Hey Bill I have a 2002 Ford F2 50 super duty with the 7.3 power stroke and it has 373,000 miles what would be some good injectors to put back in it if I was to replace them I don't do much howling I do Paul a 14 foot tandem axle trailer with a skid unit pressure washer on it with a 225 gallon tank I just want your opinion on the injectors if you don't mind thank you and love your videos Lucas PS I need some art oil if you could tell me how I could get some I would really appreciate it thank you

I drive a 6.4 daily as a work truck and it started making the same high pitch whine that this 7.3 is making. I had to turn it in to fleet.

love both engines and i love your videos i learn so much thank you for people like you bill

Quite possibly the best video you have ever made.

I can’t beat a 7.3L. I grew up w/ them esp. in school buses and I remember them being used in old U-haul trucks whenever we moved and I just loved that noise SO much!

Great video, I enjoy all the comments complaining about the unfair comparison that you said was a unfair comparison from the get-go. If I could have found a Dodge like that one when I was shopping for a truck I probably would have bought it but luckily I found a 06 Kings Ranch F350 with low miles at a good price for the West Coast and I couldn't be happier.

Your commentary from start to finish made this one of your best videos hahaha!!!!

Got some good laughs out of this one. Keep it up!

I really liked this video for some reason. Good call on the seat-belt too ! And I'm not even a powerstroke owner, I'm rocking a 2003 GMC 2500hd Duramax :D

Great video Bill, never thought i would see you in a dodge. Homie lol

I still love the 7.3! My '95 F-350 crewcab has 547,000 miles on the clock and has never been apart. There have been little things, like oil cooler o-rings and a couple of water pumps. I put injectors in it 280,000 miles ago and it's probably ready for another set, but it still gets 19-20 mpg highway weighing 8,000 pounds with all my tools in it. What a workhorse!

I've got an 89 W250 with 200K on the clock. Use it as a weekend boat puller. I find it to be a gutless wonder. Barely goes freeway speeds and always in the slow lane towing up any grade. Foot to the floor up a moderate grade towing a 22ft center console can't get to 50mph. Smokes a bit at idle and always heavy exhaust smell. Unfortunately a 3-speed A727 trans. Good part is starts first crank every time & great mpg. Wish your shop was closer. I have a lot of respect for your knowledge.

I love how clean that 12v is, new valve covers probably doesn’t leak a drop of oil

Amen on the haulin' hay for summer football conditioning. My coach here in our small town in TN always had us jobs lined up all summer to haul square bales of hay and then throw them up in the barn loft. It works every single muscle of your body. Also, its about 95F and you have to wear long sleeve shirts and pants or the hay will eat you alive. Like you said, football camp was a vacation once we got to August. Good times. Kids now days have no idea. It is our fault, though. We have mechanized all the summer jobs kids had at our age.
