I bought one about 5 years ago and has saved me hundreds of dollars. 👍

[@codestools1528]

Thank you so much! That means everything to me!!

[@robertbradford2734]

This is some great troubleshooting thanks for breaking it down...👌

[@kyledeck5273]

It's always good to know how to fix and diagnose

[@danielrutledge9788]

Thank you for the info, will try the tool. Bought a Maxi dos ds708 while back, not bad for the $. Not to many devices read the 7.3 that are affordable.

[@Rusted12Valve]

I like that app a whole lot. Great video

[@3374jj]

Looking forward to the outcome. I have a 7.3 as well as a 6.0

[@johnchafin3817]

Looking forward for the next video. Interested in how the oil pressure was fixed.

[@buntik1687]

Great video! 👍🏿

I also have to recommend ForScan for use on a laptop, too. I use it with a usb ELM327 on my company’s newer vehicles because I’m way too cheap to pay SnapOn to upgrade my Solus Pro. I believe ForScan is still free. I’ve even had some success programming as-built data after replacement of electronic modules - not perfect, but allowed me to start it and get to Ford for a proper reflash. I’m not 1/2 the mechanic Steve is, but I thought it is worthwhile information to share.

[@amisakie]

That would be pretty sweet if stephen could could demo forscan. It helped me diagnose my airbag light. Basically it told me there was a short in the wiring.

[@johnchafin3817]

I have used this one myself. Loved it.

[@sixtozaragoza127]

it might be a dam question for forscan do u have to pay monthly or just ones???

[@justicebruno5249]

Have you been able to do a buzz test

[@jmiddlefinger]

@@justicebruno5249 I seem to recall that ForScan had that capability, but it’s been a long time now and I’m a little fuzzy. I was able to do some two-way programming to remediate an issue I was having with a replacement part, but I never had to do a buzz test on any of the work trucks because the majority of the fleet were gassers (landscaping industry) and our 24v Cummins was just too reliable. My truck was a 2001 7.3, so I always used the Solus Pro. Still have the Solus, but it’s only updated through 2014

[@johnchafin3817]

Would be nice to see the displays when you are checking things or changing functions.

[@travissk5036]

Thankyou

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Good video @StephenCox

[@davidhtims]

When I used it I was doing a cylinder contribution test. Worked ok but motor had to be warmed up and perform other tests before it would cycle.

[@kingbolen_official]

Kingbolen Bluetooth OBD2 scanner is the upgrading version of elm327.

[@rexsmith5984]

Do u happen to have the link for the reader for iPhone?

[@huntguy3831]

Is the actual scanner version better? I seen it in the options on amazon for the reader

[@45NUTS_PART_DEUX]

We have Chevy Suburban that has bad battery drain problem , we solved it by installing a trickle charger under the hood. I watch a video from BILLSTMAXX channel were he had a battery on the bench ,and it had a dirty top between the posts , and he moved the multi meter probe from the negative to the positive , the voltage would start to increase on the meter from about 3 volts at the base of the negative terminal to about 11 volts when he was close the base of positive terminal .

[@mitsmillman1652]

Will this do a buzz test

[@peetky8645]

what scan tools work with pre OBD2 7.3L power strokes

[@derrickhillier1173]

Goodday Stephen.Would this app and bod 2 adapter work on class 8 trucks?

[@1rolmos]

So what happened in part 2?

[@CowboyDave07]

I'm surprised you weren't monitoring the IPR Duty Cycle while cranking. Just as important as ICP and far more common than injector o-rings or a pump. Maybe it will be in the next video?

[@gregorybarth930]

My 91 7.3 IDI doesn't have OBD 2 my OBD 1 reader does flashes. Pretty handy if you know how to use it

[@leohernandez7.3powerstroke61]

Does scan tool only for 7.3 powerstrokes or all applications for any vehicle with obd2

[@ironnerd8336]

Use every weapon in your arsenal. Speaking of that, have you hooked your BMW up to Rheingold? It's out there for free if you search and pretty comprehensive.

[@timskiff9422]

Did it start?

[@cunningstunt3916]

Do you have a similar ob2 adapter that works with iPhone for a 1999 f250 7.3?

[@whocares5188]

If the buzz test is good. Does that mean the idm in good?

[@lvsqcsl]

OH! I don't know about the 7.3 liter engines, but on the 6.0 liters you must have at least 540? lbs. of oil pressure from the HPOP to start the engine. I don't think that engine has those plastic STC fittings, so, a bad HPOP? Great video!

[@isaacfigeuroa3858]

How I down load the hpop ? I don’t see on the torque app

[@justicebruno5249]

Can you do a buzz test with this? See a guy doing one with a Bafx WiFi adapter on FORscan. Will the Elm327 do the same as the Bafx adapter

[@dans5017]

My 03 7.3 has been slow to start lately, sounds like the same thing you're having. Mine wil fire off after cranking it a few times for about 20 seconds each time, fires off, no smoke and seems to run normally, just won't fire off in a few seconds like it used too. Just started happening this winter and i have th kit for the o-ring replacement, just haven't gotten them in yet. It would be nice to hear what you came up with on this one.

[@motor2of7]

Dan S check the glow plug relay, especially if the problem improves on warmer days.

[@scandaleux]

Hey I dont know much about diesels and have been looking for a 7.3 any notable obd 2 readings I look out for? I already saw your tips video for checking a 7.3 but you didnt go over looking at anything on the obd2

[@yoanlm1872]

hi, does anyone know if this scanner recognizes bad injectors?

[@whocares5188]

What was the problem??

[@WhattheVloggity]

What is this App called on Apple?

[@DL-1]

How do you get software and tools to test a semi-truck before you buy it, and to know what is wrong with it if it breaks down? Where would I get whatever it is and how much would it cost?

[@MJTAUTOMOTIVE]

Purchase a good scan tool.

[@Tahoe0512]

Wow. They turned it back on. What milage I should change injectors on 7.3L? I have 204K on it. They are all good and no problem with starting engine or fuel mileage is about 15.5mpg.

[@silvergrizzly316]

Tahoe0512 • I just turned over 200,000 miles on my 2000 7.3 and injectors, tranny, glo plugs everything still running fine and I've pulled two campers and two pontoon boats quite frequently. Except in the last 20 years I've had to replace the camshaft positioning sensor 3 times. I couldn't be any happier with my 7.3. My last offer for it was 5 years ago and he offered $20k and I had to say, "no thank you".

[@Tahoe0512]

@@silvergrizzly316 that is pretty great. To be honest I will keep my 7.3L until the end. And I think it will be the end of me not 7.3L. I am in my upper 40.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

That is an idea.

ok where's part 2?

[@marypatton1122]

Hey Steve! I was a sub 9f Mark Carriker's channel and came to your channel because if him. I was wondering if this device and app works on regular "old lady car" i have a 2017 Toyota Camry. I would love to have this diagnostic tool. (In high school, I was the only girl to sign up for auto mechanic shop class. The school made a girl's auto shop class in 1973 so I know how to adjust and clean carburetors...lol. For a girl, I'm a little mechanically inclined and mechanics have a harder time ripping me off. Now days sensors give me fits and I know nothing about fuel injection. A thingamabob like that whatchamacallit would be a great gizmo for someone like me so what do you suggest for my new fangled car? 😝

[@remembergodisalwayswithyou6862]

Hi stevens how are you 💟

[@biggun98056]

So do you like the ford diesels over the others meaning Chevy and dodge I like the ford body style better then the others just kind of scared of the ford for the bad reputation they have are they cheaper to maintain then the others I would like to get something to haul a camper to Alaska and back if we ever get the Coronavirus under control thanks for the video take care

[@jimskelton7078]

I have what is called a "late 99" 314k miles. I've replaced, water pump, ICP sensor, both front wheel bearings, steering box and starter. All was done around 290k miles. The early 99's have a smaller turbo compressor housing and the 02 and newer 7.3 has weaker internals. Late 99's were built in March 99. I'll drive this truck until nothing is worth fixing. I hate the new body styles and word on the street is the 6.4 is junk.

[@redmantrees35]

I have to spray starting fluid in my 7.3 for nearly 2 years now to get it started from a cold start. Any idea why that is? I have about 340k on the motor and have done little maintenance to it in the last 100k. Thanks for the videos

[@jcassmallengine918]

Check your glowplug relay with a test light. Chances are your glowplugs arent getting power. I would start there the relays are pretty cheap too if it turns out to be that

[@sheeshmcgeesh7441]

Anybody out there using a Raspberry Pi to monitor 95 powerstroke 7.3 ??

[@rdeanbenson2214]

Would like to be watching your phone? Ap, screen, for procedures...

[@brianmunch1827]

Why do you mention that batteries are dead? Most people would drain them trying to start their truck with starting issuse.

[@cmusic52]

Have u seen Taylor Ray's channel? Put a 3rd Gen 5.9L Cummins in a 2nd Gen Ford Super Duty 6.4L F-350 and can't figure out why it won't start, can't even read it with a programmer
