    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

    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

    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

    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

    Okay, so before anyone starts laughing, us Floridians aren't super experienced with cold weather parts on vehicles. My 2001 7.3 has a block heater, as it was used up north. I have never used one, and wanted to make sure there's nothing to look out for. Being the truck is on original glow plugs...

    Help Needed EBPV Brake DIY Questions

    So I've seen several videos of people wiring their EBPV to a switch, in order to use it as an exhaust brake. Everyone says it's very simple to do, BUT I've yet to see a decent instructional video. So here's a few questions I have: 1. Will this work on 7.3's with an automatic transmission? Every...

    Looking for SCT tuner

    Howdy! I currently have a TS 6 position chip on my 2001 PSD. Performance, ease of use, and economy are outstanding. HOWEVER... it causes all kinds of issues with the wait to start light, and I hate the shift point adjustment. I've heard a lot of great things about SCT tuners. If anyone has one...

    photos '01 Superduty for '96 OBS?

    I have a 2001 F250 4x4 extended cab, 7.3l. 4 inch lift, 35 inch toyos, 4 inch turbo back straight pipe to a 9 inch stack. GTP38r turbo with stage 2 wicked wheel, TS chip, and some other basic mods, but nothing fancy. 230k on engine/trans/body without any rebuilds that I'm aware of. Under a...

    Question A/C Not Working on 2001 F250 PSD

    Sorry to post this on the power/performance thread. Not sure where else to put it. Yesterday, I left my truck running for about 5 minutes while I was doing something in the house. The AC had been working all day, and I had it on Max/Cold. I came back out and noticed it felt warm. Placed my hand...

    Help Needed Propane Injection DIY

    I've heard that some really significant gains in HP, TQ, and MPG can come from doing a LPG Injection setup into the intake. They appear to be very simple. I'm cheap though, and don't want to spend $400 on a setup. Any ideas on how to make one for cheaper? I'm very handy with this sort of thing...

    Question Thoughts on headlights?

    My 2001 F250 7.3 has the original headlights on it, and after 226k miles, it's time for a change. The projection is horrible, and actually a hazard when driving through the forest roads at night. I already have the 07 front grille and bumper on it, so it would make sense to follow that path and...

    Question Can someone PLEASE tell me what this is!?

    Please don't think I'm an idiot. But out of all of the 7.3l Powerstroke engines I've ever seen, I've never seen one with this. Two large rubber hoses appear to be coolant style hoses, and it also has two metal fuel lines connecting to it. Unscrewed the lid and there's definitely a strong smell...
