You are the only person to really explain the 7.3. Thank you and please keep it up. Arthur/ 1996 F350 powerstroke/ auto trans.

I bought my 96 from this guy about 6000 miles ago, I now have 127000 on it. Had runability issuses immediately after I drove it home from the purchase. Oil seeping through valve cover connectors, so I installed new valve covers gaskets. Installed new CPS due to vehicle randomly dying and running rough. That fix has gotten me all the way to winter, now I’ve been fighting these cold weather starts. I realized my glow plug relay has never clicked on and I changed the EOT sensor today with a new pigtail. My HPOP was a 94.5-95 for some reason in my 96. Went with the newer sensor. Now my glow plug relay turns on!! All these “simple” fixes have been made possible mostly in thanks to your channel! I can’t thank you enough for providing such valuable content.

Loving the 7.3 content.

Awesome video! Love that you put the parts your talking about up so we can see them.

Informative, good visuals and presentation very well done.

Your channel is a wealth of information I wish I’d seen years ago. Thank you sir!

Thanks Brand new to the 7.3. I used to rebuild DT 466 Engines. My truck I just got seems like possible Injector issue but sort of a lifter tick. Avoiding taking off the valve cover just yet. Serviced the engine now and will delete EGR next. Doe's seem to have a lot of Blow buy. Revved up it doesn't seem to have a miss like at Idle. It's a 99 F-450. 114000 on it. Coolant and Oil are looking good. When I pull the valve cover I will also check the rocker arm. I hear they waller out and get sloppy. Thanks again New Subscriber who pushes the Like Button every time.

Thanks for the great info 👍

good advice. i had an intermittant check engine light that responded to light throttle and no throttle. do not have fancy diagnostic tools. i changed engine oil temp sensor on back of hpop resivour and no check engine light. 300,000 miles on motor.....thanks.

Iv got a crank no start an I've started updating all the stuff you say to ,still gotta check the valve cover gaskets yet an the oil temp sensor an gonna swap out the old pedestal to eliminate the common oil leak.

4:38 interesting that my truck has the exact opposite symptoms. runs great on cold starts, runs rough when warm rough idle when warm miss/hesitation at hard pedal high rpm, light pedal low rpm is fine holding high rpm in neutral causes surging and cutouts forscan says my EOT sits at around 190f

Your low pressure oil pump may be allowing the the high pressure pump reservoir to seep back to the crankcase. Check the oil level in the HPOP reservoir before you try to start. Low oil there means no start.

@@justmemrb unfortunately, it hasn’t gotten any better. It’s become my grocery getter and every once in a while do I use it for towing or hauling things around. Gonna get rid of it soon.

I don't recall my 95 7.3L going that high ever when idling. Wonder now if my oil temp sensor may be acting up all these years even though there's no codes or any symptoms of it failing. Also wonder now if that's also why my exhaust back pressure valve when it's really cold out will close up when I put the truck in gear and pull out the driveway with very little pedal in it, but then open right back up once I roll a little more pedal into it. 🤔

Do early 99 trucks have different parameters for when high idle is activated? When I first bought my truck, it never would increase idle speed, regardless of temperature. I installed a TS 6-position tuner and it would idle up normally, but more recently upgraded to a hydra and it no longer goes into high idle.

I changed the IPR valve and the ICP before I realized it was my crankshaft positioning sensor. Don't judge me. Whether I'm getting a little flicker of a check engine light and light flicker like that the whole time I'm driving. But there are no drivability issues. Any ideas? No SES light issues before the repairs. By the way I enjoy your videos. It's already in my favorite alongside diesel tech Ron and diesel powerstrokehelp The IPR valve and the camshaft positioning valve roem the ICP is aftermarket and I did not change the wiring to the ICP

To many variables you need to get the codes pulled from the pcm , Flickering light usually is a bad, loose wire and always remember new parts can be defective

No one around me has the eot sensor near me and delivery a long time but i did see they had the coolant sensor looks the same but can i use that instead its a on 1994 diesel i dont think so though

what would you consider 'high' oil temps?

I swapped out this sensor because my test set was telling me it was bad and had defaulted to -20F. The new sensor reads the same, and the engine is running really rough. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I own a 2002 XLT Super Duty 7.3 with the 4R100 transmission (maybe, I'm the 3rd owner) and went to replace the Automatic Transmission Sensor and found no wires to a sensor and saw no sensor. Now I have a mystery to solve. Possible I was looking right at it but didn't see. Can it be behind the valve body where the 2 solenoids are located? ... Would like to contribute monetarily but have found nowhere at your site to do so. Thank you. Oh, is it possible to have the other oil sensor to the left and up front even though I do no have a manual transmission? Did install the oil sensor on the back of the high pressure oil reservoir and idling much better from cold start now. Transmission shifts better too it seems.

I replaced the EOT sensor because I have been experiencing the miss/hesitation st the 1500 RPM range with light throttle. After replacing it I watched it on the Autoenginuity scan tool and when the oil reaches 150* it starts acting up again. I replaced it after doing a contribution test the tool said it was out of range. Been fighting this "death rattle" for a year and am no closer to fixing it. I quit driving/being towed home a year ago. Any help will be appreciated.

Sure enough, #3 injector circuit was full of resistance. Inside the wire was black. Replaced the wire, and it runs better than I've ever heard it! No more smoke. It has the turbo you recently reviewed installed on it, as well! Hope to have it on the road at the end of summer! Great thanks, from New Hampshire, United States! Subscribed, sir!

Hey Clint your by far the smartest 7.3 mechanic I know of I wish I had more to donate. I have a head scratcher local mechanic cant figure it out or just likes taking my money idk, however hopefully you can help. So I have a 7.3 says its a 99 but in the door its says 06/00 just incase that matters for what I'm about to ask you. This has been happening for awhile now cant say exactly for how long, but when my truck is warmed up and lets say I'm backing up to put on my truck camper I'm constantly going forward and backward trying to get it lined up. However for some reason if I'm ever stopped and turn the wheel it try's to die or even sometimes does die. I can put into park and fires right back up but I feel it shouldn't do this. Just this weekend drove about 2 hours to camp we stopped at camp boss shack to pay and while I was waiting in truck it was fine but soon as I put into drive and tried to turn it tried to stall out, or few weeks back when my brother flew up to visit was waiting at the airport line for him to throw his bags in and soon as i cut the wheel to pull off out of line it stalled but again it did fire right back up. I cant tell if it idols rough cause its a 7.3 and seems normal and the rpms seem fine when sitting at a red light. Also doesn't seem to matter if its reverse or drive. i had a friend who owns a 7.3 say change the oil changed the fuel filter which I'm going to cause its pretty close to that time but i cant imagine that is the cause. I apologize if this is confusing I'm horrible at typing lol
