Ford 7.3 Godzilla Issues...& 250 vs 350

[@entecelectric5645]

Absolutely zero issues on my 2022 7.3 lariat After 8 months and 21,000 km

[@mileshiles1287]

29.00 in Tn my 21 has been great but the Trans is different. I'm going to see if ford has a update for it.

[@anthonybrown618]

Sounds like you have a VECU issue. Get it into the dealership. I work for Paccar, and our T680 and T880 keywords have the same issue with the dead pedal and transmission shifting. The stalling at startup sounds like a throttle positioning sensor.

[@timschmidt3784]

Well, what did the dealer diagnose as the problem with stalling?

[@Sn0Pro7]

Goes in this Friday. I’ve been busy

[@pedarkristiansen6760]

The rollers and the camshaft have issues with delamination might be hardening- might be plating- make sure IF you have issues to have it done within warranty! Best of luck

[@TIREDOFEVIL]

Waited 8 months for mine, 7.3 with the ten spd and yes the tranny likes to skip gears when not under load, so far 0 issues, that state registration fee sucks. My state allows me to put my military disabled plate on her since I am 100% disabled, so it's almost 0 cash a year to keep her going and my plates are permeant..

[@JackL-eg8ze]

I am looking at trading my 2013 Ram Cummins for a new super duty with the 7.3. For the past 10 years my truck has been for the most part trouble free. Only real cost, routine maintenance and expensive diesel fuel. You got me thinking about getting rid of my Ram now!

[@Sn0Pro7]

I loved my 2012 Cummins and never had any serious issues with it. Had 200k, tuned with weight loss and tranny never had any issues. Until….it burned up due to an electrical short. The 7.3 gas is a beast for a gas truck. But it’s no diesel

[@ck3561]

I wonder if the diesel uses a different 10 speed? I have f-350 and almost 1k and it shifts like butter. Half the time I don’t even know it’s shifting.

[@Sn0Pro7]

i recently learned they are slightly different. both 10R140's but the diesel has some different clutch packs etc for the considerably more torque it needs to handles. so yes a slightly different variation

[@ck3561]

@@Sn0Pro7 good to know, love your truck by the way. Mine is same color 22 F-350 crew cab long bed 6.7 FX4 I love the 48 gallon tank. With truck unloaded I’m getting almost 1,100 miles on highway trip. Towing is what it is but that large tank is just enough time to forget about how painful it was to fuel it up haha

Maybe it’s the canister purge valve

My 2022 F250 6.7 10 speed has acted weird....noticed it when I slowed down at a stop sign, and accellerated.....actually acted like it was slipping. weird. my 2017 had a 6 speed.

[@wakeupamerica2024]

Ask your dealer about any TSBs for the cam phaser for your VIN and if not tell them you have the symptoms from the 7.3 cam phaser TSB.

[@adamhowe8499]

My 17 hemi will start and die then start fine , has done it since new. Never fixed.

[@MattSmith-vy3ys]

What was the issue?

[@Sn0Pro7]

They couldn’t find any issues because there were no codes in the computer. Typical dealer response…

[@thealien6900]

But you didn’t pay the large sales tax like many of the other stage two. The government needs to get its money somehow. Some places at sales tax someplace is it property tax someplace it’s all of the above. I live in Mas and shed no tears for your registration cost

[@Sn0Pro7]

yes no sales tax or income tax. but they make up for it in other ways like registrations costs and high property taxes

[@gregorylyon1004]

I find it hard to believe that you got that truck for 61 thousand brand new

[@Sn0Pro7]

Why? Look at my other vids I have the window sticker in it.

[@gregorylyon1004]

@@Sn0Pro7 Well you definitely got a deal then. I have not seen a 1 ton anything in the 60s price range. Not even a gas powered plain Jane. And your truck is a 4 door long box 4 wheel drive. That's a lot of truck for that price. It was a good buy

[@cliffordmontana4562]

@@gregorylyon1004 I get the Ford A-plan, which helps a lot, but lots of the super duties are affordable. I got a 2022 F250 crew cab with 8 foot bed, 7.3 Godzilla with 4.30 gears and 4x4. It’s an XL but it has literally every available option. Has remote start, big screen, nice wheels, upfitter switches, bed step, bed lights, bed liner, mud flaps, wheel well liners, satellite radio, etc. My truck stickered for $57,300 and with A-plan I got it for $49,000 plus tax. In the next year I think some deals will come back on these trucks and you’ll be able to get 3-5k off sticker price. They aren’t all 90k. I don’t care about all those fancy options.

My 350 was $120 registration with the 11500 gvwr. If it was 1720 a year to the state, I would drive a 20 year old vehicle, lol.

We don’t have income tax or sales tax so they have to make the money somehow

[@krisbeaver2901]

The 10 speed is SUPPOSED to skip gears, especially UNLOADED. Loaded in tow mode, you'll hit every gear. When you get used to it, you'll get used to how it helps you brake under load as well. You do need to get the cam phaser checked, that stalling is the common indicator. As for your registration, yeah.. that's painful. It's also not the trucks fault..LoL My 22 F350 CCLB is the same, she's fun to turn..LoL. I know it's hard coming from a RAM/Cummins set up, you sound like a lot of people I've spoken to that have done the jump for one reason or the other. If your going to get it tuned, I'd recommend doing a 5Star.. they seem to have the best tuning set up for the 7.3. Obviously get the cam phaser checked first. Once you get used to the power curve difference, and how the 10speed works, you'll be a diesel convert like most I'd wager. I used to have a 92 RAM Cummins..loved it.. and it was a massive change going to a F150 XLT with the 5.0L high output with a 3spd. This last one was going from a 20 F150 XLT with the 2.7L/10spd to the F350. First week with the F150 I was on the phone with Ford a few times over the transmission skipping gears until finally someone educated me on it. It's an interesting change to say the least. Enjoy!

[@Sn0Pro7]

Thank you for the info

[@gregorylyon1004]

They probably figure that if you can afford a 80 thousand dollar truck, you can afford the extra 1700 dollars for plates every year. And New Hampshire is a very small state that owe billion in unfunded pension funds to pay for retirement workers. Your paying for it dude

My wife's Lexus GX-470 definitely has had a lot of issues, half shafts, radiator, springs and shocks, drive shaft, brakes all around. Toyota reliability isn't all that great!

My brother has always wanted a Lexus 470. He thinks that they are the best SUV ever built. No way. My vote goes for the GMC Denali and the Chevy suburban. Bigger parts always last longer

your wife's GX470 is is 13-20 years old... and 1/3rd of those items are WEAR and TEAR parts. The GX470 and GX460 are some of the most reliable vehicles on the road, actually. Did you buy it new and maintain it all this time or did you buy it used?
