I always hate to hear bout someone's truck going down. We do enjoy putting our foot into them though and the 7.3's take the punishment pretty good.

Dang, lasted over half a million. Hope it is something simple but I would consider a serious rebuild at this point no matter what.

I was just thinking about you today while driving to Nashville what with all your mileage while I wondered/imagined I was hearing or feeling something different with my truck. All these 7.3s letting go lately has gotten me paranoid. Then I thought, Kennedy has a ton of miles on his so I am good.

Oh well, sorry to hear about it. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about this, but with over 500,000, she had a good run.

Kennedy, sorry I missed your OP, but I'm glad that it wasn't serious.
.
Are you going back in, then, because of the sound? At this point, I would pull all the rest of them just to be safe and examine them closely.

Wow, I have run the gamut of emotion from sorrow to jubilation just reading this thread. Glad to hear that you may have figured it out.

That is good news about the push rod. This may turn out to be one of the good threads. Sorry she broke, but glad you have a handle on it.

Best of luck.
