2001 ex-ambulance 333,000 7.3 , I love it driven from Alabama to Arkansas several times paid $3200 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I agree, I have a 2002 E-350 extended 7.3, and it has been great for hauling and towing. Best mpg I've got is 18, but just purchased a Hydra tuner

What is the most that you can safely tow with it?

[@haganthomas7867]

I also have a 7.3 extended.

@@haganthomas7867 I've towed 9,000 without a weight-dist hitch on the extended (HD hitch and HD 43-1085 springs). With a weight-dist hitch, I think I would do up to 12,000lbs, after towing 9,000. 7.3 PSD & V10 van is rated at 10,000 trailer weight, but for 20,000 combined with 4.10 gears, and 16,000 combined with 3.55 gears. I've towed with both gear ratios, only benefit to 3.55 is you can tow heavy in 3rd 1:1 direct drive gear and still go 70+ mph

Got a 7.3 idi e350 and a turbo 7.3 e350. Both are beasts. Probably outlive me too😀

Do any upgrades? If so which ones? Thanks

[@corsacrew3966]

All of the regular maintenance has been done. And some other major service (low and high pressure oil pumps). Runs great

[@arrahthomas3225]

Do you plan to get a tuner? If so, which one?

[@corsacrew3966]

Thought about one of the 6 position tuners that come with a screen that displays vehicle metrics live. A tow tune and fun power tune would be all we really need though 👍🏽

[@tiresmoke69]

Get a tuner!

[@corsacrew3966]

That’s the plan! We are looking at some now :)

[@mikeherriges7476]

PHP Hydra all the way.
