Hum good to know, I replaced my original 3 hole unit, that was actually on the truck when it was purchased in 2001. But I'll keep the 9051 in mind for the next time I need one. Hopefully that won't be for another 20 years. I did look them up on eBay and they start at $292.81 plus tax. My 3 hole unit on eBay goes for around $109.99 plus tax, but they don't have the torque the new 2 hole $69.50 high torque units or the 9051 have. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

Not to mention changing and upgrading battery cables! My truck had a super slow crank. Fixed all my connections, replaced every cable that had any corrosion. Upgraded the cable between the two batteries. Added some more grounds and a main cable from the alternator to the battery. The crank speed of the truck has increased dramatically.

I did literally every exact thing you did when I got my '01 last year. It runs so damn smooth now, I love it! One thing I learned the hard way, BUY GENUINE MOTORCRAFT SENSORS! I started off with a chinese knockoff for the ICP sensor and it idled horribly! dropped the cash for a motorcraft sensor and it made a world of difference. If you haven't already, next best thing you can do is install a Mishimoto or 6.0l transmission cooler. I'd never tow with the stock cooler.

ICP indications are low MPG and rough acceleration. When the ICP goes bad the ECM uses a default setting and that uses more fuel. I've heard that is some instances it can cause a no start. If you have a no start just pull the plug and see if the engine starts. Then put it back on and if it doesn't start then you know it's bad. Check the ICP connections too, if they are sloppy and the insulation won't hold onto the wires then buy the pigtail kit and use Environmentally sealed splices and replace the connector. I wholly agree with using the original FORD CPS. All CPS's fail at one time or another, so keep a new spare behind the seat along with the 10mm socket, 3" extension and small breaker bar to change it should it fail. The CPS is also a dealer recall, I took mine in and they changed it for free. As far as the Injector noise I get the Cackling on my 01 as well. I've been told some AMSOIL will help fix that. I'll have to check out that FRx mod I could use a little more on the bottom end when I accelerate, especially when it's cold. Thanks for a really nice video on some mods I've been considering. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

6:40 nice burp, never missed a beat...

I just bought a 02 F250 . I am enjoying it!!

nice 7.3!!! we picked up a 2000 in sep love it

The idle and surging issue was resolved with the change of the ICP. None of the other changes resolved that issue. The cross over just equalizes the oil pressure between both heads and the fuel system mod from riffraff is to solve the fuel dead heading. It's basically a cheap regulated return. In my experience the CPS either works or it doesn't. When it dies it doesn't give you a warning before it dies. I bought my 99 f-350 SRW brand new and I've gone through my fare share CPS and only once did the CPS shutdown my truck but would restart and keep running. Everyother time it just stopped and won't restart.

Good comment. I was wondering what that idle surging sound was. Concerning cam sensors I bought a 7.3 a couple of years ago and didn’t know which one I had in there. Dang Borg Warner sensor, makes your truck shut off randomly at idle while using windshield wipers. Bizarre stuff

Just need to upgrade the headlights now. Good job on what’s been done already.

I have that air filter and a oiled type from Rifraf. I drilled a hole in my adaptor pipe and installed the factory vaccuum gauge. The paper filter brand new will restrict flow enough to move the gauge about 1/8 or so towards the dirty mark. the oiled firter has better flow. I see no increase in milage. 200/30 injectors.

For anyone wondering about that particular noise. I was told by a Ford Mechanic at a dealership that injector #8 is different than all the rest. This injector is a little shorter/longer (cant remember exactly) than the rest. Placing the incorrect injector in this spot will not affect performance or the longevity of any components. Ford merely made this change to eliminate the cackle since they knew it would bother some people.

Vent your hood if you tow heavy, it makes a world of difference. That and water methanol injection made the biggest difference. If you do not tow heavy, skip both honestly. I tow a 42 foot fifth wheel through the mountains of CO. Mishimoto oversized aluminum radiator is a huge help as well. I did the oversized Mishimoto intercooler as well as the Mishimoto 6.0L transmission cooler.

I carry a new icp IpR and a a cps sensor and tools also I recommend the riffraff water pump they are built really well

Good info..I may do these mods to my 01 350 LB Crew 4x4 in about 100,000 miles..she is running great with all factory parts @ 73,000 actual miles..Former Alabama State fleet unit..I practically stole this from a guy who bought at auction.

Get a tuner. I have a SCT tuner and like how simple it is. A high volume HPOP makes a big difference also.

Strange, I have 320k on my 7.3 and it still runs like new!

What is that white pvc adapter looking thing on the intake tube right after the filter?

Try out the aih delete and add a boost gauge riffraff sells the aih delete bolt

You want a nice mod add the riff raff fuel feed lines with no check ball in the end and make sure you change the inside banjo bolts to the mow open flow

I bought a napa filter similar to the one you have, however, I am unsure what to do with the sensor inside the stock airbox which measures the temperature? Can you advise? Also did you use the stock intake hose with an adapter? If so which one? Thanks

You prob figured it out by now. I just zip tied the sensor behind the filter. Letting it be open to the air around it. For an adaptor I used a piece of exhaust pipe. I believe 4inch.

What size are your wheels and tires and do you have a lift on it

What size lift kit you got on it.

Looks like my old 7.3 mine was a 02 with the afe blade runner intake, TS performance chip, cold air intake and 5" exhaust. It wasn't the fastest truck but it's had enough power and reliability I needed. It only had 135k on it when I let it go. To this day I still regret getting rid of it.

Do the exhaust back pressure sensor along with the tube that connects it to the passenger manifold and even the bracket the sensor sits in, it gets clogged with soot and affect your mileage

You want more pressure to the injectors I believe. Some people even buy larger pumps to get more pressure

Check your icr valve too because mine was rotted and it made the motor not run at all when it went out its right below your icp deep down.

It's ok as long as you don't constantly use it only when you must. They are very hard on your turbo and can ruin one quickly. Only know this is because I put exhaust brakes on three of my fleet trucks (all 7.3 powerstrokes superduty) and my guys ruined the turbos because they enjoyed not using the brake pedal so much and ended up burning up every single turbo. All of my trucks are DOT Certified and have their yearly inspections along with regular maintenance and those pacbrakes (A.K.A. exhaust brake) are great for heavy loads on a grade but should not be used constantly because it will cost you big time if you're not careful its only a matter of time (not if just when)

What size is lift, wheels and tires

I know the post is 3 years old surging usually comes from turbo they are known for it. You just have to change compressor wheel on turbo

Definetly recommend a fuel and oil treatment to clean the injectors especially with the higher mileage, and may help quiet that crackle you've got. Most of the noise you talk about is either from stiction and/or the rod bearings when they get worn in they tend to make a bit more noise.
