Things are the same all over
A good friend of mine has a 97 f350 7.3 liter and he tells me he hasn't really had any problems with it at all. The "only" problems he's had are: injector pump replacement, main computer replacement, hpop replacement, and cam position sensor. He thinks this is no big deal! Are the 7.3's really any better? Maybe not. He has 150,000 miles on it and tows a 37 ft. fifth wheel constantly. I drove this truck and it feels very slow compared to my 03 6.0. I think maybe the 7.3's are not as "bullet proof" as people like to think. Another friend has a new dodge Cummins and has had a main computer and transmission go out leaving him stranded, out of state, two times within two months. I like my 6.0
