How to set up Torque Pro and ForScan using a cheap Bluetooth OBD2 reader on your 7.3 and 6.0 Ford Powerstroke Diesel Trucks. I've had so many questions about how to get data from the 7.3 and 6.0 Ford Powerstroke Diesel engines I decided to make a video covering the basics, plus how to get those nifty dashboard views on your phone or tablet.

My uncle bought his 7.3 brand new in 2002. He’s had it ever since and it’s been babied and very well taken care of. He is selling it to upgrade to a fancy new one and I couldn’t be happier that he said he’d make sure I get to buy it off him. This thing is pristine! Only 75k miles, lariat trim, crew cab, and already leveled with 35’s! It’ll be mine here in a couple months and I am so stoked!

@ProjectTimeGarage Год назад

Man, that's a great deal right there. I can only hope your uncle's new one lasts as long as that old 7.3

Awesome! Another person in the club!! Glad to have ya. You say it had a leveling kit.. I also did one but it sent the front of the truck higher than the back(opposite rake). Anyways, didn’t like it, called SD springs and they sent me the heaviest dutiest springs I could get. Now the truck looks great and hawls even better. Just thought I’d share

This is a great introduction, I'm also a tech guy by trade and just popped my diesel cherry with a high miles '02 F-250 7.3. It runs great so luckily I don't have to diagnose anything engine/drivetrain right now, but I'm sure in the future I'll need to and these tools will be indispensable. In the mean time I can set up cool gauges on the Android head unit I'm putting in!

Great video. I would add that OBD2 extension cables are available so your scanner isn't hanging down into the foot well. After kicking my scanners a few times I got a 90 degree cable that I ran behind stuff to the glove box where my scanner dongle is out of the way but easy to get to. Different lengths and orientations cables can be had inexpensively...

@TheGhungFu Год назад

@@ProjectTimeGarage Be sure to check the orientation of your OBD2 port. Some are backwards to others. You can get cables that go left or right, depending on your port (look at pictures, all that). They'll still work but you'll have to loop the cable 180 degrees.

Did you use the APK or from the store?

Unfortunately the scanner is no longer available and I can't seem to find another one that works.

Android issue. Been there.

Looks like they no longer offer it on Amazon or their website.

Yeah, I've been trying to find a suitable replacement - nothing yet.

What about sending information if it doesn't run

You will still get info with the key on and engine off

What I don't see and can't find is oil pressure. Got oil temp, and HPOP-- Torque lite

@ProjectTimeGarage 9 месяцев назад

Yep, Oil Pressure and Engine Coolant Temp are not reported to the ECU. The temp sender and oil pressure sending units go directly to the gauges on the dash. The truck uses oil temp to gauge how warm/cold it is. Also, there's no compelling reason to worry about oil pressure in a HEUI injection system. If the low pressure pump fails, it will stop sending oil to the HPOP and the truck will die immediately. Basically, no oil pressure, no start/run.

Tourque Bluetooth setup can be very Easy, FORSCAN on Windows, NOT so much.

@ProjectTimeGarage Год назад

Yeah, the licensing deal is a bit crazy for their PC platform.

@@ProjectTimeGarage OBDLink MX+ OBD2 It’s $139.95 on Amazon. Worked great with Forscan lite on my iPhone 14. (ICP, IPR ETC.) Used it to diag my bad IPR I Bought a cheap $20 one on Amazon and could only check codes, monitors and clear CEL, couldn’t see live data though

@@ProjectTimeGarageThought I replied already..guess I spaced. On the Forscan website on their list of recommended OBD2 Bluetooth connectors there’s one called “OBDLink MX+” it’s expensive ($139.95 on Amazon) It worked good for me on iPhone with Forscan lite diagnosing my IPR issue. Can’t say forsure if it works with torque pro or android as I don’t have either. Hope it helps, also curious how much those discontinued OBD Bluetooth connectors cost. $139 is a lot of money but still cheaper than buying snap on scanner or the Ford scanner RiffRaff diesel sells.
