"What's the benefit of towing with a chip & how much HP is safe?" ...so keep an eye out for it!
Can't wait for that thread! I'm sure it'll be interesting and start some good debate!

****, that didn't work. I don't know how to post a picture to my name here. If you look under my name, in my account information, it should be there. I loaded it into "garages" - as "Dirty *******".

That is a nice looking pickup for $8K!! The front bumper is worth %20 of the purchase price.

Thanks! You think it's worth $8k even with the miles?

I think that is a great price as long as everything is mechanically sound.

You know you replied to a 9 year old thread, right?

It's still a valid question for newbies, so there are still some valid answers. I don't blame a new user for being enthused about topping 700K and sharing on the first opportunity.

Welcome to FTE!

Don't worry about waking up this old thread. I've done it too. My 7.3 does not have half the miles your's has, but even half is impressive.

Not hating here. Just letting him know it’s an old thread. I’ve inadvertently replied to old threads before that the OP had long ago made his decision. I too hope I get to half of 2002F350’s miles.

The resurrection of an old thread is not about the original poster.

It is more about the original question.

The resurgence is proof of commonality in that original question, and supports the relevancy of continuing to answer it.



2000 E350 7.3L diesel






Gary Uhlman's Ford F250 7.3 has over 703,000 miles on the clock, with no overhaul.






2001 F350 cab and chassis 4X4 Lariat edition 7.3 (owner name not provided)






Another blast from the past...

https://www.leftlanenews.com/2002-f-...-counting.html


There are many posters who report that their 7.3L is still on the road now with in excess of 800,000 miles and counting. However, I think the odometer pictures are the most compelling convincers, so it would be fun if more people would post odometer pics. I haven't even reached 70K miles on my truck yet, so no pics from me.

Well, on second thought, maybe one pic...



Should I be worried?
