Thats a 7.3, if it wasn't too abused and the fluids were changed somewhere around factory maintenance schedule that engine should easily go 500k to 750k miles. The guy in the comments was right when he said thats not how you start that truck, you need to turn the key one click until the glow plugs heat things up a bit about 15 seconds and the sgiggly light on the dash shuts off then in gauge the starter. I have a 02 and I have people walk up to me all the time wanting to buy it, they are perhaps the best engine ever put into a pickup.

Same here with my '97 F250 with the 7.3 lol. Its at 220K miles so it should last the rest of my life.

This is a common misconception. it is not necessary to wait on the glow plugs unless it is stupid cold outside. Like in the teens or less. So the vast majority of the time you can just turn the key and start it. People just say things or repeat things like that and assume its true when its not.

Hard cold starting can be glow plugs or a leak in the return lines

first thing you need to check is your valley hpop area for leaks and lines are seals up tight and glow plug connectors are all good under the valve cover are you glow plug harness are notorious for coming un done will leave you stranded in limp mode but it worse than limp its usually dead right there will run rough than die never restarting

If the owner lost the title they should go to the DMV and apply for a duplicate title. Nevermind you sold it. Nice flip.

Oh he did and I had a title when I sold it, no worries there.

Thank God it's a 2003 7.3 and not a 6.0. I had a 2001 7.3 and it was great this coming from a Chevy guy. Glow plug relay was a common failure.

Yeah if it was a 6.0 I probably would’ve passed on it.
