Hi people,
I have a 00 7.3 with 116000 and I think that it is just broken in. Just like to know who has some serious miles on there truck without a rebuild ?

 

Hello
I've got a 2000 f350 165432 miles,but I'm carring tool boxes and a lumber rack. The engine is great,but the bad news is I just had
to replace the transmission.the dealer service told me the weak link in these trucks was the trannie.Anyway I,m up and runnin with a lighter wallet

 

I have a 2001 7.3 with 118,000.

 

Yes, the tranny is the weak link, I try and go easy on mine when I am trailering with a big load .

 

I have 00 EX with 179,850 on it. All stock except K&N filter kit. Trans is still pulling strong, have flushed it every 36,000. Best truck I have ever had.

 

i have a 2000 7.3 with about 145,000 on it now

 

99.5 with 265,xxx miles, and STILL on the factory stock tranny. see sig for mods. see gallery for pics.

 

I don't think any of ya'll would make it to the top 50 around here. I'm pushing 247 and know several folks who have me beat. There's some guys over 500, and I saw a van a while back that crossed 1,000,000

 

Early 99 SC 4X4 with 212,000 first tranny, pulled a lot.

There are a lot of differend opinions about the stock tranny, fact is that tuners and lead foots don't help the manner.
Thats wy there are nice after market options avalable.

 

I started not to post my mileage but changed my mind...my Late '99 F350 CC Dually has just 77k original 2 owner miles!!
BTW did we ever figure out if that VAN was a 7.3 or a gasser??

 

I have 131K on my 00 and dad has 170K on his 97. I have seen a 99.5 F-350 dually with 350K.

 

I'm right at 195,000, with 40,000 on a rebuilt tranny

 

I have a 99 F350 Crew cab with 371000k on it, I put a tranny in it last fall ....today i noticed that i have a brake line leaking, pretty sure the line is original...I can tell all of you at least on thing bout a stroker....I wouldn't trade it 4 nutin

 

I think I am a candidate for the least amount of miles with only 47K.

I bought my truck last week and imagine the previous owner used it locally maybe to trailer his boat or something. Even the driver's seat is barely broken in. It was like opening a 6 year old time capsule...

Give me a few years and I will catch up to some of you. I drive at least 45K per year.

I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help prolong the transmission. Those that have gone through one already, have you changed the fluids regularly? Haul anything heavy? Chipped?

Is there a synthetic ATF that might work better?

 

Prolong the tranny, sure- KEEP YOUR FOOT OUT OF IT!!

But there are mods you can do. Do a search for the transgo, BTS valve body, and of course the weak link is the cheesy torque converter, you can replace it w/ a nice triple disc like I did.
