@joediesel I was watching a couple of your videos and noticed one of the vehicles with California plates. Where do you work at? I have a 7.3 that threw a code for an electrical issue with injector 3 and was thinking that it might be a harness connector. Let me know where you're at and i would like to have you take a look...seems like you know powerstrokes
hey man you know ford has little black tab you stick behind the under valve cover connector, i remember when i first trouble shot that, i used a pico scope while scopeing the 2 118v supplys, when the connector comes loose you have a square wave (not modulating) because the low side return cant modulate an open wire, i must have done 30 of those clips in the last 5 years
Back in the early days of these engines, those harnesses would burn sometimes. Saw quite a bit of that in the pre 1999 engines. 1999-2003. AWESOME! Wish we could still get them. I personally owned a 1999 F350 and all I ever did to it was a glow plug solenoid. They were GREAT!!!
Great video and description! You should mention that those connectors also melt and that you can replace the connectors by themselves. The 7.3lit best engine International has ever made!
@srmastertech You're right, it's a great engine. I've got 260K miles on mine. My only gripe is that the designers at Ford didn't seem to consider the mechanic in the equation when they chose to wrap the engine so tightly in truck.
Engineers didn't starting thinking of the technician until the 08 models. It was the technicians input behind the design the change in making the cab easier to remove!
