Been a long time...
Well I havn't been on here in a while, and just recently started using the forum again. Unfortunately my 2001 7.3 started giving me some major problems almost a year ago and I ended up cutting my losses and getting rid of it. It was a great truck and I will always miss it. One of these days, Ill get another one but for now my best option was to downsize.
After dabbling in the Toyota market (Bought a Tundra and hated it), I finally found my way back to my roots and ended up with a 2005 F150 Lariat crew cab 4x4 with only 39000 miles. I got a great deal and am loving it so far.
I was posting in the 2004-2008 F150 forum and ended up scrolling on down the list and saw the 1999-2003 7.3 forum and I had to stop in and say hello. Been a long time since I posted in this section. Hope all of you are doing well.

Well it had 180000 miles on it (not too much for a PSD I know). I had just had the trans rebuilt earlier that year to tune of around 4k. It was time for injectors, the HPOP went out, a new front hub, and brakes all around. At the time, if I had of spent the money to fix the oil pump and replace injectors along with the cost of the trans then I would have ended up spending more money in repairs than the trucks value in less than a year.
It just wasn't logical to keep it any longer. I loved that truck and wish I could have afforded to get something else and just fix the truck as I had time and money, but it was my daily driver and I needed the money to buy another truck.
