This time on Knucklehead Garage it is finally time to start on Project Towverlander our Ford Excursion Build. We start off with doubling the horsepower coming out of our 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel engine. The problem is none of us are professional diesel mechanics and us knuckleheads only have 3 days to pull this off. So here we go! This 2000 Ford Excursion 7.3 Diesel came with a modest 235 Horsepower and we are aiming for over 500. We will get there with a Bigger Turbo and much bigger injectors as well as a plethora of diesel performance goodies to keep this engine bullet proof and reliable as the good Lord intended! But is a fast 7.3 powerstroke even an obtainable goal? Especially a Heavy Ford Excursion 7.3 Diesel equipped behemoth like ours? You will have to stay tuned and find out. Let us know what you think of our 7.3 Excursion build so far in the comments below.

All you need to take the fan off is the large cresent and a hammer. With the belt still on, apply some pressure on the cresent wrench at the point of the pulley slipping on the belt and pound straight down on the end of the wrenches handle....not on the side of the handle.... just straight down on the end. Works every time for me. Pulley wrench becomes obsolete with this method. I tighten the fan back on using the same tools and procedure. Love mod videos on the first Ford Superduty's, OBS and 7.3's, the only diesel i have ran for the past 23 years...great job!! Subscribed.

They are fine if you keep them stock, but once you start to increase the power in them they will start to knock, & go boom ruining your block & your pride. That's why some people like the OBS 7.3s because they don't have the weaker rods, the bottom end is already mostly there. although if you get the 98-2000 7.3s don't have the weaker rods to worry about. The rods might be ok for a little bit, but they won't last long before they go boom once they start to knock, good luck, its time for some rods, & while you're at it might as well just rebuild the motor with all new bearings & rings cuz you have the pistons out to change rods.

But we focused on needed upgrades and known wear items and failure points on the truck, especially things that can leave you on the side of the road or trail. The exhaust manifolds didn't fall into any of those categories. If a manifold starts to leak, it wont put us out of commission, and it can be repaired in the truck, so I chose not to chance snapping any bolts to fix something that wasn't broken. Same goes for the oil pan; gasket wasn't leaking, so I choice not to possibly introduce a leak with an install error.

I have a stock turbo with better internals pushing 32psi plus and stage 1.5 sticks and dusty Holgate tunes and about 4,000 miles after all the work I floated a valve. Its better to do them now while you only have to do valves instead of when its to late and have to do a piston to. I only have 164,000 miles on the truck. Floating a valve is common in the 7.3 when pushing anything more then 25psi of boost. Irate diesel sells a nice after market stiffer spring. It can be done with the heads on the truck too, so just be careful, those stock springs don't like high boost.

@@fatfairlane I’ve never heard of anyone needing heavier valve springs at 40psi and 3000rpm. I’m not saying you didn’t experience an issue, but I don’t think it’s common.

And I'm pissed I have to put new orings on my o oil cooler. 99 7.3. Sorry if this question is answered already cause I paused for to ask you ,aren't you going to chrome plate any of the parts while they are out? I would love to do that to my 7.3 but unless I bought a new truck to put it in,it just aint worth it. Cool video so far and you better be buying steaks every night for your buddies or just shoot a deer. Looks like you guys might need two deer to feed all y'all. I never use that word y'all but just felt the need cause of y'all. Peace from pencil tucky.

I seen that chrome answer coming. I had it coming. But Jamin Seat I can say it was well worth it being the truck is in good shape and imagine if you had labor charges included,then the budget would have been blown. You guys definitely have given me incentive. I do like my 7.3. You guys did a really nice job. Enjoyed the video.

I have a 1993 f350 7.3 idi non turbo. Automatic Rwd. Question: is it possible to install a turbo like that on that engine. Increase power to 500 to 600?

@jaminseat6701 3 года назад
It's hard enough to make 500HP with a 7.3 PSD, doubt it'd be economical to do with an IDI (but I know very little about a 7.3 IDI except it's all mechanical, non-HEUI injectors). 12 Valve Swap?!?!

@@jaminseat6701 what would it take to put that turbo on the 7.3 idi? And what horsepower could I expect with the turbo?
@jaminseat6701
@jaminseat6701 3 года назад
@@martinmartin3368 I really have no idea. Maybe the turbocharged 7.3 IDI components will bolt on. HP potential is going to be limited by how much fuel your injectors will flow and how much timing advance you can run, that’s applicable to every diesel. And I have no idea about that stuff as it relates to a 7.3 IDI.

Best be handy and have a good set of tools. They are robust and reliable, but things are going to need repair and replacement. Oil leaks, door locks, brakes... they’ll all need attention.

I have a 2000 7.3 that starts up quick and then after like 25 sec dies out and won’t start again until I keep cranking it about the 3rd time stays running the weather here is 35 to 40 what could be the problem if anyone knows
@jaminseat6701
@jaminseat6701 3 года назад
You say it starts quickly, but does it run smoothly until it dies? Dies it run smoothly after it restarts, or does it run like it has air in the fuel system? There really isn't much to a 7.3. When it's not running properly, it's general a fuel supply issue. Fuel sending unit feet break off, in tank screens get clogged, on engine fuel filter gets clogged, pumps go bad. Have you every done any maintenance on those items, or have you tried replacing the CPS?

@@bumblebee872010 you definitely need to ensure the fuel supply is good. Low fuel pressure/flow can ruin injectors. Plus,I wouldn’t think a single bad injectors would cause the truck to die. Unless that injectors has severe leakage and is draining your fuel rail after you shut off the engine.
