Frank 7.3 powerstroke start up and run

[inomyguns12345678910]

what are the attenass for and what are they called

[RubiksRacer]

You ruined an American classic

[distantsignal]

thats a badass truck... do you have gauges on the windshield wipers?

[Explorerman88]

@distantsignal Yes I do

[srxtriplerider43]

your whips, whered you run your cables and how? also the DIY intake, notice any power difference and fuel economy difference?

[Explorerman88]

@srxtriplerider43 Ran the cables through the wing windows and under the dash. Intake came with the turbo mounting kit and went on the same time as the turbo, so couldnt really tell a difference.

[greywolf45]

I'm not usually into Fords, but that is one nice truck. you did a damn good job with it. How good is it on fuel?

[HedgehogOutdoors]

You just earned yourself a subscriber! Beautiful truck!

[Needled247420]

Your Powerstroke Just made Love with my ears.

[TheStretch2006]

sounded like music to my ears

[MegaCountryboy92]

how do those tires fit with out rubbing?

[Explorerman88]

@MegaCountryboy92 I trimmed the front bumper so they wouldnt rub.

[peffer76]

FUCKING GOREGOUS!

[b747dude]

What antennas are those?

[Explorerman88]

@b747dude Firestix

[idiforddiesel]

@idiforddiesel 4.10

[erskj123]

[Explorerman88]

@erskj123 I love them.

[XxLonghorns25xX]

Lifted or are those just 35x13.50?

[Explorerman88]

@XxLonghorns25xX No lift... and yes they are 35x13.50

[freddythestandard]

@Explorerman88 hey what color red is that, same year as yours was wondering what color, thanks man. OBS FTW

[freddythestandard]

@Explorerman88 those fit under without rubbing?

[MegaCountryboy92]

[MattFoster10]

twin turbo?

[2003HondaCR125R]

hey man i got a question i got a 1994 Ford f250 and my truck is turning off randomly when driving, we changed the fuel filter and it seemed to fix it for like 2 weeks, but its starting to turn off randomly again. any suggestions or theories????

[jaded16340]

Thanks for the help. I actually just cranked it in short bursts about 5 seperate times, then came in out of the heat, it's 107 degrees right now. Came back out, cranking it for about 15 seconds at a time about 4 or 5 more times but noticed the batteries going down a little. I put the charger on it. went back out about an hour later and cranked it, in 15 second intervals and on the second or third attempt it fired right up, not gradual...gradual and finally catches. it fired right up. Thanks alot

[jaded16340]

Did you change the injectors? If so, did you do anything special to get it to fire that first time? I just put new injectores in. It cranks but no start. I have the drive belt off and was curious if the alternator needed to be spinning to aid it starting. Shouldn't,but I don't know. I saw another video where they cranked the poor thing for about an hour before it fired. I'd like to know if there's a better way. I cycled the key, opened the canister drain to purge any air but no luck

[Explorerman88]

@jaded16340 Normally it will take a while of cranking to purge air from the system and build enough oil pressure to fire ( around 500psi ). What I have found helps out alot, is filling both oil rails with as much oil as you can get in them. Then you should also fill up the resivior on the front of the engine. That should help it fire up a little quicker. I would put the accesory belt back on. I dont think it will help it fire better but without it no water pump, no vaccume pump, and no charging.

[foxtrot1551]

@jaded16340 Im sure your done with your injectors by now lol, but for others reading this, be carefull to not burn up your starter. It takes a lot of cranking after the swap. Crank for 15-20 seconds then give it about 2-3 mins to cool down.

[RyAn13572468]

what turbo do you have in there?

[Explorerman88]

@RyAn13572468 Custom built 86mm from Swamp's.

[ninjakill100]

Should I take my grandpa's 7.3 powerstroke for my first truck or get something else?

[Explorerman88]

@ninjakill100 Yes... always take the 7.3... And grandpa trucks are awesome because the engines are almost always like new.

[BulletTooth32]

@ninjakill100 Fuck yeah take it. I've been stuck driving a shitty civic while i rebuild a bronco

[TheJared966]

Frank! What have you been doin man!? No new vids in awhile wtf!?

[Explorerman88]

@TheJared966 Well... im finnaly out of school so the truck should be up and goin in the next few weeks. Then I will put up some new videos. If you want some up to date info just "Like" Frank 7.3 on Facebook.

[fantana501]

Am I crazy or do you have gauges on your windshield wiper?

[AverageGamezzz]

stupid question but what are those antennas on your mirrors? for cb or something?

[Explorerman88]

@AverageGamezzz Yep, CB.

[AverageGamezzz]

@Explorerman88 how much did those antennas cost? 

[Explorerman88]

@AverageGamezzz $20 lol

[canadiandieselcowboy]

you running any lift in the truck? didnt think 35's fit too well with out some lift.

[Explorerman88]

@canadiandieselcowboy Nope... stock suspension.

[Gillyinthemist09]

I'd stab my mom for it haha

[MudJugger298]

i dont think the gauges come in handy when there on the windshield wiper in rain.....other than that beautiful truck i love these fords

[GotYoochun]

SICK TRUCK! These are definatley the best trucks ever. I'll trade my sister and dog for this beauty XD

[Explorerman88]

[canadiandieselcowboy]

[cummins881996]

[XxKobeBryantxX24]

First Question. How much HP/Torque is in that beast?

Second Question. How much you wanna sell it to me for? :)

[rebelplaymakers]

[dieselcrazy07]

[Explorerman88]

@dieselcrazy07 They came with the truck.

[CrackinVTEC666]

your truck is fucking SEXY!!!!

[MegaMoto4]

are those antennas on the mirrors for the cb. If so where did you get them

[Explorerman88]

@MegaMoto4 Got the dual antenna kit at a semi truck show.

[wickedworb]

Nice truck. I got a 97 f350 7.3 and I love it. But whats the best way to do an custom exhaust. I just have a 4in pipe that exits out the real passenger side, and wanted to do some kind of duals.

[race26]

That is a purdy lookin truck. sounds nice too!

[becker308]

rricken nice rig man how many miles do she have on here

[MrBhuge]

[xmodrock]

[ivanshay10]

That is a badass truck man. Good work nice and clean to i like that. Well mud is good but i like my truck to be cleaned after the mudding. lol. nice truck. 7.3L!

[bwillard81]

u wanna sale it? lol

[Explorerman88]

@bwillard81 Sure..... For the right price.

[bwillard81]

@Explorerman88 what u want for it

[KillSwitchENGAGED166]

@Explorerman88 What would be the right price and I mean without counting all the stuff you threw in it. Kelly blue book it. And Then EBAY :D

[Explorerman88]

@KillSwitchENGAGED166 There is now way you could get any kelly blue book price for this truck. Just look up the cost to build one of these engines to make this kind of horsepower. (The motor is worth more than the rest of the truck) lol

[JSasso123092]

truck is fucking beast I don't give a shit what anyone says

[dieseladdiction26]

i got the same exact truck but i'm wondering what kind of chip or programmer you got and where can i get it

[Motocrozz087]

BEA-UTIFUL

[YourGuardianSoldier]

See if you ever get a ford, make sure it's a 7.3 or your fucked..

[shreddinLIKEaGOON]

if you have the stock rims you should put em on theyre badass...how many miles you got on it?

[alextreme7191]

shit thats a bad ass truck

[TheJared966]

You like the dual exhaust? I cant decide if I want diamond eye 4 inch duals or 5 inch

[DrMcelroy]

@rasnake123456789... '83-'87 they used a 6.9 international, '88-'93 they used a N/A 7.3 international, they put turbos on the 7.3 from late '93-'94, in 1994.5 they started using Powerstroke engines from international that were a completly different engine than the 7.3 idi, 7.3L of displacment is the only thing they had in common. If your gonna give advice, get it right

[cumminsVScompetition]

are those american racing rims, they suit the truck very well

[XXWRD2BIGBRDXX]

how much were the CB antennas, and where did you get em

[ViolentBiscuits]

This is the most beautiful truck I have ever seen. And it sounds perfect.

[telluriderules92]

that is a REALLY nice truck man.

[MrHarrisboi93]

What gauges are those on your hood?

[Explorerman88]

@MrHarrisboi93 Fuel press and oil press.

[FordNeck73]

@Explorerman88 Thats the only thing about that truck that I dont like is gauges on the hood.. Its an awesome truck man!

[Explorerman88]

Its a 1996 and its not lifted.

[becker308]

@Explorerman88 hey just woundering im looking at a 97 powerstroke with 200k is it worth geting or not

[hudsonjamesc]

what year is that rig boss?

[foxracing3750]

is that thing lifted???

[OLDhuey222]

does your fuel filter can evr rot out,,mine has done it twice in 3 months,,might be th offroad diesel

[Explorerman88]

@OLDhuey222 Haha I havent had a fuel filter on this truck in a long time.... I biult my own fuel system.

[Puddelz69]

@OLDhuey222 the 7.3's are actually designed for the offroaddiesel since it's still higher sulfur, ULSD wasnt out till 04, my buds 97. 73 stroker and my 93 6.5 idi turo diesel both run better, cold start better, and put out better numbers when running red dyed higher sulfur diesel

[Puddelz69]

@OLDhuey222 the 7.3's are actually designed for the offroaddiesel since it's still higher sulfur, ULSD wasnt out till 04, my buds 97. 7.3 stroker and my 93 6.5 idi turo diesel both run better, cold start better, and put out better numbers when running red dyed higher sulfur diesel

[kevinxcal1]

I want the exact same truck, just in black.

[fordpower18]

hell yeah ford is the way to go

[rasnake123456789]

Thats a bad ass truck man. I been lookin for one but havent been able to find one around here

[tnewland0415]

its not lifted thats just how the 4wd ton jobs sit that year model

[QcModder]

that is a REAL bad ass truck!!

[russle85]

great looking truck im still trying to find one. i love those trucks

[ShastaMcNasty98498]

nice rig buddy, gotta get me one

[toddobs]

gen3 hpop?

[powerstroke734life58]

nice truck watched all of the videos and loved them.

[DerkaDog]

That's how I want mine to sit, can you please tell me what size lift you got and the dimensions of your wheels and tires? Thanks a lot.

[Explorerman88]

@DerkaDog suspension height is stock... and I'v got 35's on 16 rims tucked up under her.

[DerkaDog]

Thanks a lot. Kick ass truck.

[apblackhawk12]

@Explorerman88 Theres not lift on that??? It really clears 35"s stock?

[Rede36m3]

@Explorerman88 won't 18s rub with 35s on stock? if not i would say throw some 18s under her man then she be sexy as fuck!!!

[Explorerman88]

@Rede36m3 35's rub just a little but all you have to do is cut the bottom corrner off the front bumper and its all good. You can't even tell.

[BigSlate1587]

ur truck is sweet n the best part is that mine looks the same of coarse it aint as bad ass as urs

[leemaster9]

man you got a damn nice looking truck!

[stallard17r]

I like how you ran the cb coax and mounted the antennas on the mirrors

[edward2010diesel]

u want 2 sell it

[Explorerman88]

I guess for the right price anything is for sale.

[billblackhawk51]

This is an awesome truck aboslutly love it. Isn't anything better than a 7.3 powerstroke. How much footpounds of torque is it putting out and how much horse. This is an amazing truck man.

[PatriotsFanX9]

what year is that, 93?

[Explorerman88]

1996

[jjjhedder]

they didnt make powerstrokes in 1993

[PatriotsFanX9]

@jjjhedder sorry, i wasnt thinking, they started making them in 97 right?

[jjjhedder]

mmmm no it was either late 94 or early 95

[rasnake123456789]

@PatriotsFanX9 from 1992 - 1994.5 they had the natural aspired(non-turbo) 7.3 and in 1994.5 they went to the Powerstroke 7.3

[foxracing3750]

nice truck and all...but id personally put a 12 valve in it

[chummer11]

That is a badass truck!!!!!!!! FORD FOR LIFE

[donbomb92]

So. If you add an intercooler to this year powerstroke is it pretty much the same as the 99-03 7.3's? If not, what is the difference?

[Explorerman88]

No not hardly. Turbos are different, injectors are different, Computer and tunes different also.

[donbomb92]

What I'm getting at, is that I want to do a turbo upgrade to my 97' to an aurora 3000 and was wondering how hard that would be to do. ATS now makes an A3000 kit for the 99-03 7.3's.

[Explorerman88]

Well if you buy the kit it shouldnt be too hard but iv never looked into the ats kit.

[CowboyUp1240]

where can i get some of those white antenna lookin things?.........I've always wanted some but dont know what there called or where to get them?

[Explorerman88]

Haha they are CB antennas and every truck stop has them.

[foxracing3750]

wow.....noob

[warmchair]

Sorry but FORD's are JUNK!

[Zaxis450lc]

This is the most beutiful truck I've ever seen!

[mossbergtakedown]

[19881907s]

[rsswga]

[countryboytony20]

What exhaust is that?

[Explorerman88]

Pinnacle Power 4 inch duals with 6 inch silverline tips.

[countryboytony20]

Where did u get that? I have never herd of Pinnacle Power before.

[Explorerman88]

I just found them on the internet lookin for good deals.

[macktruckgirl14]

This truck is Sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sheepboy78652]

I love the way your truck sounds! what kind of exhaust do you have on your truck it sound really good!

[jakethetank99]

Im goint to take an educated guess, and say its just straight piped(like almost all diesels are anyway, don't need no fancy shit), by the size of the tip, 3-4 inch pipe?

[onecylanderracer]

nice intercooler conversion

[johnnydje23]

What size Tires?Nice Truck by the way

[Explorerman88]

35's

[AJSFordMan]

[AJSFordMan]

Thanks

[agasapio]

i just bought a 99´ 7.3 powerstroke with 250,000 miles, it´s quite a lot to me, but the truck sounds ok..... what do you think about the mileage on my truck?

[chevy3434]

Your fine.

Just take care of it.

Ive seen them last over 500,000(I used to work at a Ford dealership)

[iminsane84]

[texasdude302]

[demon6696]

[kelly6580]

[cpdoh]

Nice truck man, What size tires are you running and did u put a lift kit on it. Nice stout stance.

[Explorerman88]

Stock suspension with 35"s on 'er.
