Talking Hi All!

New member here because I just bought a 1995 Ford E-350 Cutaway style truck with a 7.3L V8 Powerstroke!

I want to love this engine dearly and do good by it. All my posts will be about the proper maintenance and care for my engine. I want to learn everything I can and keep this baby running for as long as possible. It's currently at 370,000km, and I want to try to see 1,000,000

I don't know the first thing about engines, but I love to learn and I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty.

Thanks everyone!

Good to know that you also on learning about that engine.
Did you look for some upgrades or tune ups?
I am thinking about to make the hole in the airfilter cover bigger. So that the engine can breath more. But I am not sure if it will be a good idea. Don’t wanne get problems with the fuel pump.

Do you have books for repairing the engine? I guess repair manuals is the right description ☺️
Sorry for my English 😁

Hi Nick, welcome here. The best Synthetic motor oils. Be careful about aftermarket Add Ons.
You can make great choices with your drive train, & a good tune may work well with the exhaust?
