Will it start?! Previous shop says bad engine! 7.3l Powerstroke REVIVAL or BUST!? 

My 1995 sat for 12 years. I put batteries in it and fed it some ether, and it started right up.

Mate - I will absolutely tap that like button - well deserved. Informative in terms of explaining about the HEUI system and how to do the basic's when having a crank-no start. Very happy to see people take care of theese old dinosaurs - not all have the money to drive a new vehicle or a Greta T. approved ride... Blessings from Norway 👌👍

I got a 03 7.3 service truck just hit 225k runs mint 👌

Dead glow plug relay and the shop says the motor is trashed. What a bunch of town clowns.🤣 You can just jumper the two big terminals with a flat blade screwdriver to bypass the relay if you suspect it's bad, which they often are. Not an expensive part. This truck has had a couple of bozos monkeying around with it I can tell, but looks surprisingly stock under the hood.

This is a great video! Keep up the great work it is super interesting and cool learning more about these diesels!

Hotshot Secret Stiction Eliminator additive to the oil will solve a lot of issues.

Well done, Sir. She sounds great.

Awesome job! saving this video for when I find a decent diesel truck with a HEUI system that's a will crank but no start.

167,000 miles. That motor is still a baby. Looked like it has oil in the coolant reservoir though

I try starting a old 7.3idi that sat in a field and when it finally went a huge packrat nest came ahooting out the exhaust.

that RPM needle didn't even budge 9:52 I would've thrown a CPS at it immediatly almost gurantee that CPS is going out... intermittent working is pretty common for a old one or a bad one. and it just will die and not start. and randomy might start working. if the customer brings it back because it randomly dies. or shuts off or won't turn back on throw a CPS in it.

7.3 the strong bullet proof

Yeaaaa good man awesome

Looks like the alternator is junk

V10 on the fender ? It’s a gasser ?

Those old 7.3 power stroke are hard to kill. Good job being her to fire up.

Where ya from

I was curious to see if there was any significant blowby.

CPS, IPR, HPOP, Fuel Filter, Air Filter, Glow Plugs, Injectors. Just replaced all of those and she'll fire up easy. :) Good video though.

great job!

Good grief. Amateur hour

Didn't show what you did

If you bought the truck and cleaned it up a bit with all the fixens, she would be an awesome tow rig for a camper or heavier setup. Nice Pickup

Hi I’m sow happy for you , I just bought a 1999 7.3 slow crank no start , I put new battery’s , still slow start , we check the wires, ground connections , we connected power directly to the starter, still a slow crank , I just ordered a new starter , and yes my glow plug connections looks rusty , i tough they are just for cold season, I can feel how happy you are , man against machine. 😢😢😂🎉
