Ford E350 | 7.3 Power Stroke - IDM Testing and Wiring Repairs - Part 2

Uninsulated terminal kit: amzn.to/2Y5tr7P Hose pinch pliers (I am using the 1-1/4" style): amzn.to/2BC86eF Harbor Freight sells adhesive lined shrink tube that is pretty decent.

[@FrequencyOfThought]

You know what those spikes could be the alternator turning off and on all the time because it's so High amperage. Maybe put regular alternator on it that thing looks scary

[@jannepo]

Even with Pico Scope 2204, some attenuators and defining probes manually, you get a better deal with this 200 USD scope. SW is amazing. You van even analyze CAN bus with this. PC needed. www.picotech.com/oscilloscope/2000/picoscope-2000-specifications

I would think the glow plug wire made so much heat when shorting that it melted the sheilding on the adjacent wires wires.

[@kevinoscarson2941]

12 valve is an excellent engine but I have never seen a 7.3 fail because of a dowel pin, or a block split because of poor casting. Back when the trucks were new stock for stock the 7.3 walked over the 5.9 for power and towing. Also the Ford was a far superior truck to the Dodges.

Wow, that was a conundrum for sure. Intermittent issues are the worst nightmare of any mechanic, but you handled it masterfully. I learned from observing your repair and while we still don't know for sure if you found it, I believe you did all you could. Great effort Wes. I have the 2001 7.3 F-250 Superduty so learning from videos like this are very useful for me. I hate paying the labor for problems when I can usually figure it out. It's a pain but you learn so much on every job which comes in handy when you are traveling and an issue crops up. You can never know enough about your vehicle. Thanks again!

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Wes, these vehicles come into your shop in such bad shape and leave so much better. Thanks for posting.

[@jonka1]

When I was doing this sort of work one of the problems was the customer. Some would go to a different repairer each time the intermittent problem came back. This makes sure that every time the tech had to start again which also made sure that none of the techs could credit the customer with any costs incurred on the journey to finding the cause. I was very fortunate with my clients, they trusted me and we always got there in the end.

[@WatchWesWork]

Yeah, that makes things very difficult.

[@yako0000]

[@greggb3079]

Holy cow! That was a very involved process. Obviously needed all those "little" fixes (i.e., wires re-wrapped, glow plug fix, rear abandoned radiator lines, etc.,), no self respecting tech would just bypass that stuff, but no specific problem identified is a real head scratcher. Hope the customer watches this video, to see just what all was done. Great video, thank you sir.

Damn, I know all vehicles suck to work on these days but, it seems like you get the hardest ones. As I have said before in the comments, I grew up working in my dad's junk yard and garage working on cars and pickup trucks mostly. That was in the 60s and 70s. They were easy compared to today's cars and pickup trucks. I can't imagine working on the big rigs that you repair. It's good that we have young men like you to fix this crap. Awesome job as usual and a great video.

This technology just blows my mind. I was a electrical troubleshooter ( not on vehicles ) for 30+ years. I could see this technical stuff coming when I had a sewage pump station know when it had a problem and start to talk to you with this electrical woman's voice. Then it would start to dial in order the sewage engineers. One at a time until some one answered there phone and showed up to reset computer and make necessary repair. Glad I am retired now. What I am telling you is I really have respect for your ability to analyze what you are seeing and knowing how to set up your tests. Great job!

Once again, great video. You continue to "do the right thing" by pulling the valve covers. You always set the correct example. I'm about to replace defective glow plugs on my 96 7.3, and reassured myself I had the factory valve cover gaskets. I then realized I got Dorman gaskets, not knowing any better. Your video reassured me that at least I have a chance with them if I'm careful. I had already purchased the same non-insulated butt connectors and heat shrink as recommended from your previous videos. I'm sure I would have screwed up the cylinder identification had you not pointed out that the engine is not a Ford, but a International (navistar in 96) Many thanks. Craig

Wes Water in those modules are a real common problem. We take PVC pipe, and cut spacers out of it. Place the spacers between the fender wall and module and it helps keep water from just sitting on module, also helps to keep module cool. The dorman gaskets are the way to go ! Great job !!!

Hey bud, because you've mentioned those Braun lights, they have a standard 18650 lithium ion battery. You can buy a pair with a wall charger for pretty cheap and just swap the batteries out as needed. I'd say, don't cheap out on lithium ion setups, but you could be in for less than $10 shipped.

[@FowlerAskew]

I was pretty disappointed with the runtime on those lights, so I've been upgrading all of mine with higher capacity cells, at least right now they ship with low end 2200mAh cells. We have a lot of samples and old prototypes at work that I can harvest pretty decent 18650s from, so now my Braun lights are mostly in the 2550-3000mAh range

At 8:08 where you discuss comments; looking at the harness hanger at 1 o’clock under the drip edge, if someone had hung that harness on there with zip ties, I could see how those two wires could have rubbed through and shorted to ground. As with the sloppiness of found or missing fasteners, it may have been cut down for diagnostics and not rehung. At any rate, your thorough repair later in the vid addresses this, even though it was not the point of your repair…

Did it look like there was no proper gasket on that IDM cover (40:12)? It's almost as if the shop that "relpaced" the one before took it apart, replaced a bad component and then siliconed the seal on the cover and probably didn't seal it well enough to keep water from pouring in? Thus the "failure" was the same module which was only repaired, not replaced, but the failure was different.

Then I just lived with the ABS traction control lights. Also had a small and very small leak in EVAP system. Lived with that too. When I got a fuel gauge issue and it would show empty when tank was full I had to address the issues. Got a steering wheel sensor code too....WTH! Multiple codes for wheel sensor, EVAP, and Steering wheel sensor. Replaced that in tank level sensor and EVAP canister above fuel tank it was broken and i only seen that when tank was lowered to replace fuel level sensor. That fixed all codes including the right rear wheel speed sensor. Those engine and drivetrain codes are a computers best guess.. I'm assuming the computer could not decipher the conflicting data with the fuel level and assumed it must be a wheel sensor.

That alternator issue brings back memories. I had a 1980 Chevy 1/2 ton van with a 400 and AC.. The only way to change the alternator was to take it loose, move it into the fan shroud, bring it under the motor and back up to the top on the other side of the motor where the battery and brake booster were. Then you could rotate it just right, align the mounting ears and remove it through a small gap, after bending the brake lines a bit to give you clearance.

[@WatchWesWork]

That's crazy. I thought maybe I could get this one out the back through the doghouse, but it will not clear the firewall.
