Will it start?! Previous shop says bad engine! 7.3l Powerstroke REVIVAL or BUST!?

[@klikliks_service]

My 1995 sat for 12 years. I put batteries in it and fed it some ether, and it started right up.

[@hrdiesel]

Thats awesome!

[@helgaairhead]

Mate - I will absolutely tap that like button - well deserved. Informative in terms of explaining about the HEUI system and how to do the basic's when having a crank-no start. Very happy to see people take care of theese old dinosaurs - not all have the money to drive a new vehicle or a Greta T. approved ride... Blessings from Norway 👌👍

[@hrdiesel]

Thank you very much!!!

[@danielupton3495]

I got a 03 7.3 service truck just hit 225k runs mint 👌

[@ZakryPainter]

Man I love the sound of a 7.3😍

[@dandable]

Those old 7.3 power stroke are hard to kill. Good job being her to fire up.

[@hrdiesel]

Those are very hard to kill!

[@rogerdesautels6718]

They are very good engines

[@jeffreypinder9398]

Well done, Sir. She sounds great.

[@average2956]

This is a great video! Keep up the great work it is super interesting and cool learning more about these diesels!

[@hrdiesel]

Thank you! I love working on older diesels.

Hi I’m sow happy for you , I just bought a 1999 7.3 slow crank no start , I put new battery’s , still slow start , we check the wires, ground connections , we connected power directly to the starter, still a slow crank , I just ordered a new starter , and yes my glow plug connections looks rusty , i tough they are just for cold season, I can feel how happy you are , man against machine. 😢😢😂🎉

[@hrdiesel]

Good luck! On a 7.3 the temps dont have to drop much before they need glow plugs

[@xxxmikeyjock]

weak starters are a common no start. put a big Denso on it. get er spinning fast

[@BrandonLeech]

Dead glow plug relay and the shop says the motor is trashed. What a bunch of town clowns.🤣 You can just jumper the two big terminals with a flat blade screwdriver to bypass the relay if you suspect it's bad, which they often are. Not an expensive part. This truck has had a couple of bozos monkeying around with it I can tell, but looks surprisingly stock under the hood.

[@BassMaann]

Awesome job! saving this video for when I find a decent diesel truck with a HEUI system that's a will crank but no start.

[@hrdiesel]

Glad it helped!

[@KiyaWarrior]

CPS, IPR, HPOP, Fuel Filter, Air Filter, Glow Plugs, Injectors. Just replaced all of those and she'll fire up easy. :) Good video though.

[@jackwhite1738]

Good job

[@bentonheath7838]

Hotshot Secret Stiction Eliminator additive to the oil will solve a lot of issues.

[@dustindonald9862]

If you bought the truck and cleaned it up a bit with all the fixens, she would be an awesome tow rig for a camper or heavier setup. Nice Pickup

[@hrdiesel]

Yep that truck is still a really good truck however the owner has his own plans for it. I think he wants to turn it into a tow rig of some kind

[@kirkpalmer1709]

I was curious to see if there was any significant blowby.

[@livewithnick]

great job!

[@smokeskull]

I try starting a old 7.3idi that sat in a field and when it finally went a huge packrat nest came ahooting out the exhaust.

[@justnsaliga8518]

that RPM needle didn't even budge 9:52 I would've thrown a CPS at it immediatly almost gurantee that CPS is going out... intermittent working is pretty common for a old one or a bad one. and it just will die and not start. and randomy might start working. if the customer brings it back because it randomly dies. or shuts off or won't turn back on throw a CPS in it.

[@hrdiesel]

Good catch! The customer hasn't picked it up yet so Im going to check into it. Thanks for bringing that up!

[@georgep.2952]

I put a new cps from ford dealer in my 7.3 and it’ll still randomly die driving or coming to a stop more frequently

[@poweredbyford87]

​@@georgep.2952is the oil level good? Is it way past change time or real dirty?

[@robloxplayer-bu1it]

Look into your icp sensor and or ipr valve see if they have oil on the plug connector...also u can check for the common wire chaffing on the valve cover

[@robloxplayer-bu1it]

Oh sorry u did say u installed a new icp sensor....tell u what though there's a good chance your ipr siloinoid nut unscrewed and fail in the valley of the engine..so every time u go to stop the silionoid slides not making good contact..hopes that helps

[@JuanCastillo-sb7fp]

Yeaaaa good man awesome

[@ZakryPainter]

I notice a really bad knock when you have it starting with the camera(us) in the front of the dually

[@hrdiesel]

Yes it cleared up with some run time. The injectors were sitting for several years and I suspect they needed cleaned up

[@chuckparson6712]

167,000 miles. That motor is still a baby. Looked like it has oil in the coolant reservoir though

[@JuanCastillo-sb7fp]

7.3 the strong bullet proof

[@5300trilla]

V10 on the fender ? It’s a gasser ?

[@5300trilla]

17:35 never mind lol
