It'd be so nice if a manufacturer would make a 4 valve head for a 7.3. They'd sell like crazy and would really help them be competitive with newer diesels.
I run my 7.3 off of waste oil distillate I crack and distill fractionally waste oil roughly 680 degrees cost about 6 Cent a gallon and I have an unlimited Supply and can make multiple barrels per day:-)
@@Atomic_Diesel a few people that refined their own oil with heat come on now are you in the USA very very very very very very few people are doing this you got to have some big brass ones you know how scary it is heating up oil to 800 Degrees
Who makes the glow plug delete kit? I have a lot of time/money in my 7.3 build and would like to switch them out for some peace of mind. I plan on using a Glacier Diesel Performace 3.5inch high flow grid heater from a 6.7 cummins for the winter cold starts as an alternative.
(to preface this is an amazing truck,) i don't think ether is bad idea, but maybe you could use a diesel coolant heater to help with start up, but if that's too expensive. a another option is a thermostart intake heater in the spider( like the SD style), but to lessen the impact on flow you can try trimming it or have it be flush with the ID of the spider, or just take it out and plug it after it starts, it does need a fuel source, the gage port should be fine.
Not a bad idea! A coolant heater would have to be placed in the radiator and have a way to circulate since the block is filled, or placed in a coolant port on the heads above the hard block. But some type of intake heater would probably work good.
Had my eyes on a 5 blade but really wanted to try a ball bearing unit. Almost pulled the trigger on a Bullseye NLX but figured that adjustable MAP groove would be a pain to get dialed.
Awesome build. Super stoked to see someone get innovative with this old dinosaur. Is there a way to contact you also who is Randy you keep referring too?
@@Atomic_Diesel Cool. let me know how the electric fans work out for you. I live in Alaska and don't really do any heavy towing and have been considering E fans. Rarely gets over 80F on the Kenai Peninsula. From what I've read, the clutch fan parasites up to 25 hp.
I honestly considered sending mine off to our CNC guy to have the housings made, but a lot of people don’t like the Gen3 system so didn’t want to waste money.
The only reason I shave is because it gets aggravating. I’m growing it again though. Real men don’t shave. It’s been like that sinse the beginning of time. I prefer not to walk around looking like a little boy.
