Joined the club- 2003 7.3 w 57k miles

Hey everyone! I joined the 7.3 club with a 2003 Lariat. Sweet, truck that’s barely been broken in. I’ve wanted one forever- grandad bought his new in ‘99- oh the memories in that truck! Anyways- I happened to see this beauty about two hours north of me, and I couldn’t resist. Part of me can’t believe I paid this much for a 20 year old used truck LOL, but then again I think I actually got a decent deal considering. I know for sure I’ll probably never see with this kind of mileage. It’s bone stock. Sorry was getting dark on the way home- but couldn’t wait to share some pics.

Welcome to this forum cpriest10. You have found a gem, should serve you well into the future. My dad, a master diesel mechanic stressed that oil/filters and fuel/filters were the key to a long life for a diesel.

Thanks! Yes sir- Texas Panhandle truck it’s entire life. Guy came out asking 28k and I’ve been lurking on it. Made a deal yesterday for 21k + TT&L. Must say I haven’t been this excited for a truck purchase ever. Can’t wait to show grandad this afternoon- he can’t drive anymore but he will be smiling ear to ear.

Congrats and welcome to this crazy group! Beautiful truck and looks to be a true gem.

It’s not bone stock though. I spot an AIS intake hiding in this photo. It’s a great improvement over stock in my opinion (stock boxes break and can leak) and shows someone took good care of this truck.

No need for the “sorry.” We all love photos. Thanks for sharing!
