1996 Ford F-250 7.3 diesel cold start

1996 Ford F-250 7.3 power stroke diesel straight pipe cold start

[@AlicesWondereland]

5 minutes in. I'm sure that starter was hot enough to ignite the fuel by now.

[@ThrottleResponse]

he don't crank nearly as long or hard as some other people would have🤭

[@mattewflash3421]

Not hardly. He never stayed on the starter for than about 15 seconds. You should see me starting my 7.3

[@skylerhouston]

SHIT!!! now im really late for work!!!

[@therealRustyShackleford]

Well good thing you've got "700" hp then.

[@kingeightball5927]

I think he meant 700 (thousand miles)

[@BailOutVids]

Skip to 5:30. You're welcome

[@atticuspfeiffer2322]

BakenDailey thanks! LOL

[@SuperTruck1]

Also thank you!

[@asksteevies4941]

Hahahahahaha

[@franciscothegreat9173]

Thx

[@dieselguy83]

whether it's 700hp or not, the fact remains that the 7.3 is probably the most reliable diesel engine to ever be put in a pickup truck. My dad has a 97 that's had a really tough life towing. It finally bent a push rod at 444,500 miles. It was the first time we took the valve covers off. I wish I could say the same for my 12 valve Cummins. I'd rather tow with my Cummins because it's a beast compared to the old 7.3. If I had to count on any diesel in any pickup truck to save my life, it would be the 7.3 Power Stroke.

[@johnnyhotbox1060]

12v last way longer

[@jmac5058]

They did not make a 97 super duty , Ford was totaly retooling their factorys for the all new 98 model ,.

[@randyyonkins9467]

All comes down to how the vehicle was maintained for the longevity of it.

[@TheBlazen001]

dieselguy83 what about Toyota diesel 3B,1HZJ or 2 H

[@JimmyCasket02]

jmac5058 there was actually a superduty kind of like the f550 of the time and had 10 lug hubs

[@peterwesolowski2824]

Love that you’re doing the body work, have it leveled in the front, and are running oversized tired with the Alcoa’s. That’s how I’m doing my 97 f350 single cab 7.3. I’ll post a video soon to my page

[@cassandraewing2992]

700hp still has the stock turbo with warm up valve? more like bad injectors and a home made air filter. put bigger stacks on youll be at least 1000hp. lol

[@fredi377]

Know anything about cars?

[@notimportant7382]

Wow bro her comment went way over your head

[@bobreighnheart5071]

we had an old 7.3 on the farm that started like this we added a in-line heater to the lower radiator hose and kept it plugged in with the block heater, that helped a lot plus we put the red top optima batteries in the old girl for more cranking power

[@bigbossman5969]

by the time he gets it started the work day will b over

[@AidanSheridanexe]

5 minutes and 30 seconds of my life that I’ll never get back

[@oliverstrid4545]

wow that was harsh. I remember my old 7.3 idi, started right up in like -25 degrees celsius

[@NJFordPops08005]

loving the cranking. nice video

[@danc.369]

Badass truck,sounds like a locomotive after it got going...:)

[@jacobianno4999]

Brings back memories of my dad's old truck...

[@chrisbroesky2932]

Late for work often?

[@djmcclimans9283]

700 hp and cant afford glow plugs?

[@southernwulf6983]

Wisconsin Dronez lthe truck is old im guessing he had it for a long time probably bought new. But they dont make glow plugs cheap especially for that year.

[@djmcclimans9283]

Brenton Carter. dude i started my idi at -13 with it not being plugged in

[@southernwulf6983]

Wisconsin Dronez thats not what i ment

[@jesseleblanc1199]

Put some glow plugs in that pos and go trade it for a truck lol

[@kman-mi7su]

@381 322 Exactly, I have a 1988 F250 7.3 IDI and I recently bought a set of Motorcraft ZD-9 glow plugs for 75 bucks on Amazon.

[@sasquatchrepair4913]

My dad had one when I was growing up went through 3 starters but the best damn pickup we ever had you give it time it will always start eventually and even when the starter goes go get your hammer and she will still start

[@rank1154]

I would love to smell those smokes. Cold start diesel smoke always smells good

[@brandonplantier7839]

wow that took a few gallons to start it

[@wildcoyote34]

damn you got some good healthy batteries and a damn good starter ,,, by the time you got to 2 min in the video I was wondering if it was gonna start or not reminds me of my 1977 chevy that's had a detroit diesel conversion , it's got a 6V-71 turbo and when starting in under 32F weather it needs either a cord plug in for about 15 mins or a 3 sec shot of Ether , and then crank it till it lights , keep on grinding till it lights cause they have no Glo Plugs

[@catdieselpower193]

love the sticker in the back window! ;-)

[@jamisgood21]

That is a cool ass truck either way! I love OBS strokers.

[@johnwilson895]

Luv it, I hav a 99 F350 7.3 dually. Can't hardly beat them. Yes looks good.

[@djm8707]

Hahaha well aware of that !! I work on em all day long . C 15 an C 16 s that run 7 plus ! The cat sticker in the window is what I was talking about , behind your headache rack hahah nice !!!

[@thekfcbandit3414]

700 hamster power

[@MrKnutriis]

Shouldn't the title for this video have been; "I wish my 7.3 truck had 700hp and that it would start."?

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Or better yet: this is why we plug in our diesels every night...

[@Wolvespiritt]

I'm at around 450-500 HP in my 96 quad cab dually, 7.3 psd. good glow plugs don't help a great amount, if he's running 700 HP then he's got an electric fuel pump conversion as well like I do. those not familiar, that means no fuel bowl in the valley, the original fuel bowl has a heating element in it to pre heat the fuel when cold, the electric pump set up does not, and these 7.3 psds don't like cold fuel for start up.

[@Wolvespiritt]

493 if you want me to be exact, but that was close to 100,000 miles ago , so I'm assuming I've probably lost etleast a few HP from wear.So, just to be safe, I say 450-500. Leaves room for error since I haven't had it on a dyno in a few years.

[@ArniAtlason]

Cool truck, real farmer.

[@Hotforskippy]

Ik this is old but what exactly is making that jet engin kinda sound? My brothers truck does that, is it just cuz its cold?

[@mattb7513]

How many starters do you go through a year?

[@thetoughcookie3665]

I think this was the hardest start ever for engine in YT I have so far seen, specially for this new. Something must be so broken on this.

[@Mylife19792]

i would like to see the dyno on that "700hp" 7.3L

[@brandonruhl4525]

Doty 405 he changed the title 🤣

[@jason97964]

so engines so cold it wont fire but yet you rev it up once it starts? How does that seem like a good idea?

[@OmerYildiz161]

This is for you greta.. hell yeah

[@Codys_gaming]

How many miles you got? I'm looking at one with 330k curious if it's too many?

[@bdub96u99]

Hell still starts better than mine on a warm day

[@werdCanada]

the amount of blue coming from the stacks is a runnaway in the making

[@noahsimmons4107]

werdCanada how so?? I’m interested in these ol pickups and the more I know is better

[@immortalwolf6]

sounds beast!

[@christompkins1482]

Now thats a cold start

[@jamiehaggett5586]

Nice stacks

[@Ticdaniel]

the perfekt car for a bank job: ) Nice sound!!

[@aa1bb219]

Yup just gotta let it run

[@joepacelli9713]

as a 7.3 obs owner I'm embarrassed not all of them start like this.🙁 I will say this guy has a hell of a starter though!

[@logancurry6862]

Joe Pacelli my cousin has a 1995 6.9 converted to a 7.3 banks intake with turbo in doesnt have near this much trouble either

[@joer5057]

Logan Curry a 95 6.9, huh?

[@calebruttan9330]

Joe R inderect injection. early 80's fords diesels

[@Themanowar]

Joe R lol

[@spencerleonard9706]

95 never had a 6.9 or a idi for that matter they were 7.3 powestrokes

[@Generational.holiness]

What’s the reason for the pause in between starts?

[@rebeexi_e3962]

lol you better not be in a hurry :P

[@matthewratzlaff1654]

Ever thought about changing your glow plugs? Maybe your injectors too and a block heater??

[@chersey.3579]

Matthew Ratzlaff the truck has 700 hp dinoed all new injectors glow plugs and block heater

[@matthewratzlaff1654]

Just a stoubborn ol oil burner huh? Sounds like it'll get er done :)

[@Awesomeman1987]

Matthew Ratzlaff no, it has too much fuel being injected to start easily due to the large ass injectors.

[@matthewratzlaff1654]

Awesomeman1987 that makes sense!! Makes lots of smoke I'm sure ! Nice smoke show, but difficult to start!

[@guitarrocker427]

+Chersey .357 you spelled dyno wrong for about the second time. not positive this rusty pile's frame could even handle 700hp without snapping in two. sounds stock asf.

[@Fallen2Dope]

How many starters have you burned up?

[@raydornbush]

The truck is awesome... damn hard start though without the block heater plugged in. I'm defiantly not a fan of the ending though... revving your diesel like that when it's cold.... *cringe moment for sure. Anyways, love them ol' faithful 7.3's keep it running strong :)

[@frickedyourgirlfriend3678]

Your birth was a cringe moment for sure

[@bojackson732]

700hp my ass and nice job revving a cold diesel that’s real good for it

[@240sxRule]

Pretty sure you wouldnt have an ebpv with 700hp...

[@destrypowers2479]

6 minutes I can't get back ha. Going to need a starter after that. Surprised the batteries held up to all that cranking.

[@billygreenhorn9275]

5 minutes of watching a guy try to start his Ferd...damn I want those 5 minutes of my life back!

[@CZ-kz7ug]

Could be starter smoke coming out of the stacks. Fuel preheat helps alot.

[@camronpierce8636]

nice truck

[@dakotageringer9623]

dude glow plugs and glow plug relay is cheaper than a starter

[@joelbecker3122]

ok this should be titled, "dual 700cca batteries start my 260hp straight piped diesel after 5 and a half minutes of cranking it". if this thing made 700hp on the dyno than that would explain it not starting it left everything it had on that dyno run. this makes a better battery video than truck video. let's see those batteries!!

[@doyouliketowatch]

Me personally, 700 hp or not, if that's how long it takes to start I couldn't be bothered. Takes the reliability out of it

[@michaelbenoit248]

On my truck even with a decent amount of oil in the fuel of my 7.3/wmo fuel addative. It still starts way faster & smokes way less. Starts almost immediately most of the time, her & I are good friends. I love her & she loves me.

[@TuningDutchy]

@@michaelbenoit248 you hope i guess, but did she gave her words: "i love you honey" i don't think so otherwise it would be time for a therapy

[@projectwhitechev9438]

How much lift and what size tires

[@logancurry6862]

if i was the camera person. "screw this".

[@virgnthermostat5928]

That's a smooth way to blow the starter

[@bigrustytrusty5856]

How long was it sitting unplugged lmao. Also your glowplugs run for like 3 mins. Not just when the light is on

[@azdirtrider244]

Dude get some new glow plugs holy shit.

[@fordguyaj5581]

RIP starter.... u did ur best!

[@landono7967]

My 93 Cummins was left sitting in severe cold wether for 5 years and started in 3 minutes, after heating the block and freeing the starter

[@cjeam9199]

Landon O ....I'm not sure I believe you... or at least if it started did it run for long/was drivable?

[@landono7967]

yes and no the truck in no longer but the motor is now in my dads 93 dodge

[@landono7967]

before we took the motor out of my 93 he drove it to dallas to get it tuned the day of the video

[@landono7967]

by severe cold i mean around 30°f which is feezing where i am

[@nicksmith-rz2dl]

Definitely mine rn starter started glowing red 😂

[@michaelhutton7462]

There is a small metal screen beside your fuel pressure sensor thats right beside your Fuel Filter housing..... Clean it and i know that will help.... I Own a 1997 F250 HD...with the 7.3 liter Turbo International Diesel .....P.s...run a bottle of Diesel Kleen in the tank every month.... My truck runs like NEW.... i bought it NEW in 1997 ....

[@vdpeer]

Boy, I feel really stupid; I watched the whole thing. Well, I did jump ahead three times. Ridiculous what some people post to KZbin.

[@abdulkamau2862]

Love a Ford

[@stalinsbitch7428]

good job man. you just put 20k miles of engine wear in 7 minutes. also GREAT idea flooring it when the oil hasnt even circled the engine yet. the scores on the walls must be 10 thou deep at least

[@jongglerdaring8260]

Lol well if he could somehow have less fuel at the initial start only and a hotter glow plug it would start up just fine . There is pros and cons to both slow and fast rev starts. To slow n the crankshaft can become stressed along with less heat to expand fast rev starts heat the engine up faster due to more friction from pistons and circulate more fluids to places they need to get to with more pressure but metal dosent like to run cold.. So go fuck off and find the sweet spot of starting .

[@psd28]

there was already oil circulating throughout the engine. you think the oil pump doesnt spin when the engine is cranking? idiot

[@smrobey6411]

Was the key turned to the on position then back off a total of 3 times beforehand?

[@aggabus]

excitement

[@justinjackson304]

Is it have a lift on it looks good btw

How do you get 700 hp out of a 7.3???

[@MrKnutriis]

Michael Koerner it’s magic

[@cary2677]

Its much easier to just plug it in.

[@clickslidebang1871]

Plug what in?

[@gman100]

Good battery.

[@wfenner59]

Trucks lucky if it makes 350 still has a stock turbo and ebpv. And either needs glow plugs or plug it in

[@thatoutlawed_7.3l89]

My truck has bad glow plugs too and has problems starting so I just leave it running at the store BC I don't feel like the trouble to start it again

[@4HBirtcher]

That's one sick truck!! Either block heater needs looked at or something but it should NOT startup like that!!

[@hwvanzant3007]

im not sure about getting the truck started but once it started wow its sounds bad ass.

[@Spicoli1Bilek]

EBPV shut. Mine started doing it at about 40°f. My neighbors love me in the morning

[@leroygreen1877]

this is why I drive a Chevy!

[@vdpeer]

The way that thing is turning over it sounds like there is a loss of compression in one or more cylinders. And glow plugs need replacing for sure.

[@nicholasbuchanan8931]

Keeping revving on it blow it up

[@technicallip]

New starter and new glow plugs

[@July4th1999DMV]

Why is it hesitating to crank

[@RK-df1tk]

No way that junk pile is 700 hp.
