Lol.. I know. I'm just getting to know this 7.3L and what a rare treasure this is.
I just saw one for sale for $10k with 350k miles on it. And another one with 400k mileson it... so I have faith in these.

bro, I've seen these come into the shop with 650k miles before, i mean over time things break here and there, but this thing was still on the original long block. heads where never taken off, i replaced the injectors and o rings and the high pressure oil pump.. and that was at 600k miles...


this is the best engine ford has ever put in the f series, the predecessor is junk, the 6.0...

Wow! I had no idea 600k was possible on a passenger engine. I know that Semi truck diesel engines go that far and further... but that is quite amazing.

Lol - my 1st car ever was a 1975 International Scout II XLC
and that was anything but bulletproof. But it did have a lot of Dodge parts and they have come a long way since 1975
Thanks for the heads up from a former Ford mechanic.. appreciate it.
I thought much less of Ford before this 7.3l
I have a local offer for $11k so ... sale pending.
