I dig this. I have a early 14 platinum. I currently have a mbrp custom catback and k&n drop in. Hp street tune, hp trans tune and dod deactivation. I daily drive and use it to tow. Thinking the btr2 will be the way to go
A little bit increase in noise but when towing EC temp from 220 to 200 and EO temp from 121 to 195 I'll take that any day and mileage I'm about 1 mph per gallon. Fun video I hope your BP stays low😄
I had this cat back on until last week..sounds great/ with mods cam, long tubes. But I upgraded to a gmmg/madhammer. But this is a good bang for u buck.
In the future cover your license plates as big brother is always watching.. I moved from your state recently and feel I can breathe again with zero emissions testing in my county..
Update 7/27/23 - Replaced with a factory 6.0 fan clutch a while back, instantly gained 2mpg towing and it feels like a total hot rod. To combat the higher coolant temps I installed a tune from ID Speed and it controls for 200° coolant temp. You couldn’t pay me enough to install a 7.3 fan clutch on this truck again.
so your issue is that you got a bad fan clutch. the 6.0 stock fan clutch stops working too when the fan blade catches the wires and rips them off....so its a "pick your poison" deal. personally id rather swap to the mechanical clutch and eliminate wire issues and delete the stupid fan shroud that bolts to the block so i can change the belt without draining some of my coolant
Which mbrp muffler/resonator is this? MBRP offers a few different types- quiet tone- pro series- installer series etc. I tried the link but it says page not found. Good video and the truck sounds great.
Thanks Trent. It was the PLM series that came without any muffler. I’m not sure if they still offer this exhaust system with the downpipe as they seem to have changed some things with the three letter agency going after diesel performance industry so hard.
@@trentcarbino921 I just purchased a Banks 4” (part number 48787) for another 6.0. It’s a bit more expensive, but stainless and CARB legal. It sounds very similar.
My engine routinely hit 235 EOT before the electromechanical fan would finally kick on and bring the EOT down to 200-ish. Then the fan would disengage and the EOT would go right back up. All that heat and temperature flocculation is hell on an engine. I've had two tuners try to fix it, it never worked. Finally the fan cut the wires, and that was it for me. So I bought the viscous coupler clutch and it is so much better. I haven't seen EOTs over 200 in the 1000 miles I've been running it. I also removed the inner fan shroud while I was in there, and modified the outer shroud to fully cover the fan without the inner shroud installed. That way the fan is still covered providing cooling benefits, and I can access the belt and pulleys on the front of the engine much easier. It will be loud at first, but it takes time for it to break-in. And so far I haven't seen any fuel mileage loss, probably because the engine is running better not being so hot all the time. JESUS LOVES YOU!
I’m glad that worked for you. My original 6.0 clutch had problems similar to what you describe. Since making this video I’ve switched back to a new OEM 6.0 fan clutch and tuned with ID. Truck holds temps near/under 200, and I’ve picked up 2mpg towing.
I'll say I don't agree with the aggressive nature of the video of selling the OEM factory clutch, but I ABSOLUTELY agree with the point. I have both an 03 ccsb 7.3, and an 04 ccsb king ranch 6.0. I HATE the 7.3 clutch, it's constantly locked even in temps near zero. Yes, zero degrees f. It eats fuel, reduces power(60+HP to drive at full lock) and is super loud. The 6.0 fan clutch is precision, on when needed, completely free wheels when not, increasing power, fuel efficiency and making less noise. Hell, I wish it was easy to convert the 7.3 to the 6.0 setup. I would do it if it was. Btw, I have all genuine parts on both of my old oil fired trucks, and still agree that the factory 6.0 fan setup with it's problems is still the best option. Don't waste your $ and time. Put the factory shit in it. Ford spent millions and millions refining, making more power, and being more efficient than the old 444 turd. As a Ford diesel tech of almost two decades, I assure this guy in the video has it 100% right. Just a simple fact for those that ain't yee yee mouth breathers.
Thank you for this upload. I think that it sounds incredible! I had a lifter go out even though it's disabled in the tune, so I'm just getting rid of it. I'm doing basically the same thing next month. A BTR blower cam, ls7, dod/afm delete, stock exhaust manifold + y-pipe, but with a Magnaflow bullet muffler currently. Also has a whipple 2.9L running pump e85 (lt4 fuel system). I may upgrade the exhaust later...
@@LeesGarage I'm looking forward to making that video and hoping there is a noticeable performance gain. I'd be surprised to see any significant gain to 0-60/0-90. If nothing else at least something that sounds bad to the bone.
I live in South Florida, 2005 F350 DRW replaced my 6.0 fan clutch with a 7.3. It worked great! Started having issues with the A/C compressor building up too much pressure. Went back with an 6.0 OEM fan clutch, problem solved. Hope this is helpful.
I had the same issues. The 7.3 clutch was great when towing but I lost way too much mpg and my ac didn’t work worth a crap. Went back to the factory clutch and did the blue wire mod. That way when I am towing I can keep it a bit cooler when towing 20,000 lbs up hills.
