10 Years ago they where giving these 7.3 away nobody wnated them. everything was Cummins Diesel now, you cant buy the 7.3 anywhere everyone wants them back. After 15 Years of the junk Diesels build after these, now people appricaite them for what they are. I love my 7,3 it been one hell of a great truck with proper maintenance and taking acre of the normal wear stuff they last

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yep, I had soo many opportunities to buy OBS 7.3 trucks for a few hundred bucks and I passed on them. Today they're worth a mint.

[@zachorywilliamson3147]

I have a 2000 F250 with the 7.3 powerstroke. I've had an issue with my power steering for quite some time now I've replaced the pump but still has an issue I also have a rear main leak. But I still wouldn't give up my truck.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

I'm pretty sure most of my 7.3/6.0 trucks all have sloppy steering gearboxes. That's a really common wear point for them.

[@georgea6403]

The Oh you ate one two😂😂

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

LOL 0U812

[@calmanny]

Awesome.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Thanks!

[@whatifyourwrong9153]

So excited for this series got my first early 99 7.3 last year and after binge watching the freedom series gave me the confidence to do some upgrades on mine. Looking forward to seeing all the stuff you cover in this series and then spring so I can turn some wrenches lol. First gotta grab that 7.3 shirt in your merch line. Merry Christmas and thank you for showing this diesel noob your knowledge, best channel on the UTube.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Thanks man! Belated Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

[@Canadianrednecks420]

I love the look of this ford modle

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yeah, me too.

[@TheMoparGarage]

Looking forward to this series!

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Thanks, me too!!

[@marselopena1814]

Are you going to make a video replacing the column that would be a great explination on how to swap one!

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yes, just wrapped up filming it.

[@marselopena1814]

Awsome looking foward to it!!

[@rogercarrico4975]

One hell of a buy for $500 I would say! Runs very nice! Needs some work. But I bet that engine is sound!! My 97 OBS has 270.000 on it. (Purchased it new) I just did the entire front suspension. Ball joints,u joints,Brakes,new rotors,All those spring bushing, New tie rods, redhead steering box, new tires, lots I probably left out😜 I believe those trucks . If taking care of, can go for well over 500,000 miles

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

I agree. I've seen more than a few well above 500K.

[@justinrogers9948]

My old 2001 7.3 has over 500k and it still runs like a dream

[@tldrafaik6144]

A set of tow mirrors too 😁

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Ha ha, just finished putting on a set about 2 hours ago. That'll be in the next video too!!

[@erscustoms911]

Girl says think it will do a burnout lol 😂

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Yep, that's my girl!!

[@johnrain6674]

Sure would where are theylike to know where you find these trucks for 500.00 dollars, and I live in Kentucky

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Only one I've ever seen. I actually bought my black 2000 truck for $2000 in Franklin KY. Here's a playlist for that truck. kzbin.info/aero/PLXuXP0jVIkIYmj6jrCW0MgOdqC5CB24Uf

[@joeygodfrey6579]

A shirt with the obs grill and 7.3 would be awesome

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Good idea. I'll make an OBS 7.3 shirt.

[@Diabolikal1]

Two things.. First Big Red here needs a name. Second definitely do as many episodes as you can. (Side Note) I must have a massive boost leak or something on mine, you got on that thing and it ran like a beast. When I get on mine it almost feels like it's either not getting boost from the turbo or it's like it's resistant to taking more air. (if that makes sense) edit: The gauges are way different from this year 7.3 to my 03 7.3. I don't even see a glow plug light on yours.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

I also have a 2003 with the 6.0 and you're right, the gauges changed a lot in the 2003 model year. Instead of a glow plug light, the older trucks have a "Wait to start" light in the bottom right of the gauge panel.

[@davidlampe4153]

Looking forward to your series on this $500 dollar truck. I know Ford made millions of these trucks, how do you source the junkyard parts that steering column was very clean.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Sourcing parts is easy - Car-parts.com is how I do it. It's a junkyard locater service. works well.

[@Popeye85]

I'm very interested in this series

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

We're at work filming projects on it like crazy. More to come!!!

[@un-limited7009]

How can I find a $500. Truck?

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Man, I wish I knew. My buddy was in the right place asking the right questions at the right time.

[@isuzuaxiom9576]

1st time I watch. Came into my feed. Is this guy the reincarnation of Burl Ives? Please sing “silver and gold” from Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Dude, you for sure don't want me to sing anything. I can sing, but it ain't pretty.

[@budgetfix711]

Nice cap

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

Got it from a dude I know.

[@cjcourter1477]

Really wish I could get lucky and find one of those for 500

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

You and me both.

[@eatadickutubenazis]

Gotta take it on the highway for an exit or two. Or at least get it up to 90 for a few minutes.

[@ProjectTimeGarage]

The way that steering wheel was, I would be scared of it a 30, lol.
