How many miles do you have on your 7.3

Re: How many miles do you have on your 7.3

'97 with 246K

purchased 2yrs ago @210k - stock
since then maintenance i've needed to get done:
new radiator
new fuel lines.
new vacuum pump
right bank glow plug harness
and if i did not convert to 4$4... i would need a new transmission

i know i want to get new fuel injectors... maybe sometime early next year unless of course i'm forced to beforehand

Re: How many miles do you have on your 7.3

Great Thread.

Mines a 2003 with 70,000 on her. She not even broke in yet. I like knowing what's been replaced to get it to the high miles.

I am taking mine in a few weeks for a EGT gauge and bigger Tran cooler.

Great plan. I went with a Ford trans cooler designed for a 6.0L. Quite a bit bigger than a 7.3L trans cooler. Not sure if it would fit in an E-series or not, but might be worth looking into since they're reasonably inexpensive.

Re: How many miles do you have on your 7.3

The shop I am going to is using another cooler, but knew about putting the 6.0 on the 7.3. It is very reasonable priced as well. I believe it is mention on this site as well:

https://www.strictlydiesel.com/p-2727-t ... ooler.aspx

It should help me keep the temp down.

Re: How many miles do you have on your 7.3

'02 with just over 76k on the 7.3, looking forward to piling up the miles. Motor is stock other than an Edge tuner/guage with a mileage tune and custom freer flowing exhaust. Planning on leaving motor alone, will be adding the RIP springs/shocks here soon...

80,000 or so on my 2002. Looking forward to racking up a few more now that we are done having kids (meaning no more pregnancies where my wife suffers miserably from what in medical terms is known as hyper-emesis...).

Re: How many miles do you have on your 7.3

235K on my stock 2000 E-350
I bought the van new back in 2000 and have never had a problem. I had the transmission rebuilt at 220K, change oil every 5000 miles...that's it.
