Why no need for o-ringing? With an bigger than stock turbo and more fueling i would think o-rings were in the cards. I've never heard of 7.3's popping head gaskets like the 6.0s do, i just figured while the heads are off, better to o-ring for worst case.

Thanks! Been thinking an intercooler would be a good upgrade as well. Ill look into that turbo/injector combo Little late for that, engine is tore down to the block with the rotating assembly out of it. Hes the 6th owner of the truck and we don't know the history other than it was a plow...

My roommate bought a '96 F250 4x4 June of 2013. Him and I replaced all rear hangers, shackles, both fuel tanks, and shocks and POR15'ed the frame within a month of buying it. He parked it September of 2015 with a leaking fuel system, power steering pump, rotten rad support, cracked rad, rotten...

Awesome! Yup that helps alot. Im going to grab some 3/8" - 16 bolts and try them. The threads in the dampner were pretty dirty and could definitely be chased.

Yes, stock dampner. Should have mentioned that in the original post.

Helping a friend rebuild his OBS 7.3. We tore the engine down yesterday and all that is left is to remove the damper, front cover and then pull the crank out. We bought one of those $15 puller sets from Harbor Freight that comes with 30 different bolts. I tried a few from the set and only...

Update to the thread. Got the lights installed this weekend. Brake light sockets from my 04 worked perfect. I cut the 921 pigtails off the harness i bought off eBay and wired them into my 04 for the reverse lights. I had to pick up light sockets from Advanced Auto for $16 each to then attach...

Found a harness on eBay for $50 shipped, just has the main connection plug to the truck harness cut, thats the one I ordered. I also saw a harness with the plug not cut for $75, I can try to dig the link up if you are interested.

Thanks for the info. I did get the tail lights in the mail on Friday, but I wont be home to install them until this weekend. Also ordered the harness, so I'll rob the Reverse sockets off the harness and install the whole mess.

So i should probably buy that harness for $50 so i have everything i need huh. Includes pigtails for both sides, all lights.

Found one, please ******

I know this has been done, but in my searching I can't find any solid info on how to complete this. I am putting 2008+ tail lights on my 2004. Ive heard longer pigtails are needed to extend the harness the reach the lights, since the reverse lights are on the top now. Are new style lights...

Looking for a Drivers Side Valve Cover for a 2003 6.0. I bought one from an 06 and the breather is mounted externally with no room for the FICM to mount. Also it seems like it is a shallower valve cover because it wouldn't seat right on the top of the head. I am in need of this yesterday, of...

Just started tearing into my 6.0 a few weeks ago. If there is one thing i hate is not having the right tool for the job. So i talked to my Snap-On guy and bought what i think is the list of tools he carries for 6.0s. Heres a list of Tools I have bought so far: - 14mm Semi Deep Socket...

Good info, thanks! I picked up a semi-deep 14mm from the Snap-On guy yesterday. Ill be using that for re-assembly when the engine gets back from the machine shop. Thanks for the input guys
