. There is something about the 7.3 that just gives you satisfaction unlike any other platform.

I have a bone stock '96 FSeries 7.3L Powerstroke I bought in 2019 that had 26,200 original miles on it and just turned 29,500 miles last week. I had to have the automatic transmission rebuilt because the firedept I bought it from got the thing stuck a few times on Camp Attabury helping put out grass fires and were hard on that trans. I have no idea what I want to do with it other than get more top end out of it. The thing can tow an oil tanker and never break a sweat! It's got Dana 70's with 5:13's.

I love the truck . Diesel arent cheap like gassers. I allwayd liked the older ford's even the newer ones are nice but love the cummins platform . I have 3 rams. Diesels 89 01 08. I don't like the dodge truck so much but a 1000hp fuel only is easy and not as expensive as other trucks. The only thing throws me off about new trucks is having to remove the cab to do any major work.

@Long-nd8bq 7 ай бұрын

$30K over the years for your passion isn't as bad as it seems. For $30K you could go buy a stock high mileage newer truck but then you'd have to wonder about how it was maintained, and it would most likely be stock. I like seeing these older trucks being loved and modified. You definitely have more fun with this than spending $30K on another used truck.

I’d say a set of 160/80% or a 205/30% with a drop in KC turbo would be solid. I always recommend a T4 mount turbo system but they’re a little pricey. Just opens you up to more turbo options!
