The triumphant return of the 7.3 IDI

[@COLTSWAY]

Found out my heater core popped. That’s why coolant was on the floorboard. I’ll get her fixed up quick! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

[@Campfirepiston]

thats what i said DICK...........No, she ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio

[@21psd]

Where the red fern grows is a classic tear jerker, everyone should read the book. Dan and Little Ann ❤

[@glensenterfeit4556]

Love seeing your progress with ole 7.3 and sorry to hear of Tucker’s passing. I’m sure you gave him a great life and remember all dogs go to Heaven.

[@danielanaya267]

Colt you freaking crack me up! The truck is perfect stock with clear coat 👍🏼

[@SergioBuilds]

We watch all the way to end brother. Great truck, God bless!

[@MavoTheGreat]

Ion know how im just finding your channel ole boaaa but that damn “buscchhhhh” with the pinky lift in the intro done sold me on “COLTS WAY” yous my kinda people. Im here for the long run, CMON 💪🏼

[@COLTSWAY]

My man!! Hope to see you around in the comments more! 🇺🇸🍺🦅🇺🇸

[@justinb6761]

Good shit! I loved those trucks. I had a 89 and a 95 f250 at one time

[@hulennesmith1674]

Love the 7.3 videos keep updating as you do more. I’m working on a 1997 7.3

[@McCoy_Judd]

Rig look good brother!! I know what you mean . I just sold my 21 450 K.R. to get back in a 2000 7.3 f350 dually lariat. Love the old Powerstrokes. Currently working on it everyday after work to get her where I want her to be. Hope another week or so I can take her for a spin.

[@luke8210]

That 3rd brake light is a cargo light. Turn the headlight knob all the way to the left. You will feel the detent.

[@21psd]

Correct, 3rd brake lights hadn't been invented yet. It's a cargo light

[@McCoy_Judd]

The legend, Chris LeDoux!!

[@2460joel]

That's a nice sound on that rig man!!!

[@xavierhetu9966]

can't wait to see what you're gonna do with that truck

[@SLEDNXS70]

So sorry to hear about Tucker Uncle Colt. I pray God will be with you and your family to comfort you all. Go BLUE!

[@mikes79]

Hey Colt, great to see you and the 7.3 again. Regarding your door panels - have you seen videos “refurbish plastic with a torch”? Incredible that it works. May be worth a try before you shop for new ones. Sorry to hear about Tucker-great you rescued him and gave him a wonderful life. See you soon.

[@jagman2962]

Was gonna mention the torch method. Should work great on those panels.

[@user1-c8yrrr]

Good to see you, Colt. The Rig looks good!

[@robertweigandt9449]

Colt the truck looks great. I love old school my self. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tdotw77]

3:04 I believe that canister thingy is the called the AC accumulator. Nice to see the return if the 7.3 idi! 👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩🛢️ ✊🏻🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸✊🏻

[@tdotw77]

20:56 No 3rd brake light up there back then, it's just a white light that comes on when you turn headlight switch counter-clockwise to the detent where the interior 'dome' light on the roof comes on. I don't think the brake light wiring was put in up there til later -'93 on maybe? 🤔👌🏻👍🏻 ✊🏻🇺🇸🦅

[@tdotw77]

I'm sure the front springs are just really tired out and not holding up the heavy weight of the 7.3 too well anymore. Just replacing them with new factory springs will bring front end up like 2 inches probably. Stick an extra helper into the pack to give it more support. Just take it to a spring shop that does custom work they'll get you situated and won't be too much money, not like buying a legit lift kit online. Anyways enough rambling, it's nice to see a video from you and sorry to hear about the loss of the dog.

[@joec9366]

Great video Colt! Glad to see the old IDI back! Quick tip: try using a small butane torch on the door panels before you go and spend money on new ones. It can restore that old plastic. Also try wiping linseed oil on the body of the truck before you spend money on clear coating it. Some food for thought, keep up the good work brotha!

[@kyler213]

Man I'm sorry to hear about Tucker! Until recently, I've always had beagles that I used to take rabbit hunting too, but after my last one that I had for 16 years, I needed something different because seeing other beagles teared me up. Where the Red Fern Grows was my favorite book in school. In fact it was the only book I can honestly say I ever read cover to cover back then haha. I was born in 83 too so I've seen those tape deck cleaners and was gonna suggest trying that until I heard you say you bought one later in the video. Hopefully that works. I love that you're trying to keep it as original as you can! I love that truck! My first vehicle was an 81 F150 and a lot from your truck reminds me of my old one. I wish I still had that old turd lol. Take care brother! Get that heater core fixed too 😜

[@packingbone1953]

Love it

[@jagman2962]

Fun damn project man!!! She’s a freakin beast just the way she is. One day I’ll be doin the same. 😂 I had a tucker that passed years back,part basset/lab.Great dog. Look forward to future updates on the beast!😃👍

[@ibraunchy20-vn5kd]

I'm on my third beagle , she is my riding buddy , loves to ride , truck tractor 4 wheeler it dont matter she wants in , love the little shitts

[@Nick-gi6ym]

I sorry about the dog that’s a rough situation. Yes new tires and 2 inch. peace brother

[@MediocreMulligan]

Sorry to hear about Tucker brother. Love the videos and the truck progress. Excited for the next video!

[@Tylerwoods21]

Love that you want to keep it the same!!!

[@roscobear6143]

As the 1 still watching...ya welcome brother ** BUSHHHHHHHH**

[@77teahupoo]

Sorry about Tucker , great story.

[@tonyfisher5322]

Always look forward to your vids!

[@steventelles7564]

Had same issue with 88 mustang I had years ago with core leaking . Kinda a pain to replace. Just to get back on the road u could buy a bypass tee from autozone cheap fix to drive u just won’t have a heater. Anyways nice work man. Love the content.

[@truckdriver656]

sorry about your dog love the videos

[@toyehooks8239]

Definitely Sorry for the loss of Y’all’s Pup!! But how bout that beard pick laying on the seat!! 👊

[@G19amc]

Love it. makes me miss my 95 F350 7.3, I so miss that sound. That sound is the only thing missing from my 20 6.7. Good/best music choices too IMO. There are places that will repair the old tape decks. About 10-15 years ago I send in my 8-Track player from my 73 AMC Javelin, and had it repaired, but like I said it was quite some time ago.

[@richgollihur9585]

Colt, on the leak under the dash it is the heater core. So sorry to hear about Tucker.

[@bobbycakes]

colt, i had a truck like that , & the cruise was messed up. it was a switch in the steering & it was connected to the horn crap. if you fix the horn it may fix the other. either way good luck. glad you got her rolling!

[@danielbolen526]

Love the IDI got a 91 standard and 93 automatic and both are just fun to drive and will outlast the trucks made today

[@jasonfrost2895]

Sorry for your loss of Tucker !!! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@danielanaya267]

Perfect stock, cleared and tall skinny tires 👍🏼

[@TheExtra40414]

YOO, was looking forward to seeing the 7.3 back.

[@antanddonna]

Cruise control may be a bad clutch switch or brake switch. That can cause it not to work. Just a thought! Love the vids keep it up!!!

[@AsphaltCowboy.]

Nice lookin rig brother!

[@speedy4829]

Colt-those door panels look like they are in good shape, except for the color. You might want to consider dying them and see if it works out vs replacing. Might be worth the $40 gamble before buying new.

[@dirtpicasso]

Another awesome video Colt👍 keep them coming

[@ronaldrosolowski6387]

They make an interior vinyl dye/paint. It is like $20. You could try to restore the door panels before replacing them. Cheap option.

[@kellystanley8870]

My cruise would go out ( and my anti lock brakes) when the 3rd brake light would go out on my 97. Not sure if your model is the same but worth a shot!

[@davidr2941]

Sorry to hear about Tucker. 🫡

[@MultiGuitar82]

I was watching some of your old videos today and was wondering when I was going see some new shit coming from your and than boom son here you are lol Nice truck man I wish I could find one in good shape to buy but people that have it don’t want to sell them so… lucky you 😂

[@kodiklemann8934]

Man Colt, if it’s anything my 2001 f150 you’d better get an extra 12 pk of Buuuuuush. Heater cores suck on fords. Good luck brother. Truck is looking good son!

[@doctor41baller]

Ford Ranger! Fast AF boiiii

[@timthody2890]

Turn that injection pump up buddy!!

[@tiffanyhinton1811]

Tucky ❤

[@John5ive]

I dont give a shit this is Colts way!

[@coreywmorris]

SEM color coat paint if the doors panels are just faded, used on my 85 f150 interior pieces.

[@mileshiles1287]

I was looking for cassettes to send you if you wanted them. I couldn't find any but I know I have some. I would probably drive it if I had it as well.👍🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@jasonfrost2895]

You have to make a video when you take that mirror !!! I'm laughing my ass off thinking of you grabbing that mirror !!! 😂

[@freddynorman]

Instead of clear coat on patina paint I read where people were using linseed oil.

[@Merritt3246]

Just repaint the door panels if they're good shape!

[@ryanpowell6115]

2.5 inches is all you need son! 😂😂

[@mattl9449]

Are you sure it’s a 3rd brake lite? I think thats just a bed lite. Turn the headlights switch and see if it turns on. 🦅🇺🇸

[@77teahupoo]

For the crust control, it might be a loose nut behind the wheel.😅

[@asullivan50i]

Colt, looking to replace my factory exhaust on my 6.7 similar to what you did to yours. Have you had any issues with the changes made to your truck relating to your exhaust setup? Thanks man.

[@JimmyJammer1]

Hey BadAzzs How bout doing a video of 6.7 egr block off but not removed .

[@77teahupoo]

Heater core , easy fix

[@toyehooks8239]

That’s a Accumlator or filter dryer, which ever one you want to call it

[@cigarsgunsanddiesel8032]

28:25 😓😓

[@chriscauthen3958]

Save your money on clear coating it, rub some linseed oil on it, re-apply every 1 to 2 years. Same effect, less $

[@DankoStojanovic]

Colt, how can I send you my cassette player. I have a 92 truck and I'm never gonna go play any tapes. May as well send it to you. Just get a PO box and put it into channel description or something.

[@randjohn0630]

If you do the add a leaf you will need drop brackets for the pivot points for the TTB...if not your camber will look dumber than the front lean....ask me how I know

[@swampdaddy3707]

I’m pretty sure a straight pipe on a idi ain’t good for it. It needs some kind of back pressure.. muffler or turbo..

[@COLTSWAY]

I didn’t know that….I’ll check into it, thank you! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

[@JMSynthetics]

How much was the hair pick on ebay? 🤣

[@DuncanLiban5849]

U don't see how.Just because u don't see it doesn't mean its not there. Hahaha

[@jameswallace26]

LMC truck.... about 182 for a set off door panels. 379 if ya want the cloth insert. Careful with LMC they can make ya spend all your money, they have damn near every bolt and screw needed.

[@jameswallace26]

Don't ask a question, then give the answer before we get a shot at it... LOL. Typed my whole answer posted it then saw you already stole my answer. Had to delete it so I didn't look stupid by putting the same thing under your shit. Good to see ya back. Catch ya again about February or March. Lol

[@COLTSWAY]

My bad brother!!! I got to googling and figured it out after I recorded everything! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

[@DuncanLiban5849]

Hahaha

[@jordangochnour7356]

If ADHD had a southern accent 😂

[@COLTSWAY]

My man!!! 😂😂😂🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

[@jordangochnour7356]

I’m right there with you brother lol

[@jordangochnour7356]

Sorry for the loss of your dog by the way. Had to put mine down this year too. One of the only things to make a grown man feel feelings.

[@COLTSWAY]

You ain’t lying brother. Sorry for yours as well. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
