What a HEALTHY 7.3 Powerstroke should sound like 👍

7.3L Powerstroke, one of the best

Good 7.3! Take care of that beauty! Love the sound of these things when they idle.

[@BraysonMcMillian-gy9nk]

Love. That powerstroke sound

its that cammed out diesel sound thats amazing, and at full throttle it levels out and DELIVERS POWER!

That’s what they sound like with split shot injectors, healthy single shots still clatter like hell

450k miles and still sounds like that original everything including the turbo only thing ve had to change is the rear main seal and oil dipstick gasket and oil pan gasket

gotta love that International diesel sound of the 7.3

It Rattles so good! Healthy Injectors clanking!

awesome!

yep yep and the nice thing is it talks to you no sound deadening insulation ...

Sounds healthy

[@DirtyDiezel]

tons of power, no blow by

[@tylerwightman2315]

Do an oil crossover line from head to head and it will sound even better! Did one last year on my rig with 376,000 mi. and i cant believe how smoother and quieter it sounds. Sounded just like yours before (not that yours sounds bad...quite healthy actually) but you WILL hear the difference

[@DirtyDiezel]

Mine has a tuner that shoots a larger first shot of fuel than stock so it bangs a touch harder in the volume.

[@theone7549]

so they just sound like there ticking at idle? also it would be helpful if someone could tell me but i have a 97 7.3 powerstroke and theres a ticking you can only hear from the outside on the passenger side

[@DirtyDiezel]

yes the injectors have a loud clicking noise every time the fire they are under high oil pressure to run properly. Ticking noise from outside hood can be many things including exhaust leaks...

[@collinhildreth5005]

I have an obs 245,000 miles runs great

What’s a normal idle range when it’s warm? 800? 600? 1000?

[@DirtyDiezel]

600rpm

[@DirtyDiezel]

do you own a Diesel?

Mine sounds like that with 348000

[@DirtyDiezel]

F yeah

[@elijahchickvary6962]

That’s what mine sounds like and has great power but still cuts out intermittently around 1800-2000rpm…

[@DirtyDiezel]

sounds like a High Pressure Oil Pump issue, not enough pressure. Do you have oil in the valley? If so its your HPOP leaking down

[@Bixnoodle]

Mine sounds way louder than that for some reason

[@DirtyDiezel]

any upgrades?

[@THEGIRAFFA]

What intake is that?

just a 4" aluminum tube and a spectre air filter

@@DirtyDiezelhey there, got a question, regardless if it is a cold start, warmed up start, block heater plugged in, my truck always idles at 8-900 rpm. Is that normal or could there be another issue with my engine that I should look into?

[@DirtyDiezel]

Thats a little high by 200 rippims, normal is 600 . I would look for a vacuum leak or boost leak @@Bread-Baguette

[@Bread-Baguette]

@@DirtyDiezelI found out that it has a 6 position chip and it was set to 140 hp so it had an rpm increase

no additives

2000 7.3 zf6 I have hissing sound when hitting gas pedal, then when let off goes away. Any ideas, it’s 100% stock with 145,000 miles

[@Truckguy6969]

My guess what he to check your crank case vent and then your up pipes and turbo pipes and boots and what not

[@clarkwilliams9967]

hissing sound, sounds like exhaust back pressure issues. possible boost issue. got any codes. id love to help

[@jon-xq2lc]

@@clarkwilliams9967 I haven’t had it checked for codes yet, once the weather warms up I’m going to do all of that, I do not drive it very much. Once a month maybe.

[@Lonewolf23-26]

@@jon-xq2lc I’d second that ebv tube and sensor for the hiss, that tube gets cracked it’ll hiss like an air tank fitting. Icp sensor is where I’d go after checking that. Also check for boost leaks on plenum, all the boots, red line off the waste gate etc…

Change your HPOP oil

[@wheatsuperduty3773]

@@Outdoorsnmotors that can make it sound better?

[@Outdoorsnmotors]

@@wheatsuperduty3773 yes, the HPOP oil doesn’t mix very well with your regular oil, so it makes your injectors sound clanky because of bad oil, there’s a little plug on top of the HPOP just remove the plug and suck out as much oil as you can and put fresh oil in it. I do it every oil change.
