No. The batteries were dead, odometer showed somewhere upwards of half a million miles, and the owner said there were multiple issues with the cooling and oil systems. I took as much as I could from it though. If I hadn't been living in a studio apartment at the time I would have tried to do more.

While stressful projects like this can suck, I hope you know that you're at least helping some people out. I'm currently on the same journey you went through on my e350. I think my injectors may be on their way out, but I'm going to try the additive method and see if that can help with some of the stiction. I just recently did a turbo rebuild on mine, it wasn't horrible, but I also did a lot of "while I'm in here" maintenance while I had it out. I did the exhaust value delete, and replaced the turbo pedestal with one that doesn't have the oil controlled solenoid. It's a common source for leaks. Also you may look at doing a crankcase breather mod also. Rather than sucking the crank case muck into the turbo you vent it outside. And if you ever find yourself needing to replace the engine harness, you wont find one for the van (that isn't stupid expensive), but you can mod a truck one to work with the vans. Good luck with all your future projects!!!

Yeah honestly I think doing injectors, wiring harnesses, glow plugs, wiring pigtails, and CCV vent o rings all at the same time makes the most sense.

Just make sure you get legit OEM glow plugs; I've heard horror stories of knock-offs swelling and breaking off inside the head at the tip.

@PowerstrokeEconoline 4 ай бұрын
I considered doing injector cups and did a ton of reading. Forum posts are split pretty evenly between "do it all now so you don't have to later" and "if it ain't broke don't fix it". I think that doing injector cups would have taken me a lot more time and from what I understand can be really difficult in a van without pulling the engine. So I'm in the "ain't broke" crowd. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me!

Here I am all ready with my comment about how I wondered how you were going to handle that passenger bank problem injector, then ask how hard it was to get the solenoid back on correctly, the ask if you thought you could have beaten the firewall enough before you took off the valve cover to clearance the removal. I was also going to compliment you on your camera work.. then then the end came and I could feel your pain. What a bummer. Looking forward to the resolution.
@PowerstrokeEconoline 4 ай бұрын
Thanks! Removing the solenoid on #3 really wasn't difficult. Putting the solenoid back on the new one after installation was a little bit of a pain because it was really difficult to hold the torx bit down while wrenching on it. I got it to click on three of the four screws, and the other one felt equally tight but the bit kept popping off before the torque wrench clicked. Hopefully good enough. Spoiler alert, I got the van running again and overall am really happy about the whole project. I'll post the second part with what actually fixed in a couple of days.

Do you have any thoughts on relocating the underhood battery to the frame beside the other battery? I have been thinking about doing this to allow for a new air filter set up on my 7.3L. How would a relocation affect the wiring in your opinion?
@PowerstrokeEconoline 4 ай бұрын
I have a buddy who did exactly that. I think it's probably a good move and I have a spare battery box in my junk pile in case I ever decide to do the same. It would make disconnecting the batteries a little more difficult when you're working on electrical systems or welding, which is a con. It also makes the batteries a bit more difficult to replace. It would also change the wiring runs but ultimately I think it would shorten the overall length of cable required, which would be more efficient in terms of voltage drop/resistance.

Hi Love your videos. I bought my 95 7.3 powerstroke last year, and drove it about 2000km (1243 miles) home. Got an average about 20 mpg. Pretty satisfied with that. Currently doing some maintenance on it. I saw in the comments that some suggested that you swap to a manual gearbox. I have been thinking the same thing. Have seen some videos about it, so it can be done. But I'm not a mechanic, so it looks a little bit over my head. By the way, can you make a video on changing the belt? And the waterpump?
@PowerstrokeEconoline 4 ай бұрын
Personally I like driving a manual but I don't think I'll ever go down that line with the van. If I make any major changes to the drivetrain it would be converting to 4x4. As to the belt, that's a pretty simple swap. You just need a breaker bar to lever open the belt tensioner, then it slips right on/off. On some of the trucks there is an upper radiator hose that runs through the belt, but I haven't seen that on any of the 7.3 vans. I'll make a video about the water pump if/when mine fails. Hopefully never!
