7.3 powerstroke gets dual steering stabilizers! + BIG news for the channel!

[@brandondacome1012]

Just bought myself some of these for my 2000 7.3. Cant wait!

[@NoHalfAss]

Triangle Donut nice man! They’re pretty nice, work good and I think they look great under the front end

[@witeb0i84]

How long did they last

[@rxonmymind8362]

My dream truck. One that has a fully rebuilt 7.3, new interior and sound system. Waiting to find one in the wild in pristine condition or near it.

[@NoHalfAss]

Rxonmymind that’s awesome! They are hard to find in great condition. Have you test driven or looked at any yet??

[@rxonmymind8362]

@@NoHalfAss No not yet. I'll be buying it as a weekend warrior as I just purchased a trailer so not looking to drop $45k-$70k but something more reasonable. It definitely won't be my daily like yours as I have other cars for that on my 90 miles commute. Lol. Appreciate you breaking down the cost of owning one that helped a lot but like I said it a weekender and I'll barely put 3k on it a year. Stay safe.

[@NoHalfAss]

Rxonmymind daaaaang bro 90 miles?!? Lol that’s a big commute. Once I get a chopper like I mentioned at the end of the video I’ll probably ride it to work a lot more than my truck, at least during summer. Lol That’ll help me save $$$ for more mods for the 7.3 too🔥

[@NoHalfAss]

Rxonmymind that’s cool you got a trailer bro. I want one some day too💯

[@SuckMySweatyBallz]

Why not build it yourself like I did? You'll appreciate it more..... Find a good truck to start with.

[@richmorris5072]

I know this is an old thread. I just bought a set of these stabilizers and cant wait to install them on my 2002 7.3 4x4 Superduty. FYI when you pulled the nut from the passenger side and said its just a nut with a washer on it and not a locking nut is not true. That is actually a better lock nut than the nylock you installed. Look around on your truck and you will see that style nut everywhere. They work great and do not where out like a nylock will. This is why the factory uses them especially on suspension parts. I just thought you would like to know. Good video and keep up the good work.

[@NoHalfAss]

Good to know bud!! Thank you for the information!🙌🏻💯

[@LivingOnWheels]

I say to paint them white.

[@NoHalfAss]

Living On Wheels that’s a good idea. Better than black for sure💯

[@alphabob8156]

Thanks for sharing - you're a good mechanic!

[@Sonofamonkeyhole]

Put the same one on mine when i replaced the steering linkages, was an amazing ride while it lasted

[@NoHalfAss]

Sonofamonkeyhole didn’t last long??

[@Sonofamonkeyhole]

@@NoHalfAss its still on the truck but i was rear ended beginning of last month and it was totalled out

[@Sonofamonkeyhole]

I have an amazing 05 6.0 now, but i still miss my 7.3

[@NoHalfAss]

Sonofamonkeyhole I think you might have told me that once a few weeks ago huh?? Someone told me they’re 7.3 was totaled and they have a 6.0 now

[@Sonofamonkeyhole]

@@NoHalfAss yeah that was me haha

[@eddieman3702]

Cool video man, I've been wanting to put a set of stabilizers on my 6.0 . I carry a truck camper sometimes and I think it'll help with the sway. I also ride a Harley. Love those hard tail choppers.

[@NoHalfAss]

EDDIE MAN thanks bro! Yeah the steering is much better now with them. And nice bro that’s badass, I’m still searching for one and I’m super impatient and want it now!! Lmao

[@lbj808]

His set up is a good bang for your buck!..I looked at other “HIGH END BRAND NAMES” and bottom line is it does the same thing! I also got this Rough Country set up. Saved a lot of $$$!!.. sorry I don’t have an IG account bro...Aloha 🤙🏽

[@NoHalfAss]

lbj808 nice bro that’s good info and great to know! Glad I didn’t waste any more money than I needed to🤘🏻 lol

[@NoHalfAss]

lbj808 maybe one day I’ll get to see your rig bro, would love to see that thing!💯

[@jasonotto650]

Looks great man!

[@NoHalfAss]

Jason Otto thanks Jason!!

[@iviaverick52]

1:10 yikes, hopefully you got some new leaf springs since this vid!

[@stevenlacroix1856]

Man you gotta get some wrenches those crescent wrenches are knuckle busters

[@richardmontoya3449]

How much did it help with the play in your steering wheel?

[@Fordgroup00]

Hmmm. Maybe should add this to my list ... Great video, very informative 👍 Those old-school bikes are cool! 👍

[@NoHalfAss]

Ogre Dad yeah man I like them a lot! And thanks bro!!

[@bigred9796]

Hey brother, nice video. I wanted to pass on some info on that kit you installed. I have a 97 F350 7.5, I ordered a dual steering stabilizer kit that is supposed to be for my year truck, it had a u-bolt that was supposed to mount around the frame and connects a bracket to it. That kit was in no way gonna work no matter what I tried. While I’m under the truck looking at what I think could work, I thought to myself I think I could make some type of brackets to mount to the leaf spring u-bolts and figure out the rest. Started researching and came across your video, seen the kit you had and bingo, that kit looks exactly like what I had in mind. It took awhile before I could install since I was doing a couple other projects to it, but just installed it and it works perfect on my 97 OBS 350. I hope this will help some of your viewers if they want to install that Rough Country kit on a OBS. I just upgraded a lot on front end of my truck, went from 35’s to 37’s and a 4 inch lift just enough to clear the 37’s, and this kit just topped it off . FYI , When I ordered , I think I put in 2001 F350 to pull up that kit .Thanks again

[@NoHalfAss]

Nice bro that’s awesome! And good info to know! Thanks for sharing that with me and my viewers!🤘🏻

[@za-jm8wf]

Have you checked you steering dampener? Mine was shot and helped some once changed but I'll try to this upgrade on my 01 excursion.

[@NoHalfAss]

Yo San I have not! I’ll look into it though. How much was a new dampener??

[@JohnMatrixOfficial]

Put some "805" stickers on them🤘🏻🍻

[@NoHalfAss]

John Matrix hahahaha that’s funny I actually have one sitting on my tv stand!😂 I was going to put it on my Harley but that’s a good spot too!

[@JohnMatrixOfficial]

@@NoHalfAss lol, I just put my stabilizers on watching your video. I have a bunch of 805 stickers and I put one on each side. Thanks for all the videos. 🤘🏻💯

[@NoHalfAss]

John Matrix that’s badass bro! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it🤘🏻

[@cencoast_7.340]

Got the same setup and works great with 35's. You don't have an impact?

[@NoHalfAss]

2strokesnPwrstrokes niiiice man! And no not yet 😂 need to get one though. I like your name bro. I’m a 2 stroke guy too. Love my CR250!!!

[@ETryan90]

@80HD Projects I am sure you probably have nicer tools than I do - and hopefully it doesn’t open Pandora’s box with tool critics - but for weekend wrenching I have always saved at harbor freight - even their earthquake series I know a few mechanics that use both their batterie power and pnuematic earthquake impacts - I have one as well 1/2 inch for my truck holy man that thing will take anything off - just lube the bolts a bit because it’s so strong I have broken one - just a suggestion 🙂 you can buy probably 3/8 ratchet and 1/2 inch in both batterie and pneumatic (4 total) for the price of one snap on

[@robertfisk8344]

Looks great I tried putting the rubber boots on didn't really look that good cuz anytime the wheel was turned a little to the left or right they just looked sloppy definitely don't recommend. But if you look real closely at the seal where the shaft goes in there's a little compression spring to hold the seal I put a little grease on there because I I think that it is just mild steel spring and it might rust due to all the water and dubree so just put a little group of Grease around that seal where the spring is or even a rubber grommet to cover the spring if you look at it you'll see what I'm talking about I'm just extra cautious about things like that you'll feel the same way once you see it plus I did the little mini gussets and strengthened the plates a little bit but yes they do help and they do look pretty cool manly Cody

[@NoHalfAss]

Robert Fisk okay I’ll check that out and add some grease for sure! Thanks for always giving me great info Robert!🙌🏻

[@nickherrman1222]

Atta boy Cody

[@NoHalfAss]

Darius Turner thanks bud! Do you have these stabilizers too?

[@robburdine5429]

I have a 2002 Ford F250 and cannot find a way to lock down the 3 C bolts/ U Bolts in the middle plate of the installation. The short ratchet is too short on the 14mm the Deepwell is too long and forces my hand in a place where I cannot even get 1 click rounded for the ratchet to move. Do you have any advice how I can get those 6 nuts driven down to tighten on the steering bar. Strange the Excursion and F250 nearly the same machine. Spent hours trying to get this done just for the 6 nuts. Got the install complete in record time otherwise. Any thoughts on how I might get the job done. Please let me know if you can. Thank you for a great video.

[@NoHalfAss]

Sorry for the super late response bro. The only thing I could think of that would make it easier is a gear wrench. Depth wouldn’t be an issue with one of those 🤙🏻

[@SuckMySweatyBallz]

great video. Helped me a lot. Thx

[@NoHalfAss]

SuckMySweatyBallz glad I could help!🤘🏻

[@stevennichols1039]

I bought these same ones about 3 months ago I couldn’t tell much of a difference really with 35s and I had to remove the nuts on passenger side because it was crooked as hell if not lol

[@NoHalfAss]

Steven Nichols oh interesting! Like I said I didn’t notice a HUGE difference but I could feel a small difference for sure!

[@leohernandez4821]

I just came by this video I purchased part # 222581z pro comp from a local dealer they where $256 out the door haven’t installed them hope i made a good purchase

I want the 7.3 so bad, but how do you need to buy a decent one like $15,000 at least I’m guessing.

Still have them and they still work and look great! I think it’s been a little over 1 1/2 year

[@MonDakLiving]

I don't know if you are still having some troubles with steering at all but have you checked out the redhead steering gear box? Also I know these old leaf spring fords usually ride like an old chuck wagon, have you checked out the sulastic rubber spring shackles at all? I appreciate your videos man, Keep it up!

[@NoHalfAss]

MonDakLiving I haven’t looked into the redhead steering gear box before, I’ll have to check it out! The saulistic shackles are something I just recently heard about so it’s something I’m looking into now! Thanks for the info and suggestions🙌🏻🤘🏻🔥💯

[@sapper3619]

What are the torque specs?

[@NoHalfAss]

I don’t know, I don’t think it called for it so I don’t think I used a torque wrench. Lol If you buy them, the instructions would probably give you torque specs if there are any.

@@NoHalfAss lol the instructions just say torque them but no specs, thanks tho keep the videos going

Will they work on stock Ford ? Or you need to lift it to use them ?

dunno yolo they work on stock too bro👍🏻 I had a 4-6 inch lift in this video, now I have a 14” lift and they still work the same and I know people with stock superdutys with them

Spend some money on tools bro! Jobs go faster and smoother with correct tools. You are a good mechanic its time to have the tools like one...

You’re right about tools bro. They do make life and jobs way easier. Luckily I don’t have to buy any now though cuz I have a tooled out company truck that I take home everyday with everything I need. Lol

What kind of mpgs do you get now that you have a monitor? Have you noticed a difference now that you can see the live mpgs?
