how long does the 7.3L last?
#61
I have a 01 f250 7.3 with 407K on it. still runs strong but it was a fleet truck and well maintained. I will be replacing the injector o-rings for good measure when i replace the glow plugs. I have more issues with body (chicago roads and winters) then the engine. That being said if anyone has front doors or tail-gate for 99-16 f250 let me know lol

How long does a 7.3 last
i know the 7.3 is a better engine than the 6.0 and what not, but how many miles can the 7.3 powerstroke typically be ran to before it needs to be rebuilt? im looking around for a new truck possibly and im torn between a cummins and a powerstroke (i like the looks of the fords and the reliability of the cummins). i found a 7.3 w/ 260,000 miles on it. is that too many?
my truck is a 1999 model 6 speed manual and apart from a clutch a alternator and replacing a few fuses just so they are fresh and working like they should my truck has gone 763419 miles on odometer as of today. Started it up and it purrrrrs like a top. It does not like a really cold start I need to change the glow plugs some time but basic maintenance oil changes tires and bam this motor still has equal compression on all cylinders and everything. I have upgraded to the T4 turbo from turbonotics and i make 40 psi of boost max when I need it normal every day driving 10 psi ish. And k have not had any issues like i said ....... if you take care of your truck and do basic maintenance and hanger things out every so often and keep it fresh bam your good to go. I am going for a million plus miles on my rig and I am never getting rid of it

Maybe my conspiracy theory is too strong, but the Turbonetics T4 kit coincidence in regard to time of posting was a bit on the weird side for me personally.

Very possible, if it were maintained right. I should know look at sig, but there has been many, many repairs over the years on the truck when it was on the fleet very few on the engine though. I still have the stock tranny minus a triple disc TC and front and rear seals. Engine gave out at 820k
3 sets of injectors, 2 sets while on the fleet and the other when I went to stage one's.
engine was removed at 400k to reseal it, including new oil cooler. And many, many, many records of services done to it dating back all the way back 94.
But injectors lasting that long thats preposterous i dont buy it.

Ahhh, I get it. New guy, preposterous claim, and boasting the turbo....yup. And 40 PSI obviously requires mods that he didn't disclose so that ads to substantiate your suspicion. I gotta say, you're one fart smeller!

apart from a blow off valve that is electronic that is it so turn a **** and it makes it be able to build more boost or less boost that is the only mod and a aftermarket k&N air filter that fits in my factory air box a new alternator had one go out from auto zone and a new AC hose that goes from the dryer to compressor, fuses and the turbo up grade, that is it. I still have the factory Garrett turbo and all i did to it was the wicked wheel up grade. So other than that that is about it and all i have done.
