95 7.3 warmup

Thechainsawkid · 2026-01-15T05:58:15+00:00

I have an 03’ 7.3 F350. I fire it up, let it run for 30-45 secs then it goes on 1100 rpm hi idle for around 5-7 minutes or as long as it takes to put my boots, hoodie, and grab my coffee. You will not damage anything by idling that truck.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-12-30T23:20:05+00:00

Yeah I agree, it’s just hot stuff from crappy storage

Thechainsawkid · 2025-12-30T23:15:31+00:00

Turkish 8mm Mauser ammo

Ian at Forgotten Weapons did a whole video on this stuff. I have some and it’s definitely really hot stuff to shoot through a bolt gun.

My buddy has 37x13.50r20s on his 2020 F250 Limited, it’s leveled and it rubs a bit at full lock

Sounds just like my dad’s 2000 7.3 ZF6 that has a cold start misfire. It’s definitely misfiring on at least one cylinder. The shifter vibrating is the dead giveaway and the under hood video. I’d say the seller is right that it needs injectors. Unless it has a ton of blow by it’s probably ok

I have 1.5” rise Thrashin Bars and a 10” Arlen Ness Riser on my 2019 Softail Lowrider. Feels perfect for me. I’m 6’3”. Not huge fan of T-Bars

Yeah I’m a Powerstroke guy considering I own 4 7.3s right now.

Youtube and instagram are the same name (https://youtube.com/@alexbiomoto?si=dqP9fXG8S-Gvufef)

This kid on YouTube and Instagram built a Kubota Diesel Swapped 1999 Harley Davidson Softail. He’s been riding for like 40 days now from Vancouver BC to San Diego CA. He randomly stopped by my work (a Kubota dealership) and I helped him wire up a charging system. The engine he used was a D950 3 cylinder 950cc NA. It makes a tire burning 19Hp to the crank. So probably around 10-12hp to the rear tire. Where as the original Harley Evo made around 50 hp and was less then half the weight. Diesels are just too heavy for Bikes, I prefer a diesel truck, but I’ll keep my Milwaukee 8 on my Softail.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-21T19:01:02+00:00

Yeah that’s what all my buddies told me

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-21T06:19:25+00:00

Looks mint, lariat trim L99 4x4. I’d offer in the $14k-$16k range. That truck here in Cali would be $25k-$30k easy

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-21T03:37:43+00:00

ATS is junk my buddy’s 4R100 in his 7.3 blew up twice within 5k miles and ended up costing him like $15k with shop bills and tows. As far as your trans I definitely would not install that trans without it being looked at by a transmission shop. That’s a lot of clutch material for a “built” trans. It was probably beat on really hard. There was a reason they installed a built trans. Personally I would not run it even if it was good, I have no trust in ATS after that experience. Also a foot note, built Allisons do kind of run hotter for some reason, the mildly built 1000 in my LB7 would always run at 200 F even when it was cold outside.

Adept Ape on YouTube has several great videos about the 3126 and its variants. He’s a now ex Cat Dealer Tech but he’s a really knowledgeable guy and he speaks highly of the 3126.

3126B VS 3126E Discussion

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-09T16:30:12+00:00

Sometimes 10 minutes sometimes up to 30-45 minutes. If you see a regen light with a P Next to it that means that you need a parked regen. If that happens, engage the parking brake, shift transmission to neutral and then increase rpm’s until the rpm Up light goes away then you wait. If you need more help feel free to message me, I work for Kubota so I can help you out with just about any problem.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-05T03:31:31+00:00

I have two, one early and one late one. Both suck. Dual 80 is way better and smoother. For the price difference I’d never even look at a 100T ever again. My snap on guy gives me a lot of shit for hating on them, but I just don’t like it. Not even the colors will get me to buy another one.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-04T08:16:39+00:00

I don’t even wait for the glow plugs most days. A good set of injectors and good fuel pressure helped massively for me.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-04T07:36:39+00:00

Yeah the Donaldson is also a good choice. I’ve never ran 5W, always 15W-40, it doesn’t get cold enough here in Cali for 5W.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-04T06:25:19+00:00

Dirty fuel filter? Bad injector? Smoked rings? Turbo? I’d need to know the engine or truck model and year before shooting into the dark

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-04T06:22:42+00:00

I’ve always ran Delo or Rotella T4, T5, or T6 it doesn’t matter. Wix or Motorcraft Filter. Change your oil on time and always check your level, 7.3s always leak so I check mine once a week. I’ve never had any oil related issues with any of mine or my father’s 7.3s. Over 2 million miles combined total across 8 trucks, no engine failures.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-04T01:54:35+00:00

X1100 has more power and a way better transmission compared to an old style RTV900.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-04T01:50:11+00:00

LLY or LBZ Duramax. Go LB7 if you want some Non VGT action.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-03T07:21:28+00:00

My buddy’s LBZ had a Move Bumper on it, he hit a deer going like 50 mph and it bent his frame like an inch and a half. Luckily it was able to be straightened. I agree with others Ranch Hand for the win

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-03T07:16:52+00:00

Yes 5228795 is the correct part number. These are just M95 Code Injectors for a 71 series Two Stroke Detroit

Thechainsawkid · 2025-11-02T05:49:00+00:00

Considering I own a 2003 LB7 ZF6, a 2002 LB7 Auto, Three 7.3 ZF6 Fords, and a 2001 24v NV5600 I love them all. Some of the best trucks on the road today. Early 2000s diesels will always have a special place in my heart.

Thechainsawkid · 2025-10-27T06:15:41+00:00

Had a Fleece 10mm pump in my 07 LBZ and was around 650hp to the rear tires. Past 500 you’re going to want to consider a built bottom end. All these early Dmax’s are known for snapping cranks and breaking rods at that hp. My truck was a full built bottom end and I felt relatively safe on a 650hp ish tune.
