Owning a 7.3L myself I recommend replacing all the engine sensors with the OE sensors from Motorcraft, keep a cam position sensor in the glove box, change the speed sensor in the rear axle, and change the valve cover gaskets as they contain the injector harness internally and they go bad every few years. Install a gear vendor it will pay for itself in fuel economy and you can cruise at 70-80 under 2000rpm. Lastly they run a lot better and quieter with a touch of oil in the diesel at each fill up. 16oz oil to 36gal is about what I run.

[@Diebog]

I can confirm the same! You need oem sensors, and they all should be replaced. Buying anything else is a total waste of money as they will fail prematurely every time. I’ve gone down that road on my 7.3 and paid the price think I was “saving” money. Valve cover gaskets are a must change if they haven’t been updated.

On the other side of that, is when something goes wrong, they say you can fix it, and you have no faith you can. You say you can't; it is hopelessly broken. Then you have an idea, it works, it is fixed, and they yell at you for always giving up. But like, they don't understand, without that eureka, it WAS hopeless! If that happens again and again over 20 years, they literally will not believe you can't fix something. Alien spacecraft is in the back yard, and we need to fix and fly it to escape certain doom, and they be like, "OK, I will grab some Mtn Dew, and Cheetos and take care of the kid.

As a former OBS diesel owner (mine was stolen 2 years ago) here's a couple tips. You should always syphon the oil out of the HPOP reservoir when doing an oil change and refill it completely with fresh oil. This will help with the longevity of the high pressure oil pump and overall cleanliness of your oil. Also, on the in-tank fuel pickup, it only extends to the bottom of the tank with a nylon scoop/screen. The scoop breaks down with the diesel fuel and needs to be replaced. Symptoms of a bad fuel pickup are inability to access all the fuel in the tank and short life span of your fuel pump because the pickup screen is no longer filtering rust and debris from the fuel. The steel tanks are prone to rust from condensation/water. Best upgrade: convert rear drum brakes to disk brakes. I love the Revcon and hope it brings much joy. 😀

[@coryconner7703]

I'm glad someone brought up the fuel pick up. I had the exact same thing happen on the side of the road and couldn't figure it out. I now only run mine to 1/4 tank before I fill it up.

[@moparjr89]

it has aftermarket tanks

[@aeasus]

@@moparjr89 Your observation power continues to serve you well.

[@TheEthanfrancis]

This. A fuel sump (hutch mod) is a great fix.

[@shaun4bigblocks993]

​@@moparjr89I thought that was funny also- it does not have an aftermarket F350 tank, it has a tank, probably with a center partition, fabricates by the RF company. Only the cab is Ford, lol!!

@ under powered !! Don't like them , but thats just my opinion . I'll run a Cummins all day Everyday , my 06 had 165 thou when i had to let it go ( medically retired and pay dropped drastically ) but i ran fuel additive religiously , oil changes religiously and nevwr one problem !! And would flat run over , out pull and WAY BETTER fuel mileage than any i knew with aPowerChoke 7.3l or the Totally Worthlesa 6.0 PowerChoke !!

[@radioactivebanana6774]

Love that Riley can fix anything! What a great camper! You can use this at your house building site! Oliver was so cute talking! What a trip! Nice to travel across US and see all the great sites! Thanks for the video! Riley cracked me up when Courtney said there was smoke and he said the engine light is not on. The eyes and ears always win over tech.

[@JimDean002]

It's fantastic seeing knows someone knowing what they're doing. There's another couple doing a travel video series like this and I watched them the other day stuck in Dubai. Literally the middle of the desert like literally. Flat front tire had no way to fix it. In and overlander truck where you would expect to have everything. Some folks should just stay home, but these folks are clear going at it right

[@urieaaron]

It was great watching you two work together! Funny enough, my cousin has a business in the town where you broke down. You may have felt uneasy, but there's no more convenient Harbor Freight for miles. Breaking down there was a blessing in disguise!

[@ZachNMcCall]

As an OBS 7.3 Powerstroke driver... that rig is a BAMF! I love that engine pretty simple to work on once you know your way around it. I have the old Mechanical pump like that and E fuel set up is on my list of upgrades. I am from the greater Spokane area and it is awesome to see content creators from the general area... I stumbled across the log splitting video last week and been fully enjoying the content since. Keep it up.

[@claytonhughes5256]

I don't think KZbinrs realize how much better the videos are when they have to face adversity. I always give it a like. The drama is awesome

[@jimbob-robob]

Adversity, yeah... this is why a lot of KZbin is fake. Because people only watch "drama" ...and cats...😅

[@BarryHoffman-g4o]

Plus, it helps when all of the bad parts can be edited out. Editing can make your husband look like a genius. Just edit out the parts where he guesses wrong and go straight to the part where he diagnoses the problem correctly and gets straight to the fix.

[@KOK-sc8ez]

I love to watch but I could never be a KZbinr. I was in a similar situation recently (breaking down on a road trip with a baby in the car) and the last thing I wanted to do was whip out a camera in the middle of the chaos! Props to these guys for always remaining calm under pressure and documenting it all 👏 couldn’t be me 🤣

[@jimbob-robob]

@KOK-sc8ez perhaps being an engineer with a wife on hand to handle the child, plus a healthy budget to go buy all the tools and parts would help. Maybe you're not in that position, so trying to film it wouldn't be as possible...

[@Rocketcandy1]

Watching your videos Sunday morning is one of my favorite things every week, thank you for sharing all your adventures!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@bill8582]

I just finished watching, and now I want to find a Revcon 4x4, and sell my coach lol. That thing is so cool, and you can take it anywhere. I love my bus, but it needs tires and that is an 8K plus hit right there for good ones. Seeing that you had to buy tires and wheels on the trip was really something. Your calmness under pressure with the few things that went wrong, was impressive. We drove my bus from northern Ohio, to Texas over two days, with no issues, except the air windshield wipers wouldn't work with both of them on, in an ice storm, so we just used the drivers side, stopped and got some rainex to help. I drove it to Nappanee Indiana from Texas in September of 2023 with only a few hours behind the wheel time, and I left at night, terrible idea, but I made it almost there before my first breakdown, which was the starter, but was able to make it the rest of the trip, before starter finally gave up the ghost, but that was after I got back home. Got a few videos on it.

[@brandonkaufman9307]

This is my favorite vehicle on the internet!! I know it would be a huge project but I would love to see a true 6x6 conversion on this truck

[@wesman7837]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Moving the middle axle to the rear, and getting a pass through, and adding lockers would be bad@$$!

[@josephdover198]

@@wesman7837 It's still far too big to matter. The length would cause it to frame out. Some of the high elevation Rockies passes would be impossible as you need to 6 to 8 point turn some of those in Colorado even in a short version lifted Sunrader that's nowhere near the size of this thing.

[@MrSteveCasper]

As long as you keep the maintenance up and take care of that 7.3 that's a million mile motor. Oliver is growing so fast.

[@fastinradfordable]

Maintenance means different things to ford owners. $1800 injector set. Maintenance $1200 injector cups. Maintenance Wiring disintegrates. Maintenance. Sensors fail Maintenance. Engine filling with fuel Maintenance. 😂😂😂

[@aguanut]

Congratulations on that amazing find. That thing is AWESOME!. I'm glad to see you made it home safely.

[@212caboose]

I really wish more Revcons were built. I really love the overall design. I think they would have done better if they offered different sizes. I would have LOVED to get one that's the same overall length as a crew cab long bed, with a single dually axle.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

A slightly smaller version would be perfect because this thing feels like a mansion inside!

[@josephdover198]

Yeah just like the preferred Sunrader was the shorter version. Well if you were going to lift it, aftermarket parts, motor swap the long version would still be unable to go the places that Sunroamer Overland (Brad) takes his in Colorado.

[@karencooper6634]

Wow! I’m impressed with how calm and respectful you are to each other.. I just had to comment, now back to the video

[@flynncrawford1960]

I grew up on a farm in Southern Ontario, Canada. Curds taste their best when the curds are fresh and warm. When they are refrigerated. curds start to turn to cheese. Fresh curd is squeaky, warm and salty. With beer, they are an excellent snack.

[@AC-pr9vr]

Love the "upper midwest" body panels on your new friends Powerstroke! Definately has a Michigan vibe, would fit right in at home in Idaho.

[@virgilbowman279]

You eat cheese curds one at a time till the bag is gone!!! Also, try poutine, French fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Savor restaurant in Sandpoint makes it really well.

[@Tyler-pf7wx]

No tour of the revcon!?😲 Courtney is a gem. Riley is one smart/handy dude. Loved the snippets of Oliver talking into the camera. Such a beautiful happy family. Wish you all the best.

[@itinertantparishioner8092]

Did you know that there were only 67 Revcons ever built? What an awesome score!

[@kameljoe21]

With that many only built then a new rolling chassis would be ideal for it then.

[@EnGammalAmazon]

A little experience, a little knowledge, and a whole lot of logic.......man, you can troubleshoot anything! I appreciate the indomitable spirit y'all have.

[@208miuwu]

What a wild looking camper. Ya`ll compliment each other, always positive and smiling. I wish you all the best.

[@ncphenom2309]

Cheese curd should be room temp so they are squeaky. Another great option is to microwave them so they melt.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Riley pan fried them one night and oh my goodness we ate the whole bag!

[@ncphenom2309]

@ oh nice!!!!

[@TechOttawa]

Quebec Canada here - store and serve at room temperature lightly salted. the squeak on your teeth as you bite is the idea. Best bought at the cheese factory itself! Mixed with fresh fries and sauce brun gravy makes the famous Quebec Poutine - Food of the Gods! Our curds are white - Wisconsins orange. Same flavour. They can be frozen. Defrost and soak in warm water (86F/30C) to restore the squeak.

[@dmwi1549]

Cheese curd Nachos are awesome-from a Wisconsinite. Too bad you didn’t keep heading north to Door County while you were here. Peninsula State park has awesome colors a couple weeks ago. LOVE that RV. Is that why Riley sold his beloved Quad cab? Hope it fits in the shed!

Thank you for creating/posting this video I really enjoyed it! For 5 years I have been camping across the country in a lightly converted high mileage Ford Transit van.

I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Evelyn Infurna. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.

She hooked me up with a late-stage fund that got me in on private shares of some hot companies before they hit the market or blew up. Those investments totally paid off when the companies went public and their stocks shot up. Now, I’m stoked because I’m heading into retirement with almost a million bucks in my portfolio.
