I work part time for the parking concession (read I take your money and let you park)at a local event center. It used to be free, but since we started charging we get our share of grumbling or worse. To overcome this I try to make some appropriate comments to diffuse any potential hostility. In the case where I get a Ford diesel coming thru I'll make some positive remarks. Typically the guy will ask, or I will tell that I have a 7.3LPSD. To a man they will reply to 'hang on to what you got, that's the best diesel Ford ever put out' or' I wish I still had mine'.
Just thought I'd share.

 

My 7.3 will never be for sale.

 

Mine either which i hope to be a longgggggggg time cause i think you have a couple years on me Dan lol

 

I plan on keeping mine for a while. I'd like a long box and if I came across a screamer of a deal (and could swap all my stuff over) I'd consider getting rid of the shorty.

 

Cool story, i'll never give mine up, big poppa's part of the family...

 

Same here, they can try to pry from my cold dead fingers...

 

yeah I have no plans of getting rid of mine...

 

I did the math. If I drive 10,000 miles per year (which is about average for me) my truck will reach 700,000 miles by the time I am 77!

I know of a few guys who had 7.3's who regret getting rid of them.

 

Got too much tied up in it to get rid of it....love it as well.

 

l never get rid of mine if it croaks I will put a new engine in her and keep going
