Hey Guys! Just want to introduce myself and say hi ..... I recently joined the 7.3 club. I work at a Ford Dealership in northern Canada and we took a '96 F-250 Supercab Longbox with a 7.3 5-Speed in on trade about a year ago. It had 333,000 km on it, and is rusty as hell, so everybody ignored it, the shop used it for their dump runs, and it wasn't getting any attention... something about it caught my eye and I took it home for a weekend, thinking I would drive it for a few days to see what the problems are with it... well 3 months later, it now has 338,000 km on it and I can't find any problems with it... I love driving this old rig, it gets GREAT mileage, and runs like a dream... we'll see what its like this winter, but so far so good. Not bad for $1500. Just wanted to say hi and keep the good info coming!

 

Welcome aboard and congrats for you new rig, you will enjoy it. Post some pics. This is the best forum ever.

 

Kudos and from a fellow newbie,at 41 years old my smashed bedside no rear bumper ,five shades of red/pink faded glory of a ride I see as a foundation to greater things,my wife doesnt have such a vision,her loss!

 

Welcome aboard! Sounds you got a pretty good deal!
