Recently bought a 91 2 door rwd f250 with a non turbo 7.3 idi for 500$ and it cranks over and seems to be fixable so theres some pretty cheap ones out there too that have potential.

Hey I really need to find the oil lines and flange for this turbo can you please help me

nice

I noticed the small rubber hose is kinked

Ran two trucks with 6.2 GM V8 diseasels in them, biggest problem was keeping them cool, the trucks had limited space for a radiator, the other problem was the auto transmissions, the engines could chew them up and spit them out. Still when I left the company one truck, a 5 ton 6x4 Stonefield built like a brick outhouse, it had done well over 400k miles with the 6.2 in it replacing a Ford 3000cc V6 petrol, fuel consumption went from 5.8mpg (US) to 21.6mpg (US), the conversion paid for it's self in 3 months

I have a 82 6.2l blazer this truck had over 750,000 miles on it when I changed the engine it was still running but used oil know have an additional 250,000 miles on it undercarriage needs work but still going strong.

Links to products are greatly appreciated!!

Looking at the 7700 now

7.3 idi is the most reliable truck ever. Work mans truck. 211,000 miles and running strong on mine. That's considered low miles for these. I get offers for people to buy my truck all the time. I could sale it tomorrow and get an easy 10k. Mines real clean tho. Back seat looks brand new. Amazing trucks. Everything now days is plastic shit that's not realible. Even toyatas gone down hill. Twin turbo v6 explosion and pile of poop with the new tundra.

I have a ton of experience with the 300 ford. Most people dont know, but 80% of the cargo tractors you see pulling baggage are powered by ford 300s. I worked fleet maintenance for Delta and we had probably 500 of these tugs with 300s in them. One day we had one come in with a horrible metal noise coming from it, i knew it needed to looked at more then just an oil change, but we were so back up with repairs we just wrote it up and put it on the back burner. It had enough power to do its work, just sounded horrible. A couple weeks later, we are all caught up and i decided to give that tug a thorough inspection, the noise was almost none existent when i found it, but clearly had a misfire. I found no compression in the #1 cylinder. I removed the cylinder head to find the exhaust valve had dropped and was shoved stem first through the piston. I replaced the valve, and just ground the valve stuck in the piston flush with it. The piston wasnt cracked and when i dropped the oil pan the rod had smashed away any excess stick out. The tug went back into service running better then alot of the other ones and we never had a problem with it for the remainder of my time at delta. The running joke in the shop was we didnt need to work on the tug, we were just looking for hours to bill

They debuted as a late model year for 97. The reason Ford came out with these, is because the supee duty wouldn't come out until 99, also 97 was the last model year for the 250 & 350 old body style. So there was a temporary hole to fill. Also after 99 they still made these, they just changed the name to f150 7700 series.

Thanks for your times that's vidéos help me

I wonder if this is why at idle my yukon is right under 20psi but cruising its a steady 40.

Badass, I have the same exact truck

Good job. 6.2 with 1100.00. Miles I'll be gone befor my trk.

1:18 did you mean oil pump relief valves by saying oil pressure regulator valve ?

Yeeee let’s gooo 7.3 brother

I have 2 6.2's, both NA, auto (1 is a 700r4, and 1 is a TH400). Both are dead reliable, easy to work on, and easy on fuel. Been good engines. My only complaint is the bolts coming thru from the back on the water pump. Hated that. However, I had a 1994 6.5 Turbo. The electronic injection on that thing was a nightmare. PMD relocated, went through the wiring. It would run 1 day, and not start the next. Finally scrapped it. Could not make it run 2 days in a row. I wish I could have found a 1993 with the non electronic injected turbo. The 6.2's are a 1983 and a 1986. Pulled a lot of trailers with both of them. Like you said, you are not going anywhere fast...but they will go.

I have owned a '93 Silverado with a 6.5 turbo diesel since it was brand new and it runs great. I was a diesel mechanic in the Army so I do all the work on the engine. I do not baby this thing, it stands up to the abuse. I use it for towing my trailers, no problem. Not as fast as the new trucks but light years less expensive

$249 in Australia. I bought them last year. Been a great set. The quality and design is excellent.

Thanks ! 🫡 you can put more info for 6.5

i lov 21:27 e my 83 6.2 have it for 10 yrs plus few problems

1997 f250 XLT 4x4. Supercab. Yes it looks exactly like this. Hard to find parts. Orilleys came thru for me so far.... now looking for rear emergency brake cables. The journal continues...

can youmake video on how to change oilpan on 6.2 19823/4ton thanks

WHAT ABOUT 1982 THANKS

I own a ‘94 K2500 Suburban (295K miles) and a ‘99 K2500 Suburban (240K miles), both with 6.5 turbo diesels. They can be needy, but once you do mods for cooling and a larger aftermarket turbo, plus a tune, they are great engines that are easy and cheap to work on. If you have the DS4 injection pump, they no longer make new, nor do they make new rotor heads. They can be converted to DB2 injection pumps. Replace the OEM Harmonic Balancer every 100K, or install a Fluidampner HB which is good for life. Replace injectors every 100K miles. Rest of the work is truck stuff like replacing front end components due to age. I did upgrade both to GMT 800 front brakes and the ‘94 is due for a 14 bolt full floater rear axle with disk brakes from a GMT 800.

I'd watch the bogus Motorcraft plugs on the internet now also. I put 8 new ones on a 5.4 2v. 2000 miles later I got a dead hole miss on cylinder #5. Bought a new coil from FMC and still a miss. Bought a new injector from Bosch and still a miss. I told myself that it couldn't be plugs, 2000 miles since replacing. Replaced the plug knowing I was wasting my time. BINGO! FIXED. A bad plug. I'm 74 year old and have bought Motorcraft plugs my entire life never a bad piece. I'll never trust their parts department again. Threw the other 7 plugs away and replaced with NGK. Running like silk. JMHO.

Cts3 ftw

Love the tractor. I have a G5200 HST that I inherited, and am bringing back to life slowly. Do you have a link on that little fuel pump. Looking to convert mine as well for some more fuel pressure. Cheers from Canada

Have the same tractor. Mine overheats often. Anyone else with this issue?

My neighbor had a early 80's 6.2 Suburban and he loved it but in about 8 years and about a 170000 miles or so it was on its third transmission,, one rear end replacement, and a CRAZY number of injection pumps... He also had a very dangerous situation midway through his ownership where the power steering gearbox did something crazy and he couldn't steer the damn thing.. We'd get into hilarious discussions about it because my 82' F150 had the same mileage but never broke,, everything under the hood was original except the exhaust manifold and master cylinder, and battery.. lol

You are correct!

Idk how a dog is considered a negative comment lol, Dogs is man’s best friend and my dog is very well behaved for the most part.. her fuel consumption sucks but other than that THIS DOG’LL HUNT

I looking at the same truck in alaska that not as nice with almost 160000 miles and body damage for 6000

I'm guessing there's not a way to avoid spraying diesel everywhere unless you put hoses on the DVs and route em to a 5gal bucket

how they holding up?

Ran a yellow top in my 05 Ranger with a 240 amp alternator and 2000 watt sound system…. Never had an issue and kept the power strong.

if i disable dod do i need to remove the Relief Valve and close it

Rear cover mounting screws torquing spec is 28.9 - 47.7 foot pounds taken from Workshop service manual Kubota tractor 39.2 to 64.7 N-m 4.0 to 6.6 kgf-m 28.9 to 47.7 ft-lbs And yes the gasket is available @ Kubota dealer

Had a 300 in a 1990 f 150 after 514,000 miles of hard service it made it home to die. Also run a 300 on a 1985 production year onan generator. It routinely runs 24/7 two weeks straight on events and has never failed to do its duty. Modern diesel generators don't hold up like this old beast does. Ford 300 power gets the job done every time.

Excellent video..! Yep, watched all of “Clint” “Ron”, & “Bill” video’s…, however you bring great information as well. Purchased new in 1995 F-350 crew, Powerstroke (all stock), 192K mi., just put all new (from Riff Raff), OEM or INTERNATIONAL (what you recommended). Will now look at “Riff Raff Diesel” for the cross over oil & fuel upgrade. Thank you sir.

I had one with rear load leveling air suspension...factory! I miss it. Good truck.

Model turbo please

Just bought my OBS 97’ 7.3 Powerstroke service truck. I’ve been searching for a video about reliability and maintenance upgrades! Thank you, I’ll be doing most if not all of these suggestions to help the truck

Thank you for your video, People are telling me I shouldn't attempt to change my injectors myself (on my 7.3 idi), but the videos I see seem pretty straight forward. Are changing the injectors much easier on an idi vs most other diesels?

I have 1999 f250 . Getting ready to sell to buy old old Ford. Have to many trucks

There's a shield below the piston, so shouldn't be an issue getting oil shot from release valve. Fixed the o- ring and replaced my pressure valve with a m14x1.50 oil plug amd lightred locktite. Fixed my pressure from hot 18psi idle to 30 and runs much better. Any issues, I'll check back later.

Could I pick your brain I just got a 15 hp Sears Surbun 15 I have never pulled in my life but I wana do some stock pulling could You maybe help me out I was looking for wheels and how to hook up a dead man throtle pedal

I have a 2006 with 7 lugs. Im lost

Why in the world 7? They've used 8 and 6 for years and they have to 'invent' another oddball? It's as bad as Dodge with those Dakota 6 lugs that nothing else fit or Ford (again) with the enomously popular Fox bodies and goofy 4 lugs.
