500 HP 7.3 Powerstroke Excursion Build - Project Towverlander Part 2 | Knucklehead Garage

This time on Knucklehead Garage we finish wrenching on our 500hp 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel Excursion Build our overland excursion build aka project Towverlander. Then we take our new fast 7.3 Powerstroke for a rip on the hottest tune we can find! Big Full Force Hybrid Injectors, Dual Fuel Pumps from Strictly Diesel and a Bigger KC Turbos unit all make this the baddest Ford Excursion we have ever seen! With all of that we knew we needed better cooling and Mishimoto fit the bill perfectly. Throw in a Billet Torque Converter and shift kit from Diesel Performance Converters have this 7.3 rolling coal and ripping down the road. Will the transmission hold up to the abuse or will be have to walk home? Stay tuned and find out. Let us know what you think of the build thus far in the comments below. Big Thanks to all of the partners that helped out on this project to make this fast 7.3 excursion a 8000lb rocket ship!

Why a CCV mod? Does that dump the head waste back into the turbo?

Great job guys! Sweet build. I had no idea Bert Kreischer was into 7.3s.

[@rottdogg8926]

"Excursion, a Suburban but for Men" So true, so true hahaha. As an Excursion 7.3 owner I'm loving your build. Much like mine minus a lot of the go fast goodies I would love to do one day.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

It is worth every penny. You don't have to do them all at once.

[@rottdogg8926]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo I hear ya, that's the plan. I basically wait until it needs parts replacement and then buy the best I can find. Last thing was the HPOP went out so it was upgraded. Before that it was a Mishimoto trans cooler along with dual pusher fans and a full transmission rebuild with a triple band torque converter and shift kit.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Dual pusher fans? Tell me more.

[@rottdogg8926]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo Yeah, I installed two 10" or 12" electric fans in front of the trans cooler wired to blow air through trans cooler. Hard wired to switch on dash so I manually switch on fans whenever I see trans temps rising either from towing or pulling uphill in hot weather. Since heat is what kills transmissions I wanted to do everything I could to kill the heat first. I can send pics if you need.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Have you noticed significantly cooler trans temps when towing and having the electric fans on?

[@jaminseat6701]

Lucky you!

[@scottmorse7762]

I absolutely love everything you guys did to the manburb (suburban for men) lol! I actually did a lot of that to my E99 F250, pulled the motor, cleaned it up lots of Riffraff stuff, next project was going to the fuel system that you guys did but fell 15 ft off the top of a semi trailer and landed in the middle where the truck hooks up to the trailer. Was up top tarping a load from the construction site and the excavator operator hit the back of the trailer throwing me off the top. Lots of hip and lower back damage. Unfortunately I lost all interest to work on my truck anymore but I'm trying to get back into it by watching your vids. Love them and will take anything you got leftover! Lol!!! You guys rock and thanks for the excitement of getting back to it!

[@jaminseat6701]

Sorry to hear that. I totally sympathize with you man. I was just getting over a back flare-up when we shot this video, if it weren't for all my great friends doing all the heavy lifting, it wouldn't have been possible. That Topside Creeper is worth every penny too; there's no way I could do this stuff without it. I hope you get healed up enough to start wrenching again. Stay positive! Glad we could help motivate you.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Glad you enjoyed the videos. Heal up soon so you can get back to it.

[@scottmorse7762]

Right thanks guys! It's good the great friends! Once things get back together I'll have to look into that Topside Creeper best luck, keep it up and you guys have a great time! Stay safe and be careful out there!

[@toyzrides]

Matt you stopped to see if I needed help years ago in a Louisville KY parking lot at the expo and your impression on me was genuine. Somebody stole my 43's last week off my Jeep in NW Ga so yes I need help with my 7.3 parts. Great video guys!!

Mods are a TS Performance 6 position switch that stays on the 75 hp setting. Mishimoto trans cooler, impeller wheel upgrade, exhaust back pressure valve delete, fuel pressure regulator spring upgrade, 4" MRBP SS exhaust and the big air filter. It gets 22 mpg on the highway all day long. I change the oil at 5k and drain/refill the transmission every 10k. Only part failure I've had on the engine is 1 glow plug.

This is what I need good people to work on my 2001 7.3l

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

It helps to have good friends that work for Beer!

[@steezy7.3eazy76]

I just REALLY want those HATS man🤘🏼

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

which one though?

[@jeromewilliams3733]

Those CAC boots would be nice and great timing

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

you're in it to win it

[@jeremiahpjones7467]

Awesome job 👍 intercooler boots would be awesome

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thanks!

[@ethanhoullahan5423]

I’ve got an F450 that I’m making into a tow pig, and the fuel rail crossover or oil crossover would be an awesome upgrade.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

for sure

[@philippescheys7622]

Very informative video for anyone looking to upgrade their 7.3! Can't wait to see the rest of the build. Only wish you could have inserted the "Regulate" song...

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

yeah YT is funny about that stuff, would hate for the whole video to get flagged. I think you can use a few seconds and slow or speed up the song by 10% and it will be ok.

[@jaminseat6701]

[@drewnelson6463]

My 99 super duty needs all that and then some. Love my 7tree.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

7.Yee for the Win!

[@user-jx5ec2gs4x]

Cool y’all are from my hometown.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Small world

[@kimmomarlow4125]

pretty cool looks like a great way to cut down on road side weeds

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

smoke them weeds away

[@6_30]

Line item #3 @ 1:37, WHAT??? Lol! Love the build!! I have the identical truck (2001 pre-mods)

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

HA Gotta get them stupid Jack Tools off the radiator

[@jaminseat6701]

You know what I mean 😉

[@Rockpil]

Love it! I have a 2000 excursion I just put a 115k mile 7.3 in (old one had bad rod). I’m looking to do the 180/30 injectors and the kc 300 63/68 .84ar stage 1 turbo in. Mainly want them for better towing. It has a hydra, exhaust, intake, and new cac boots, jasper transmission and converter(have no idea if it’s just a stock rebuild or built). Don’t want it mess with the fuel pumps or hpop.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Sounds great!

[@jaminseat6701]

Trans should be fine as long as you drive smartly.

[@jamesscarberry3128]

Great video my 2000 Excursion needs every thing y’all have I spent all my money on a 4” lift. It doesn’t dive now when you have to stop the Beast 😆😂🤣🤠

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

This one needs a lift BAD!

[@jaminseat6701]

It needs to be erected 🏗

[@jamesscarberry3128]

Busted Knuckle Films does it dive and roll too?

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

James Scarberry the springs are so worn out you would think it was 2wd

[@jamesscarberry3128]

Busted Knuckle Films 😆😂👍

[@jamesbeltram4385]

Every step looked perfect to me except one. You put the old yellow headlights back in. I replaced mine with new lights from A and M auto in my 03 Excursion and made it look like new again.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

check the next episode we fixed that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iojEZIqsra-hf8U

[@freedomworx]

We installed brand new OEM 2005-2007 Super Duty lights in a later episode. Much better looking.

[@takto101]

i would love one of the hats

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

which one do you prefer?

[@hunter_-_smith7077]

tow rig is a 1995 ford f250 7.3 4x4 with a dana 60 kingpin front axle swap, currently been towing one to two runs a day for the past few weeks

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Nice OBS!

[@motleysbuildandrepair546]

93 12v cummins. Awesome video!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thanks for being a Sub!

[@jaminseat6701]

Hummin Cummins!

[@cannanballz3738]

Great build! I have to say though, rolling coal was cool for a second, like 10 years ago...just gives the rest of us diesel drivers, tuners etc. a bad rap. No need to flaunt it. Enjoyed watching though from a 7.3 Ex owner.

[@jaminseat6701]

It's a KZbin tune. That thumbnail wouldn't have garnered near the attention if the truck was burning clean. We don't run smokie tunes on the street, we just do it for video. I don't think "rolling coal was cool for a second," it was never cool to me, or good for the diesel industry, but it's just the reality of marketing diesel content and making power with old diesels like the 7.3 or 12v Cummins. Not to mention it was 98 degrees and 98% humidity that day; that tune would probably look much cleaner if we'd shot the video in February... Thanks for watching. More to come!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

It made for a lot of comments!

[@dezrataz]

I've got a 1990 f350 with the preturbo 7.3 IDI. It ain't getting you anywhere fast but it'll pull a house off a foundation.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Man I've driven one of those, definitely need a turbo

[@jaminseat6701]

I used to run 1990ish F350 flatbed on the farm. Back then it felt like a huge step up from the 6.2 GM Diesel truck we were used to.

[@MrButuz]

Great fun watching this. I've been using my old Merc ML270 as a camper but it's a bit small, like all UK trucks, been fancying an Excursion there's a couple of places that bring them in to the UK but they are all V10s and mostly 2wd. You 'muricans aint lettin' those 4wd 7.3 out of the USA! I don't blame you!! Will keep watching your adventures.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

They are getting harder to find over here too

[@jaminseat6701]

It’s a great country we live in 🇺🇸

[@MrButuz]

@@BustedKnuckleVideo So how much roughly would a V10 with 100k miles in good condition go for over there nowadays?

[@nickreginald7969]

That oil crossover and hutch mod would be perfect on my 7.3 👍

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Yes it will, and you get first dibs since you are a sub.

[@nickreginald7969]

Awesome!

[@nickreginald7969]

Had to go through and watch the video again. Didnt realize there was a hutch mod as well. Would be awesome to have that on my truck as well 👍

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

you are in for the chance for both, while you can only win one.

[@Sureshotspartan]

New subscriber here and I really enjoyed the video. Those boots would look nice on my 2001 Dually.....😉

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Thanks for the sub!

[@jasonlavaa]

I’d like the high flow banjo bolts and the jeli built hat

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Right On!

[@shaunpc2512]

Honestly I’m really impressed with your choices of components for this built, the build quality looks second to none so hopefully you will have all of the reliability to match the looks. Now is there any chance that you could ship me over from the UK to you to test out the Excursion for myself before I end up making a purchase that I’ll regret (plus it would be pretty cool to meet you guys in person) and give my wife a break from me annoying her with my vehicles. Awesome episode anyway 🤘🏻

[@jaminseat6701]

We can ship you over as an indentured servant. We don't have dishes for you to watch, so you'll have to turn wrenches.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Come on over and we will take ya for a Rip in this Excursion Rocket Ship!

[@justinherring7115]

Pusher intakes spyder works great!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Justin Herring will have to look into the that 👍

[@jaminseat6701]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Tahoe0512]

Fuel crossover and intake boots would make mine 7.3 happy. That would be next.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

for sure!

[@michaelwigley8856]

Miss that sound of my obs 7.3 but had to get a motor that makes power without having to spend thousands of dollars just to make the same power my 12 valve does with a few crescent wrench and screwdriver mods do. But I do miss the sound of the crackle of the early 7.3 powerstrokes made. Much better sound than the later trucks with the split shot injectors.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

This one sounds rowdy now. 12 valves are great if only the rest of the truck didn't fall apart around them....

[@littlemechanicshop]

2008 6.4 F350 nice work horse all stock maybe soon it will get some nice upgrades

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Twin Turbskies?

[@leeheaverin5849]

I have a 2005 excursion with the 6.0 in it. I do everything in mine.

[@jaminseat6701]

Same here. I can drive whatever a want. This is what I chose.

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

don't see as many of those still on the road

[@robertotalavera2382]

previously with the other engine it did the same to me, the vibration is in the parking position, it feels like a harmonic vibration, nothing else does it at those revolutions, below or above there is no problem.

[@jeter007b4]

The cross over kit would be nice for the ol 99 6 speed!

[@BustedKnuckleVideo]

Jeter007 B yeah they will!
