I’m surprised that your main towing truck has the tiny mirrors.

"I'ma keep spot for the next 175 years" lol love this guy

16:21 looks like someone in the background trying to flag you down before you took off.

Bill H, would be a great idea to find out how to put a Cummins in a 6.4 Powerstroke Ford. I cannot fathom the electrical change for computers etc. as much of the rest of each vehicle's electrical system all depend on their related modules etc. It sounds to be a complete cluster and likely many features would be disabled in attempt to repower a Ford with the Cummins.

Bill we need an update on spot in 2021 lol

Spot runs & sounds oh so sweet!

Guy builds and sells 6.0s for a living. Won't replace his old dinosaur 7.3 with a 6.0. If that doesn't say it all... lol

This is the 3rd motor put spot. The second one was put in at 790,000 miles. Why didn't this one only Las 100,000 miles?

I got 570,000 miles out of my 7.3. Nothing ever changed internally. Was worked hard and oil changes were every 8-10k miles. Just dropped in a 28k mile motor out of an f450 service truck. This time around it will be taken way better care of. I’m less poor now so I can spend more on maintenance. Looking to to break 1 million miles this go around.

I'm honestly a little sad to see the single-shot injectors go, I like the cadence they have. I'm not the one driving the thing for hours on end though. Just happy to see that Spot is going to live to tow another day.

Please do an autopsy video on Spot's old engine

Yet, ANOTHER reason why I absolutely LOVE my 2001 F-350!! I take good care of my super duty! It’s “overkill” when pulling the Airstream trailer, but NEED my dinosaur to pull the cabin cruiser to the lake and back! That damn boat is 5 times heavier than the Airstream.

On my truck, that oil dipstick adapter did that shit to me, and I ultimately bit my lower lip and bought that 300 dollar machined aluminum adapter that Strictly Diesel sells which seals in the oil from the outside of the pan rather than the inside. It's been working great so far and I can take comfort in knowing if it does start leaking on me one day, it's easy enough to change out the O-rings without having to pull the whole motor.

I also wanna say Mr. Bill Hewitt ur awesome and great mind when comes to the way u have presented ur material on these vids. I'm a tech been doin it 15 years and now from all ur videos I understand the details of these issues with these powerstrokes. Worked at gm dealer for over 9 of those years now in the Independent world lol. I have the most ultimate respect u and ur guys. I don't do whole.lot of deisel work but it always good to have that knowledge for when the time comes.

400k on my truck. original injectors it start great on cold mornings

those okies can rebuild my shit all day...from the transmission to block...

I thought you said on several occasions that 7.3’s are not something you should be running anymore they are yesterday’s tech. You downed them pretty bad and said nobody should own these old 7.3s.

Coming up on 2 years since the rebuild. How about a update on how it’s going and what mileage it’s at now.

bill is the best !!! he took my stolen striped 2006 f 350 and made it a new truck that ill keep forever. his guys are the best to work with also.

Spot needs himself a 6 speed

Been watching for years. My 7.3 is still running only because of Bill. Thanks man!

Also at 15:14 the belt isn't sitting around the A/C compressor pulley straight lol.

I’ve reached the point where I think I’m gonna stick to factory parts on my truck too. I got a Ram with a Cummins, but I think the same applies to it as you say about these Fords, if it doesn’t say Mopar or Cummins on it, it’s not going in or on my engine!

I got a lotta love for the 7.3L Powerstroke since I got our E350 4X4 Club Wagon. The only issues I got a front battery that won't take a charge going down the road after a new 130amp alternator...both batteries are new from Napa...been charging the front battery every #@%#ing day!!! Will be going down to Napa (17 miles away). the other issue is the P1391 & P1393 codes from my glow plugs on both banks, but she fires right up. Bessie's Powerstroke is teaching me about Powerstroke's, KZfaq & channels like yours is a great resource for Shadetree Diesel Mechanic's like me!!!

Hell yeah! Spot is gettin it! 👍

Hope you could do a video on a tear down of the old engine. Would be cool to see what was worn out and maybe some parts were still in good shape?

Spot needs a new air filter BADLY

That old 7.3 probably still had another 200K left in it.

Spot!!! LOL!!!!

This brings me down memory lane

Be so kind and put a list of the parts that genuine parts a guy needs to get if he's going to do the same thing

I like Spot. New Heart for Spot.

Bill is a God and this company is. God

You know you have enough money banked that you can stop working and be selective on what you work on

Spot is lookin spiffy

Would love to see the part list for this job. Also, what’s a retail cost for similar engine and also transmission?

I hear a lot abput asplit shot vs single shot... what do i use? all the guys on the forums say dont mess with split shots... you say you hate single shot... what givces? I have a Navistar 444E thats ready for injectors.. a couple are weak on the buzz test.. single or split?? (mine came stock with splits)

I'm jus not sure why Bill hates the single shots so much? it's the go to in the aftermarket world. they are easier to tune, create more power lower egt's etc. the noise levels aren't that much worse. there are so many reasons to use them. anyone have any insight? thanks

Thats like huge boxes of Christmas presents!

Liked this episode so much, I watched it twice.

Spot gets a transplant & lives another day.

Long live Spot! :-D

awesome

does it have new batterys and torque fast starter that cold start wasn't th greatest lol but runs good

Spot lives another 500,000

G says leave my boxes and parts alone, your making his job harder lol

Bill noticed that boat on the side of your shop..You trying to sail around the world brotha?

Still ate up on the 6.4 😆

He's ALIIIIIIIIIVE!

Bill, I thought your 6.4 burned? Am I seeing things or was the plug for a1 transmissions at the end of the video you sitting on the tailgate of your truck?

Bill so u can't get parts for the 6.4 s .to bad hope what I've done to mine I will last a long time .thanks for your veidos .

My 96 crew cab dually only has 94k on it. Think I’ll never have to rebuild it.

You forgot the flashing lights and siren on spot.

@ 14:12 anybody know what kind of torque converter that is?

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING GOOD OLE SPOT ON THE ROAD!

Man i gotta tell ya bill, the interior of that 900,000 mile 7.3 is still pretty damn clean

wow single shot injector are very loud.....compare to ad injectors

Hey, Bill, do you know why the wind blows across Alabama to Georgia? If you reply to me, I'll tell you and I'll see if you want to do some maintenance (EGR maintenance) for me.

4:46 LMAO

Bill, what do you recommend for a tuner for a 2006 6.0 that's studded and deleted?

Why'd spot need a new engine? Thought it had the replacement engine that was frankenstein'd together at close to 800k miles.

I've been wanting to ask about spot

Run Spot Run!

My Baby Brother got a 6.0 Powerstroke & it's been a nightmare for him. I'm looking for a 7.3 to swap out his motor.

Hey Bill, why does your shop no longer work on 7.3's?

Damnnnn no bellowed up-Pipes hope archoil helps lol

I thought you already put a motor in spot?

Hell yeah

What's the gasket sealer they are using?

7.3 diesels will still be on the roads in 2050.

Long live spot

Fresh injector cups for insurance?

Bill can I buy them injectors your not reusing?

Love these videos. Wish this dude more didn't World 7 3 stuff. I guess the Sixers are the future have to learn to myself though.

I need me some new injectors for my 97

Wonder how many hours on that motor?

Do you still sell your “No power” DVD sets? And will they cover a 1997 7.3 turbo 5 speed manual Thanks guys love your videos👍🇨🇦

Better fuel mileage with the single shot injectors

Explain the Marinette cruiser in the background!? Looks like she’s seen better days

I think the next rebuild of spot he should get a zero mile engine. Completely rebuilt

Yes sir! change that damn filter! LOL

Bill I thought you did a rebuild on spot a couple of years ago after it tore a hole in the block? What happened?

That's because you need to do a Cummins swap on one.

Remember that the 7.3L 6.0L and 6.4L are not Ford engines. While many people believe you need to buy parts directly from Ford, be aware that many Motorcraft parts are aftermarket. The best example for this is turbochargers. If you buy a turbo for a 7.3L, 6.0L, 6.4L and even a 6.7L from Ford they are aftermarket and not the Garrett or BorgWarner.

Whats the brand of that silicone 50 dollar tube?

Now that you aren’t f’g w/ 6.4 anymore, you can take our 7.3’s...

You guys at United and A-1 will be getting my 7.3 to turn into my Hot Shot truck then my 6.4 to do a Cummins Swap and used as the family horse and livestock hauler.

Hey Bill, I met you at Chris's A1 shop a couple of years back with my Black Excursion. They did a great job on the rebuild! Question, can you recommend any seat upholstery shops out here?

If no one makes a complete kit to swap out a 6.4 for a Cummins Diesel maybe you could?

Ol spot 😥RIP

Looking forward to some 7.3 content. Thanks Bill.

I have a spider pipe if you want to get rid of that y pipe

Since he doesn’t want his single shot injectors id gladly take them. Mine on my 95 f250

What air filter is that?

7.3 all Day long☺️

Should i be worried about buying a ford 7.3 with about 200,000 miles don’t want to have to rebuild a diesel motor

@powerstrokehelp your guys aren't working on this?

for a "low" mile engine like that i wouldnt think it would smoke that much on a cold start. but then again thats 82k hard miles coming from an ambulance...

I would have put the newer 6.7 diesel or the 6.2 gas engine more power better fuel economy.

Come on man!! 20 mins and not a single tip for actually removing and reinstalling the engine!!!
