TOP 10 Reasons Why You SHOULD Buy A NBS 7.3 Powerstroke In 2021!!!!

[@OzarksWildman]

Well my buddy’s 6.0 is on a flatbed wrecker, a coworkers 6.4 is in the shop and my 7.3 is hooked to my camper fulfilling it’s pleasure rig duties with no trouble at all. 👍

[@iviaverick52]

picked up an '01 F250 7.3l last month with 205k miles. did some maintenance (replaced some leaking seals, coolant and oil change, replaced a few sensors etc) and it runs amazing! already has a 4" level kit on it, straight piped with no emissions systems, got it for only $7600. Never been happier with a vehicle purchase.

I bought a 1997 7.3 OBS, and paid a lot. However, I think it will still outlast a brand new truck. Rides like a charm, plenty of power and opportunity, I honestly just love it. So simple and nice.

I bought my 7.3l 2 years ago with 500k miles and I couldn't be happier with it, no mechanical issues at all I did rebuild e turbo and did a few little things bc i like doing preventive maintenance

[@aspenschroeder6117]

I’ve got an 02 7.3 as well, I’ve put 60k bought at 159k, and the only issues I’ve had are the passenger door pocket thing breaking and the heater core spraying (which to me is typical for Ford). Other than that, she’s been the best vehicle I’ve owned. I can’t say any other vehicle can limp with no lower coolant hose for 30 miles and not need a new motor and a tow truck

[@JTwelder.]

I think a 7.3 would outlast a 6.7 by quite a bit. With all the new technology a 6.7 will be mechanically Witten off while a 7.3 keeps going and is cheap to fix.

You're right about it being roomy. I'm the size of an NFL lineman and I slosh around the interior like a BB in a boxcar. The roominess makes this my go-to vehicle for long trips. The A/C and heater have never failed me.

[@ethanballard4217]

I’m 6’4 280 and the roominess is definitely one of the reasons why I plan on getting one

[@billwarbrick9116]

We’ve had 3 of them and every one has had 650,000 miles on them (Or more) the one we have now is just over 715,000 and it’s pulled big rigs, the first one we had had a minor Downpipe leak. But they also hold their value. The first one we bought we paid $9500 for it and when a f-750 rear ended me the insurance company paid off $12,500. A little known fact is that they have a steel pipe in the door. It saved me and my workers life in a jackknife with a gooseneck on the back. 15,000 lb load and the steel bars on the front punctured the door in three different places. The frame was bent and the truck still made it home (7.5 hours away) we just bulletproofed a 6.0 and it’s a dually (our first dually pick up)

[@jamesb1988]

I bought a 2001 F-250 XLT Crew Cab Short Bed four months ago and I have LOVED every single minute of it. Mpg is awful & turning radius is even worse, and it's STILL by far the best truck I have ever owned. At best I'm a novice weekend mechanic, but I have found the repairs/maintenance on the 7.3 to be surprisingly manageable. HPOP Cover/EBP Sensor Replaced Air Filter Replacement Fuel Filter Replacement Seafoam Injector Cleaner process HPOP side outfitting & o-ring replacement (was leaking oil, stopped leak, shop wanted almost 3gs to do repair) Something I have also found that can help a lot, tighten up the turbo boots!! The bolts that secure the hoses to and from the turbo. This isn't just the 7.3, but more the Superduty of this era in general but something that drives me F**KING BONKERS is the plastic clips they use to plug wires into harnesses. At least AT LEAST 60 percent of the plastic clips will break before they detach properly. It's rage inducing and the clips are EVERYWHERE inside and out.

I own a 2000 F250 as well a non catalyst 7.3. Ive had 7 full size trucks this one takes the cake hands down.

[@stokerboiler]

7.3 (aka Navistar 444E) has the most durable long block on the market. It was designed for a savage duty cycle: either a commercial Class V or a school bus. Start-and-stop. Start-and-stop. All day long. Most commercial users get 800,000 miles out of them with good maintenance. Mine has 355,000 miles. I'm the original owner. I spec'd it out from the factory. I dodged some of the major problems. I use full synthetic oil and change it every two years or 40,000 miles. Lab analysis has never shown a trace of metal in the lube oil. I use non-aqueous coolant (Evans). No cavitation on the front cooling jacket. The engine did fail a water pump at 225,000 miles and I borescoped the jacket. Zero cavitation pitting.

[@juanvaldez6342]

Owned buy and older gentleman for the last 15 years and repainted within the last 5 years and the only thing done is exhaust aftermarket, not even been chipped or tuned. All the work during that time was done at ford dealerships. Finding this video made me feel good about it. I gotta watch your "bad" video but i need a diesel to pull a 7x14 enclosed trailer for my detailing business. Btw, like to see the NC tag.

[@stokerboiler]

I did adjust the nut behind the wheel. My ex called me "Sir Coast-a-lot." This thing easily coasts a mile in flat terrain. It's just a matter of paying attention. Unlike the Cummins, boys I drive the limit. I know a couple of 24-valve guys who claim 30+ MPG but I've never seen them drive over 45 MPH. Here in Indiana people won't shoot you for driving like that, but they might throw a chair at you.

[@alsaku33]

If you get one of these trucks, before you do any go fast or look good mods or tech upgrades, just spend the $ on maintenance and servicing first. Take a couple thousand and just invest it back into the truck on things like, all fluids and filters replaced/flushed, water pump (thermostat and housing too), CPS, ICP, IPR, bellowed up pipes, intake plenums, EBP sensor and tube, passenger side head fuel line, front wheel bearings, sway bar end links and bushings (front and rear), steering box, tie rods, drag link, pitman arm, dip stick oil pan seal, blah blah blah.

Don't know if you solved this yet but the arm rest is an easy fix. At least on the E350 (I think it's the same) the armrest cover folds open in the back and there's a screw with a T45 head. Just tighten it down and it fixes the arm rest good as new.

[@stokerboiler]

In addition to the water pump it did fail an alternator and a serp belt. I've put three camshaft position sensors on it. $90 part. I only use paper filter elements.

On OEM-sized rubber (the best for MPG) the trucks runs down the Interstate (70 MPH) ticking over 1325 RPM and 600 degrees EGT.

Thanks for the great info on the 7.3. What brand of aftermarket headlights are those? I’m looking for a set for my 6.0.

[@JacobOverman]

ACONII or something like that. Cheap junk. Faded after 2 years.

Leaf spring front end is way more reliable. Less parts to wear out

[@jensenleblanc]

they sag so bad, I have a 1 year old leveling kit and they’re already sagging, rides like a brick too lmao.

[@scootertrash647]

@@jensenleblanc really,I don't have that issue. Did a add a leaf with the block that has few small leafs and three years strong. No it don't ride like the coil front ends but I find I have alot less issues. Different strokes for different folks.

[@jensenleblanc]

@@scootertrash647 I think mine is pro comp replacement springs, 3 leafs instead of 2. My ball joints don’t last very long either haha. Only at 97k miles and gone through 3 sets. About to do the axle swap and will use all the highest quality parts and see how long that lasts. I lost my daily driver a while back and need the truck to be easier to whip around in parking lots, angry people are always annoyed that I need more room to turn 🙄. “tHeY dOn’T uNdErStAnD dO tHeY??” haha But hey if you have better luck then me that’s great, I have some property out in the desert but I usually only drive on the street so I guess it’s just the constant turning that stresses all the components. I tow trailers occasionally and they are pretty heavy but nothing over 13k haha

[@scootertrash647]

@@jensenleblanc ya I got a 8ft bed crew cab. I need the ocean to turn around lol. I did the adjustable track bar and drop down pitman arm and haven't had any ball joint issues. But they are known for it. I use Moog and had great luck. Others say different. Alot of little factors that affect the outcome. I've had good luck so I keep it the way it is. Would like a lift but if it ain't broke. Don't fuck with it lol

[@eddysilva678]

Fix the dent on the door. Or you will get me mad. 7.3 looks good sir.
