About spit out my coffee laughing on your commentary on the ceramic ball bearings. 😂 Great video, thank you!

[@danielmcqueen1024]

Same here... Ceramic ball bearings!

That was funny, luckily it was just in the 2011’s.

I was impressed when you called the 5.9, a V6

[@FredMills-fe2nx]

Hahahaha, gotcha. I just traded my 6.7 Ram for a 99.5 Ford 7.3. I have done a lot of work to it due to neglect in the past, but you helped you get through it. Thank you!!

Great video. Keep the 7.3 content coming!

Thanks! Will do!

I'm a diesel mechanic. I own a 97 7.3 and a 2001 7.3. Just about everything this guy says is spot on.

[@mileage_master]

Lucky guy

[@SomeDumUsrName]

Ok….. so where was he NOT spot on?

[@randypritt2490]

I own a 7.3 F350 and I will never get rid of it. I will never buy one of these new junk diesels today they have out. For $80.000 dollar For one of them new trucks I can replace a lot of 7.3 motors in my truck

I feel like an idiot I only thought the 5.9 came in a straight 6.

[@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD]

LOL someone is paying attention

[@felicitous48]

I love my 99.5 F350. She's barely getting broke in at 240K miles. I am currently putting new battery cables, batteries, and a starter on there. Just part of maintenance. Next will be CAC boots and the Banks waste gate and some other odds and ends. I'm the second owner, having purchased her in '03 from a coworker with under 60K miles. She never complains, just keeps chugging along. Thanks for the videos.

[@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD]

Thanks for watching

I got one in 2003, great truck all around,still my everyday driver,and I work the hell out of it

[@jacobwilliams5702]

7.3 wasn’t discontinued because of emissions but actually because it was to noisy if an engine the 7.3 is said to be cleaner than new 6.7 powerstrokes

[@clittle1559]

I believe the 7.3 was changed because they were built to last they can only go so long without selling trucks. ofcorse these people care about there products but as a chess game perspective I honestly believe all these company know exactly what they're doing like the 6.0 there's absolutely zero reason to make a more horsepower engine but only have not even 4 head bolts to each piston

[@genogeno6643]

Vice President Al Gore had a lot to do with it.

[@raybagdazian2736]

Officially the emissions are better than 6.7 but yes it was California bitching about noise... gotta love California and all their commies stripping our rights daily eh🤔🤷🏼

[@robertb6768]

When mentioning larger displacement mass produced engines (including gasoline engines), you forgot the GM L18 Vortec 8100 8.1L/496 CI. Every big U-Haul truck for decades had one of those in it, along with many GM trucks.

[@danielmcqueen1024]

Another point on the 7.3... Good scheduled maintenance and the beast will run forever! or at least in my case my 2000 only has 182K on her :)

[@davem3789]

I have 98k on my 02 6-speed. Ordered it to my specs and picked it up the week after 911. Seems like I’ll probably keep it until who knows.

​@@davem3789 Same here, I ordered my 2000 F-250 Lariat Club Cab, with the short Suiside doors, 4X4 with stick shift but she only was offered with the Automatic trans. Still have the original rims and did a level kit up front, she's already high enough! Did the whole Banks upgrades in 03' Turbo mods, intercooler and strait 4.5" exhaust pipe... she still sounds sweet! Here she is in the snow warming up... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZrMY5KAr82CecU

Your the best on these 7.3 and I hear a million people say they are reliable but I don't understand it cause I go thru hell with mines if it's not the injectors it's something else when you have time hit me back and I can explain the issues I have thanks

Custom Works, thanks, very informative. I have a question about the serial number; is it etched in the block near the rear oil cooler pad? Thank you.

[@CUSTOMWORKS7.3PSD]

Right above the oil cooler above the oil filter end of the tube. You will probably need to degrease the engine in order to see it. It is stamped into the block.
