Story of the 1997 F 250 powerstroke

[johndeerecollector93]

hey on our farm we got in my opinion 1 one the best trucks ever mad it is a 2005 chevy duramax diesel that my opinion though i love ur videos can u also make a video of that lx series lawnmower

[badmike15]

thinking about buying a 97 powerstroke for my first truck/ first vehical ever and have heard really good things about the 7.3 but want to get one either old or newer body style what should i look for and whta amount of miles and what kind of problems do they tipicly have? thanks mike

[Liftnsetem]

I just bought a 97 f250 HD five speed manual tranny, 7.3 XLT...got it for 7500 only has 100,000 on it...EXtended cab...seems to be a nice truck...I had a dodge cummins before... I really like the old 12 valve cummins engine but the truck seems to fall apart around it...So I got a Ford this time. But Im not a big fan of the indipendent front suspention that my Ford has.

in 2011 fords making their own ford built powerstroke instead of navastars crappy powerstroke

[simpsons4567]

YamahaR62008Raven... Ford has been building diesel engines for a long long time, the 6.7 is NOT, their first diesel

[philamato]

i just got a 96 powerstroke 5 speed, I really love the 7.3, much better then the 6.0. it only has 190,000, I plan on puttin at least another 200,000 on her.

[MegaMoto4]

is ford really getting rid of the powerstroke in 2011?

[wagner59270]

i dunno I hadnt heard that

[tablerape]

i think theyre gonna keep the powerstroke name, but the new engine will be made by Ford, instead of International

[YamahaR62008Raven]

@MegaMoto4 Yes and no... There making there own diesel for the first time ever but it will still be called a powerstroke. Its going to be a 6.7L

[BlueBirdTC2000RE]

@MegaMoto4 kinda......international quit making it for ford...ford is making the new 6.7 power-stroke engine

[TheKillzone69]

@MegaMoto4 yes they are in 2011 ford is makeing there own deasel the powerstroke was bilt bye internathel

[luckycraftsammy]

@TheKillzone69 some1 needs spell check

[KingOfTheClutch]

@MegaMoto4 The 6.7 is still a Powerstroke, they got rid of Navistar engines, and developing/using their own.

Smart choice IMHO, seeing the bad things that were happening after the 7.3 was dropped.

I own a 7.3 IDI and a 7.3 Powerstroke, Amazing motors, 6.0.....not so much, don't know enough about the 6.4 yet to offer an opinion.

[badassouthernboy]

@MegaMoto4 its just fords in house diesel its a powerstroke but rumor mill has it that in the future ford is going to start puting cummins in their trucks..

[Ozrenac1996]

is it for sale

[wagner59270]

nope

[GearHead1625]

wayne do a video of the 01 i really want to see it

[kkurt212]

manual?

[19jsy]

you need a daully now when u get another one

[stratosmuskyhunter]

Sweet video, I have a chance to buy a 97' crewcab powerstroke with 260,000 on it and a new transmission over last summer for 5 grand.... good deal or not? what do you think?

[wagner59270]

I would definitely call that a good deal 260,000 is just broke in for those motors

[fordkillschevy]

how many miles does it have?

[wagner59270]

391000

[fordkillschevy]

nice, those 7.3's r amazing........... just like all fords lol

[dalekrueger]

shame they had to quit building them, and had to build THE NIGHTMARE FROM HELL 6.0

[fordkillschevy]

yeah all my neighbors run 7.3's except the 1 has an 08 6.4

[wagner59270]

yeah too bad about the one with the 6.4L lol

[fordkillschevy]

yeah, but he loves it!?!

[wagner59270]

I know right... damn the epa anyways

[josh198869]

i asked and thanks for the video lol

[wagner59270]

no problem Im really sorry I left you out

[josh198869]

hey its ok i understand stuff happens

[1996FORDF1504X4]

nice truck, do diesel engines last longer because they don't have spark plugs?

[wagner59270]

why diesel engines last longer is a debateable issue... usually I claim that they do because of the more precise fuel injection and lower RPM range which means less carbon build up and less stress on engine components but they are also built with heavier internals which I heard claimed makes them last longer... whatever the reason they sure do last huh

[refriedrindog]

i think diesels last longer than gas because diesel fuel lubercates and gas cleans

[jaydnls15]

it lasts longer because diesel burns and gas explodes so basically it pushes the piston through the whole power stroke vs gas has an explosion that smacks the piston at the top of the power stroke. diesel burning is a lot smoother

[matts6887]

I tell ya, ur powerstroke definitely has to be a testament to Ford quality, especially when it comes to the powerstoke diesels man...shoot, closing in on 400,000 miles is not always a easy feat, even for the most well maintained vehicles, sometimes things just happen....but not in this case....that is one tough truck there Wayne, and glad to see its still going strong for the most part....Cool video man!!! :)

[madmantrucker]

upload faster wayne lol thanks dude

[wagner59270]

yeah Im trying like hell to get videos up dude but now its fricking snowing here and Ive been trying to get field work done so it seem like its just been one thing after another here lately... whatcha gonna do though lol

[videodude4001]

thank you

[wagner59270]

no problem dude... anytime

[bergercw]

even though i dont like fords. if i ever bought one it would have to be a power stroke or a ranger. thats one thing that ford does good is the power stroke and the ranger.

[wagner59270]

youd never go wrong with a powerstroke or ranger Ill tell you that much

[RoadWarrior72]

Three words... Power By Ford... Says it all...

[frankjr142004]
