Our 2003 Ford E350 with 7.3 has over a million miles on it still runs great. We know it is true mileage because we bought it brand new.

Oh Deer you mean it the 7.3 powerstroke was built by ford definitely their most reliable engine ever made the power strokes after this were terrible until the new 6.7. Their middle 2000 truck motors really seemed to struggle from what I know

always ferda 6.0 powerstrokes that have been bulletproofed are as good if not better than the 7.3, way better transmission too and 6.4 are very good motors if you delete the dpf

@Fz-bo7sm 4 жыл бұрын
always ferda the reason 6.4 blow up is because unlike dodge and gm they didn’t add an extra fuel injector iron the down pipe so all the fuel for a dpf regen has to go through the motor causing a huge amount of heat with then melts pistons

Hey Hoovie! I'm a Ford diesel engine master! I have spare parts including glow plugs, under valve cover harnesses and gaskets. Happy to throw them your way! Also I'd just do the glowplugs on the drivers side. No point in pulling off the other valve cover. Just do 2,4,6, and 8. Take off the other side when one of those go bad, the labor doesn't really over lap. Also valve cover leaks are super uncommon. The weird shape of the valley and the drain in the back will run down behind the valve covers, your leak is very likely in the valley of the motor at the intake boots, icp sensor, or HPOP. If you or the wizard need anything don't hesitate to reach out!

Only problem is? That's how you herniate a disc and then he is FUBAR for the rest of his life. The thing is: doesn't matter how much you work out, how strong you are, the discs are softer and lubricate your vertebrae so they don't make contact one another and they have a tendency to crush or squash. Once that happens, they are never the same. In some cases they'll replace it with a teflon one but still. One and done.

I have a 2000 6.8. Love it. Had PCM (computer) problems 5 years ago.... The "Anti-Theft" program was suddenly unpredictable (long story).Took the better part of a year to find out the "Diodes" in the Alternator were bad....causes all kinds of problems with the PCM. Went to Ford and bought a re-manufactured alternator for about $200.00 and problem solved. Later.....some douche bag stole my Cat-converter and jacked up the wires to one of my 02 sensors causing the number 17 fuse (under the hood) to intermittently blow....another 6 mos. to track that down....but for the last 2 years it again runs perfect...if people would just leave it alone!

The owner of an independent shop I use has a 6.0 X as a weekend race car hauler. He describes it as one of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet. Even after dumping massive amounts of time, parts and money at it, it will still leave him stranded at least one or twice a year. With eight bays full of techs. going 50 hours a week, he also has a lot of stories over the last two decades of gas and diesel superduties that literally broke customers financially. Particularly small contractors who struggled to cover the four figure bills for front end, transmission and engine issues. I had a new '03 with 75K on it in two years, when I had to have the rear torn down to flush it out and replace every bearing, after a Chineseum bearing failed and trashed everything. It was shipped from the factory with a front end that looked like it was assembled by drunks with a bucket of scrap hardware they found in a barn. When it was new, the dealer body shop had to pull everything but the hood and fenders, and carefully reinstall the front end so it didn't look like it was in a wreck. It was never damaged, just assembled by monkeys who couldn't give a shit. My shop eventually started advising all fleet customers to dump their 6.0s as soon as they hit 100K, and no longer had the factory motor warranty, since they were too expensive to operate after that. Eventually the Sprinter took the crown away from Ford, when it comes to building the biggest piece of shit of a commercial vehicle available in the states, but the 6.0 sure did some damage.

If you have somewhat of a decent mechanical skill and some tools, you can replace them yourself. As an owner of several 7.3 vehicles (two of them are excursions), you can replace them all in less than two hours. Just do yourself a favor and buy the engine parts straight from International. It is cheaper than Ford, because Ford just reboxes or relabels International/Navistar parts.

I have an 05 F250 Super Duty that is essentially the same truck underneath. I tow my race car trailer in the summer and plow my snow with it in the winter. It still only has 145k on it. It's the best truck I've ever owned. I plan to keep it until either it dies or I do. Do to the height and seating position, I can make a 6 hour trip and jump out refreshed instead of crippled, unlike most "luxury" cars.

If you're not thrilled with the handling, max out the caster. 5 degrees I think. KYB monomax works well on these. Stock they have a very short travel suspension. If your front springs sag you'll be hitting the bump stops frequently. I'm putting new springs in mine. It will be lifted about 4 inches and have more travel. Enjoy the King of Suv's
