2001 7.3 powerstroke

[@22goDpeehs]

Picked up my 02 7.3 a year ago with 248,000 on her, strong heart and tested indeed. Love for these great machines is what drives our community. I've done a straight driveshaft, new front axle, two cracked wheels replaced, new gearbox & power steering pump, ac work, batteries, and I'm picking her up from the hospital in the morning after a trany-transplant from last week. Ya gotta want it & find a way to get it. Keep on rollin' & nice work! Impressive!

[@NoHalfAss]

Very cool bro!!! That’s awesome🤘🏻 and thank you!🙌🏻💯

[@dkilinski1]

A lot of respect for you

[@gabower09]

Hell yea man! I know you said you welder, but didn't know you were a Boilermaker. That's awesome! Much respect for your welding skills! I'm a second year apprentice Steamfitter for Local 434 in Central Wisconsin. I'm currently in stages of building my '96 OBS flatbed. Once I get done with it, I want to sell it to buy a 7.3 or 6.0 Super Duty. Just gotta say, I like what you're doing with the channel and enjoy watching you build your dream truck. Once I'm done with my apprenticeship, I hope to start building my dream truck too!

[@NoHalfAss]

Nice bro that’s awesome!! Great trade!🤘🏻 that’s sick bro I want to build an OBS one day myself💯 and thanks bro, I’m Glad you enjoy the content 🙏🏻 it means a lot🤘🏻

[@anonymousgeorge4321]

Great video, man. Keep on doing what you're doing.

[@NoHalfAss]

Thank you bro!🤘🏻🙌🏻🔥💯

[@TripletDadLife]

Use cash back credit cards then pay off card a day or two after purchase. This way you save more. Just spend what you have in your bank. A good one is Citi Double Cash. 2% cash back for all purchases. Stuff adds up over a year. Example you spend $20,000 a year in just everyday purchases....That is $400 back into your pocket.

[@NoHalfAss]

Yeah that’s true bro! I have been thinking about doing that actually. I’ll look into the Citi Double Cash one you recommended. Thanks man!!!

[@YENKOGT]

Congrats Cody... I respect your way too take life and risks... This channel will be bigger one day.

[@aadendolan3048]

do you have any tips for truck i also have a job as a machanic

[@NoHalfAss]

AADEN DOLAN thank you bud! I’m glad you enjoy my videos! And that’s very cool man! You can lift a 2wd 6 inches with a lift kit. Unfortunately if you want a bigger lift than 6 inches it has to be 4x4. It is possible to lift a 2wd higher than 6 inches but it will have to be all custom. They don’t sell kits for it.

[@Matt-bx1ge]

Hell yeah I got a 2000 7.3 on 8 inch lift and I’m 18 turning 19 on may 17th I got my 7.3 and a 19 ram I’m leasing always pay cash for everything also and I’m a millwright by trade too local 1102

I laughed when I seen what you do for a living. I’m laughing because I’m 26 and a boilermaker. I have a 2005 f350 6.0 lifted slightly on some 35’s. Bunch of engine mods and various other things. I’m also a certified asme combo pipe welder. I’m just sitting here like well we’re up to the same thing. Other then you being in la and me being in the sticks of Tennessee. Heck yes man keep on keeping on.

[@benb6801]

Might buy a 7.3 Tomarrow hopefully, I also weld don’t live to far from la how did you come across becoming a boiler

[@NoHalfAss]

Nice bro that’s awesome!🤘🏻 and I found out about boilermaker work through my neighbor that did it for a living.

[@benb6801]

80HD Projects how do you get into that type of work though I’ve been thinking about trying to become a boil maker I know it’s good money, been welding for 4 years now

[@NoHalfAss]

Ben B well It’s non union around here so I just applied at the company itself. Around here there’s not really a boilermakers union, it’s all non union private companies. I had a little over a year of welding experience when I applied. The industry is a little slow right now with everything goin on but you could try applying at some companies. Just google search boiler service companies in So Cal.

[@benb6801]

80HD Projects thanks bro!!

[@blakejustice8212]

Respect the hustle man, glad to see more young people working paying for stuff in cash with no debt 💪🏻.

[@blakejustice8212]

I also pay cash & don’t like debt. Preach

[@NoHalfAss]

Hell yeah man!🤘🏻💯

[@toroscarvings4837]

Your videos are very inspiring and I hope that I can get as far as you did with your repairs and channel. If you ever get a chance, it would be an honor to get some advice/criticism from you for videos on my channel. My channel is a bit of a mix, with some 7.3 repairs but also carvings and projects that I have done. But if you ever get a chance it would be greatly appreciated. Your videos have been very helpful and inspiring for me. Keep it up and thank you.

[@NoHalfAss]

For sure bro!! I’ll check out your channel later tonight when I get home from work🤘🏻 glad my videos inspire you🙌🏻🙏🏻💯

[@toroscarvings4837]

Thank you

[@davidpaniagua4948]

Have you ever thought about upgrading the front end to a 2016

[@NoHalfAss]

David Paniagua yes I have. I had a 2004 6.0 with a 2016 front end and loved it. But honestly I love the front end on my 7.3 as is and there’s lots of other mods I want more so if I do decide to do it, it won’t be for awhile. I’d rather do a front axle swap and a coil spring conversion first.

[@billyw9746]

That's the way to do it. Love the truck Cody. How about showing some welding and tips?

[@NoHalfAss]

Thank you bro! Some other people asked for that too. Not a bad idea at all!🤘🏻

@@NoHalfAss yeah I just bought the truck for $7k with new transmission I actually sent you a message on Instagram earlier I actually watched your video. And talked to my dad he's a diesel mechanic. He had one when I was growing up so I bought it as my first truck. I love it got some upgrades to do it's stock besides few things I have done to it thanks to your videos

[@robertdivany1627]

Bro ,you are a boiler maker? That's one heck of a job..is that something similar to a plumber? You are making a good money then pal..good luck to you and enjoy your beautiful truck

[@NoHalfAss]

Robert divany there’s some similar work for sure. I thread pipe and run lines with valves and different fittings etc etc. but the boiler tube work you see at the end of the video is something we do that plumbers don’t. So it is a little different. But often similar work for sure!

[@robertdivany1627]

@@NoHalfAss ,man i just wanted to wish you the best and enjoy your beautiful truck..am sure you are proud of it ..that is one beautiful truck you built..im looking to get one myself to.but it looks like I have to get it from Florida or texas because out here in NY where I live is very hard to find a good one that is not rusty due to so much snow and salt during the winter..

[@YENKOGT]

This was me several years ago... But.. I don't drink , I don't smoke.. I don't party... When I was on the university I start working by my self.. and I always keep the bully thing of "ooh you don't drink..don't be a pussy "etc etc "ooh you don't party.. that's lame" but i didn't like it.. it wasn't for me.. and that saved me money.. . my mom sell "freezed chicken" Hudson and Tyson... I buy from her.. and delivered to 3 stores.. that's why a I got my first 7.3 , it was a 95 with a manual stick.. I load him with 100 boxes of freezed chicken hahaha Hudson or Tyson, they where 4,000 pounds on my bed.. and I got to delivered by my self... 100 cases each store.. it was a difficult job because I was my only employee haha I end up Whit 3 good stores and one small.. but I start to making money, I was going to be a veterinarian, but this small business got me interested.. then I start to sell eggs.. hahaha boxes of 360 eggs each.. so I made more money.. i buy my self a 94 Pontiac trans am , it was my dream car.. then I got a opportunity to upgrade to a 99 f250 7.3 and I go for it... I get robbed on my bussines but start a poultry farm.. I quit university.. and put all my effort to my bussines.. start little I grow a little too, then I got broke.. because contraband eggs were cheaper than produce them.. I lost 2 3rds of my bussines, sell my 99 f250 because I'm broke.. buy a Ford ranger diesel (in my country there are several options of diesel trucks) a 2.8td powerstroke ranger... Start my business again.. I start to selling chicken food hahaha for egg poultry.. I got a nice price for my farm so I sell to smaller farms too..years past and my farm got *stable , but my chicken food business got better...so I buy a 95 Cummins and load it with 8,000 pounds of grains for chicken on a trailer.. and start to sell them to other farms... Then I got another 2000 f250 7.3, my girlfriend start working with me, we load it with 4,000 pounds on the bed , two years later... Prices don't let us be competitive.. so give up that business but continue producing eggs , beside my farm I start working for a incubation plant, and my girlfriend took care of the farm, I love Chevy trucks and years early I buy a 88 Silverado, lt1 swap in, air suspension etc etc , almost 10 years later I traded for a 2003 Dodge Cummins , this was a good deal for me, because in my country (Guatemala ) this trucks are expensive and my Silverado was a mall queen.. it was beautiful but I couldn't work with it.. now I'm starting to see my young job getting paid.. I own my own land where the farm is.. not a big land but it's mine.. the farm bussines pays my month expenses, and sometimes I got to save a little , now I work for a bigger farm too, I see production... Egg production.. they give me so much liberties.. they trust me so much, even if I'm not a veterinarian or a expert, when there's no truck available unload my pick up with a trailer and load it with the production and help the company to get their product on time, no question ask I do it.. I even make a hand made trans oil cooler with pipes and a fan.. for long travels and traffic on my 99 7.3 . I buy things that are useful, I don't own any more Pontiacs or Camaros haha only a old 96 as Impala that I see as a investment, there's only one on my country and it's mine.. So I spect to sell him one day, needs paint and interior work.. but it will be done.

[@NoHalfAss]

That’s a great story bud! I respect the self employment route a lot! It’s hard work but worth it! I see you’ve owned quite a few 7.3s and other vehicles! Hahaha. And that’s really cool you have the only impala like yours in your country! Very awesome! Thank you for sharing that awesome story!!!🙌🏻
