How To Install & Set Up, Torque Pro &Forscan on a 7.3 or 6.0 Powerstroke Diesel | For Beginners

How to set up Torque Pro and ForScan using a cheap Bluetooth OBD2 reader on your 7.3 and 6.0 Ford Powerstroke Diesel Trucks. I've had so many questions about how to get data from the 7.3 and 6.0 Ford Powerstroke Diesel engines I decided to make a video covering the basics, plus how to get those nifty dashboard views on your phone or tablet.

My uncle bought his 7.3 brand new in 2002. He’s had it ever since and it’s been babied and very well taken care of. He is selling it to upgrade to a fancy new one and I couldn’t be happier that he said he’d make sure I get to buy it off him. This thing is pristine! Only 75k miles, lariat trim, crew cab, and already leveled with 35’s! It’ll be mine here in a couple months and I am so stoked!

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Man, that's a great deal right there. I can only hope your uncle's new one lasts as long as that old 7.3

@@ProjectTimeGarage Dumb IT question alert: I don't have a data package with my cellular phone provider, only talk and text on my Android device, can I download and run Torque or Forscan strictly off my homes wifi in my driveway to scan engine issues on my 02 Nissan Frontier? Thks.

[@theungrateful]

​@@MasterArmedforces I realize this is old, but yes, this would work.

[@FoolPullDiesel]

Awesome! Another person in the club!! Glad to have ya. You say it had a leveling kit.. I also did one but it sent the front of the truck higher than the back(opposite rake). Anyways, didn’t like it, called SD springs and they sent me the heaviest dutiest springs I could get. Now the truck looks great and hawls even better. Just thought I’d share

[@CarlKoyi]

Thank you brother I'm an old dog and I appreciate people like you more than you know I've been in the field for a long time but I have been disabled for 10 years. Maybe I can get my truck running again correct way now. It was always so expensive and unobtainable for me to use a diesel scanner it was just so expensive so thank you for helping me catch up do the new world and may God bless you again

Great video. I would add that OBD2 extension cables are available so your scanner isn't hanging down into the foot well.

Different lengths and orientations cables can be had inexpensively...

I really need to order a 90degree cable. Off to Amazon!!

[@TheGhungFu]

@@ProjectTimeGarage Be sure to check the orientation of your OBD2 port. Some are backwards to others. You can get cables that go left or right, depending on your port (look at pictures, all that). They'll still work but you'll have to loop the cable 180 degrees.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yep, Oil Pressure and Engine Coolant Temp are not reported to the ECU. The temp sender and oil pressure sending units go directly to the gauges on the dash. The truck uses oil temp to gauge how warm/cold it is. Also, there's no compelling reason to worry about oil pressure in a HEUI injection system. If the low pressure pump fails, it will stop sending oil to the HPOP and the truck will die immediately. Basically, no oil pressure, no start/run.

@@ProjectTimeGarage OBDLink MX+ OBD2 It’s $139.95 on Amazon. Worked great with Forscan lite on my iPhone 14. (ICP, IPR ETC.) Used it to diag my bad IPR I Bought a cheap $20 one on Amazon and could only check codes, monitors and clear CEL, couldn’t see live data though

@@ProjectTimeGarageThought I replied already..guess I spaced. On the Forscan website on their list of recommended OBD2 Bluetooth connectors there’s one called “OBDLink MX+” it’s expensive ($139.95 on Amazon) It worked good for me on iPhone with Forscan lite diagnosing my IPR issue. Can’t say forsure if it works with torque pro or android as I don’t have either. Hope it helps, also curious how much those discontinued OBD Bluetooth connectors cost. $139 is a lot of money but still cheaper than buying snap on scanner or the Ford scanner RiffRaff diesel sells.
