    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    Being so far from me, I'm not familiar with any mechanics down there. I've had a couple 5.4s and none of them were as clean or quiet as this one, so I'm hoping that's a good sign Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    The 5.4 3v motors are known for cam phasers going bad, causing timing chain failures, as well as warping exhaust manifolds. Aside from that, the motors are solid, and upon initial inspection, I noticed nothing mechanically wrong with it. No noises whatsoever Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    Just so that I don't have to start another thread regarding a potential trade, I'd like to hear yalls opinion on this latest offer. I drove an hour today to go look at a 2006 F-150 Supercrew 139" WB King Ranch 4x4. The truck has factory suspension, wheels, tires, exhaust, and even radio. Might...

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    Hopefully by the time I'm ready for my next upgrade, I'll have a stable enough job to purchase and build a 6.7 Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    Going tomorrow to look at a 2006 F150 4x4 King Ranch. I love my diesel and the truck really does turn a lot of heads. But it doesn't make much sense for a student attending college in a populated city. I'll still be towing often but not much in excess of 6k pounds so the half ton should be more...

    4r100 rebuild myself?

    I appreciate the response. Didn't realize there's so much involved. I was quoted 1700 to rebuild it with a 1 year unlimited mileage warranty. Is that fair? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    4r100 rebuild myself?

    As many of you know, my 2001 7.3 F250 4x4 transmission is on its last leg. It stalled in reverse the other night (I would assume either TC clutch or low line pressure), and just last night started the fast switching between 3rd and 4th back and forth upon acceleration. I've been quoted 2500 to...

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    Well I want to thank everyone for the input. I went to look at the OBS last night and fell in love. It sounded nice, the interior was immaculate, it rode amazing and was all around a very nice truck. HOWEVER, the owner described the tires as being new, when in all reality there was maybe 5k left...

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    There's definitely things I'd love to do to the OBS to make it an eye catcher, but mechanically it is sound, and there's very few things I'd need to fix immediately. I also forgot to add, my truck has been burning a lot of oil which also scares me. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    Thank you for the response. The bed has rust, but so do the doors, and they aren't easily repairable. I don't see it costing less than $2000 minimum to repair the rust and change the bed rails. I've started saving for a transmission also, but from what I hear, I'm better to buy an ATS, BDS, or...

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    I've posted on here before about considering trading my 2001 F250 XLT 7.3l 4x4 for an OBS truck. I'm not stuck on an OBS, just figuring I'd see what trade options I have. I've done just about everything to my truck. All suspension parts are new, starter, alternator, radiator, etc etc, as well as...

    Help Needed Belt Dressing Issues

    Maybe we're discussing two different products? The belt dressing I used is specifically for serpentine belts, manufactured by Prestone, and highly recommended by the auto parts store employees. Anyway, I purchased a new tensioner, idler pulley, and serp belt and will be changing it this weekend...

    Help Needed Belt Dressing Issues

    So last night I did a foil delete/polish on my intercooler pipe. Put everything back on and did a cold start of the truck with the hood open, and that's when I noticed a very loud clacking noise coming from somewhere in the serpentine belt assembly. I hear this every day upon startup, but...

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    Forgive my lack of experience with this area of mechanics, but how do I shape the hoses into the correct shape? They're about 3 feet long, with numerous complex turns before attaching to the firewall Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    I agree 100%. The problem is, NAPA has no clue what I'm talking about. That's why I'm trying to make sure I'm correct in saying "fuel heater." Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    I hope this pic helps. It's definitely not something common around here. I haven't ever seen another 7.3 with one. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Question Fuel Heater Coolant Hose Replacement

    Mounted in the center, upper part of my engine compartment there's what I believe to be a fuel heater. It is silver in color with a removable lid to access the bowl inside, and it is mounted on a pedestal. There's two rubber hoses (appear to be 1") that go from it to the firewall, which I...

    Help Needed How to use the block heater

    I'm considering 20-30 cold, only because I'm on stock glow plugs and injectors. I'm sure a newer truck or engine with newer plugs and injectors wouldn't have a hard time without a block heater Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
