This was funny.

So i put injectors in a 99 7.3.told owner months ago that the motor was junk.intercooler and pipes were full of dirt.i mean caked about an inch deep in the bottoms of the pipes.previous owners didnt think the clips on the airbox were important.

If you start it with the aircleaner boots off and put you finger over the cdr tube,within 10 seconds itll start running funky.lift your finger off the tube a little it sounds like you popped an air hose.

Dont have a compression tester for them anymore.i have video of it if i can figure out how to post it later.

It got to the point where it would not start at all unless plugged in all night.ether wouldnt get it to start.he still doesnt want to believe it needs a motor

Sounds exactly like my x bosses 550.
I find its easiest to upload to youtube, then link it.

Ill have to go figure out youtube.

I know its too much.it was funny.me and my buddy were laughin our ***** off.i think it puts out more than the turbo.im gonna have to rev it up tomorrow just to see what it does.

Poor ******* just payed me 1000.00 to put a motor in his other truck plus about another 700 to do the 550 rear swap.

I couldn't tell in the video how much blowby it was putting out without you closing the system and letting the pressure build. How does it do if you put everything back together and take the oil cap off and set it upside down on fill port? Does it shoot off?

With 94-97s it was fords fault they sucked in dirt through the badly designed air filter a cheesey thin orange boot.

They fixed the boot in 99 but went with a poorly designed air filter again.
