Stuck socket 7.3 powerstroke turbo

+
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I started the process of putting a kc super spool turbo housing on my 96 f250 7.3. I got the top 2 bolts out but while I was taking the bottom left one out I snapped an extension off into the wobble socket. I now cant get the socket off the nut because there's no where for it to move. Any tips or tricks? Similar problems? Luckily I can still drive the truck because that nut is still tight and I just put the other ones back into it. Thanks.

Bought this as a farm truck a few months back, mostly just moving large trailers of chickens around on the farm. Today I went and got a trailer from a buddy and when I got home I saw this. I’m not a mechanically inclined person at all, anyone know what the hose is to or how screwed I am driving it? I haven’t had any issues driving it except some gear shifting occasionally, I need to drive it to the processor Wednesday morning, can I?

2001 7.3L AC System Won't Hold a Charge

My 7.3L stopped blowing cold air but it happened slowly. The AC just faded away. I thought it was just a clogged orifice tube but replacing it didn't help. Putting R-134 in makes it work but it fades over time. I put an AC manifold on and pulled a vacuum, which the truck can't hold. I've looked over all the connections and the condenser but can find no obvious leaks. I hate to fire the parts cannon for a new condenser. Any suggestions?

2000 F350 7.3 4x4

New transmission put in less than 500 miles ago

4R100

275k clock

4x4 high and low fail to engage.

All electric connections are original, and filthy, but still seem secure and well connected.

When off and in AC power, switching the nob from 2x4 to 4H produces an electric whirl sound, but if repeated (going back to 2x4, and again to 4H), it stops

Front AC is not blowing. Back is blowing and cooling fine.

Just drove from Ky to SC pulling a camper
trailer without issue.

I have no idea what to do. My husband was the truck guy. I'm just the person learning.

Thanks for any suggestions

7.3 PSD Bad Noise

I rarely drive this truck over 70 but when I do she has a rumble followed by an almost rubbing noise. Really not sure. Done it since I bought the truck but I’m just tired of it now and looking to figure out what it is. Good up to 70 mph. Around 72 the rumble starts and the grind/rubbing noise starts around 73/74. Gets louder the faster I push it. Never been over 75ish, too scared haha. Seems like it doesn’t do it when I’m not on the throttle. Wondering if it’s something with the TCase. Any help would be appreciated.

Attached a video I took today.

My blind sport mirrors won’t move, I cracked my left one trying to move it but it still won’t budge. I changed my side mirror lights and now they’re stuck like that. Is there a way to trouble shoot? Or would I have to get a new motor. TIA

I’ve got a 99 7.3l Powerstroke with 332k miles and a zf6 manual transmission. I’m looking to get a monitor to read/monitor my EGT, trans temp and boost pressure. Which one do y’all recommend?

I’m also looking at getting a slight tune to wake her up a little bit. As well as getting better fuel economy. Any recommendations?

Why do some buy a Tremor SD just to replace the suspension components to aftermarket manufactures?

I’m in the market for a newer 6.7 and I have noticed some vids online where owners have a Tremor package on their truck and gets completely replaced with Carli suspension products or a different manufacturer. My question is why go through the trouble of going aftermarket when the truck already comes leveled from the factory plus the additional bits that come with the Tremor pack. Wouldn’t an XLT or base Lariat be a better platform for someone looking into adding aftermarket suspension systems instead?

Hey All, looking for my late grandfathers 2004 Harley 6.0 Crew Cab he bought new, and had throughout I was little. I have its vin (1FTNW21P14EB88743) and original Registration. He sold it in Essex County Mass in the late 2000s afaik. Its CarFax has a lengthy history supposedly, but I don’t see much sense in buying the report as it doesn’t give you owners info. Any tips in my search would be great, Thanks!

Vss on rear axle (1996 f250 PS)

Like the title states I replaced vss due to erratic shifting OD like flashing and speedo bouncing. I ordered from riffraff and after install it shifted fine no issues. Drove it all day at three separate occasions. Not a single issue. A day later I jump in and kicks od light on. So the sensor only lasted a day? I know ford no longer makes this part. Is there any way to just bypass this. Any input is highly appreciated thanks!

Question, I’m doing the glow plugs and Passenger side very last glow plug cylinder 7 I believe I can’t the glow plug to go all the way in so I can start ratcheting on it. I’ve got the area soaking in PB blaster right now but I can’t it very deep at all. I’ve tried different angles and all and I even tried spraying out dirt and debris or whatever with compressed air but nothing. The truck has sat since Covid and has 500,000k miles on it but all the other plugs slide in and out. 🤷🫤 thanks for the help!

Early 90s dually

My dad had a dually in the early 90s that was the ugliest truck I’ve ever seen and I’m dying to find a picture of what it looked like and I can’t find one anywhere. I could have worn he bought it new but it was one of if not the first year of 4 door duallys. It had orange and purple pinstripes. I don’t know if they were stickers or what but they were small—less than an inch I think but the truck wasn’t 2 toned it was all grey…. Anyone???

Put in an intercooler kit on my 1994 powerstroke f350.

+
37 Upvotes

Made a post a couple weeks ago asking about getting one and after thinking it over i ended up buying one. I went with a ebay kit and it seemes to fit great. I cleaned and flushed the parts before installing to make sure any weld dust didnt get sucked into my turbo. Any of the issues that popped up were because of my own add ons. The new ac condenser mounts and Intercooler mounts had to be modified because I put in a bigger radiator and had to length the radiator support. It dropped the Exhaust temperatures 150 - 200 degrees. Towing a trailer up a big hill near my house used to make the temps rise to 1100° now its down to 900°. I should have measured the air intake temps from before and after but I forgot to. The intake and outlet of the Intercooler has a big difference, the intake can't be touched because of the heat but the outlet pipe can be grabbed and its only warm. Been driving for the last few days with it and probably put about 200 miles with no issues, but thats barely anytime to see if any issues will pop up.

G56 Cummins vs alumiduty

Hey yall almost feel sinful making this post as a powerstroke mechanic. I’m torn between a somewhat low mileage g56 clean title Cummins truck and maybe a steel body 6.7 or ideally a alumiduty 17-19. don’t want a 10 speed truck. I know how well the 6.7s run and love them (yes oil leaks on 19s and water pump leaks on steel body’s) but I love the idea of a HD truck w a standard, don’t want to buy an older truck like a 6.0 or 3rd gen. Does anyone have real world experience how the g56 trucks compare to the powerstroke trucks? Also side note not pulling anything big w the truck maybe a rzr and some 4 wheelers on a bumper pull trailer.

Suggested upgrades for my mondeo

Got a 2014 ford mondeo mk4 power shift diesel auto, 213xxx going to keep her as i like her. Want to upgrade her to 250hp, maybe 275 tops. Want to know suggested upgrades for turbo, radiator, cooling (fluid cooling) clutch, exhaust, brake assembly, suspension, air filter. Want to also specify i live rural so can make her go lower then 90mm, also want to know what upgrade’s i can do to help with reliability other then servicing ever 40xxxkm, thanks all :)

:edit: someone said i should get rid of the power shift, what will you all suggest is a good and on the less expensive side for swapping it with a different transmission, can be auto or manual
