On Average, how many miles will a 7.3L provide reliable service?

Im trying to calculate what % "Used up" a 7.3 will be based on mileage to help figure out what to offer when purchasing.

 

About 150k is when I needed an injector and shortly thereafter the trans was toasted. Luckily I found this site so I got a BTS trans.

 

I don't think there is a way to determin by mileage. If it breaks, fix it and keep going. I have 115,000 with no problems besides the normal things. Tires, small leaks that are easy to fix. Huumm.

 

just wanted to add my 2 cents if you dont mind but my old farm truck with 7.3L IDI has 500,000 and all i have do is one injector pump and 2 sets of injectors.

 

Mine has 307,000 KM on it, and done nothing but a water pump and alternator. Original automatic too.

 

I have 135000 miles, and I can't answer your poll because I haven't had any major problems yet.

 

170,000 no major problems.

 

looks like majority thinks up to 300 and past

 

Haven't even hit 100k yet and some big ticket items already.

 

I'm at 75k on my '02. Batts & alternator are all I've had to replace that were bad. Other than that, oil, fuel filter, and MODS!!

EDIT: I had to replace the O-rings on the fuel lines going to the filter bowl. When I installed the CCK, they were pretty ugly. To the point that the return line was leaking after the job. No problems since.

bought a used 02 350 with 266,000. one owner, clean carfax and oasis had nothing. i'm guessing not only its all original...but nothing has been fixed yet and this truck runs like deere! couldn't be happier!

 

I have 136000 km's about 83k miles. Nothing big has come up yet , but i've had to replace the cps 4 times. And everytime I tow the OD light flashes. So im planning on getting a bts tranny soon. But other than that, i've had no problems at all.

 

Currently have 155k w/o major problems. 3 alternators, cps.

 

mudmaker, what the hell is this acronym cps? i've seen it numerous times now..and you're from hardin huh? i was there a long time ago. one of the small eateries there that caters to the fly fisherman coming in off the big horn river? my buddy charles hilton has family that live there...

 

130K batteries, waterpump, CPS, front wheel bearing, fuel filter orings.
