The 7.3 you are looking at has nothing in common with Dave's issues. I personally hate reviva and have since the 90's nothing but junk. We used to put them in auction trucks and flip them.

Did a Google search on Reviva and came up with a thread from this forum but for the 6.0 Diesel.
It`s from 2014, they are still around, but same crappy rattle can rebuilds. Go down to post#14.

Hmm interesting. I didn't think to look at other models but it makes sense, if they use crappy parts in one model they'd use it in all of them,

So maybe not such a great looking option after all. Maybe there's a reason he's selling it... I know he's already done the HPOP and one of the injector cups which you'd think would be fine with only 50k km. I suppose I can expect more of the same in the future from that truck if we did end up getting it. May just keep looking...
