I got a 2024 7.3
Traded in my 2022 Ram 3500 4x4 cc LB DRW 6.7 CTD for a 2024 F250 super cab shortbed 4x4 with the 7.3 gas.
I know Ford redid some things with the 7.3 2023 model year, we’re any of the bugs fixed such as the lifter issues?

Haven't heard of any significant lifter issues in the 2023+ trucks, but I'm sure if someone got a lemon, they'll chime in shortly. There's a service bulletin for a software update that affects the oil pump control solenoid (or whatever it's called). You might want to search for info on that, to make sure your truck was built after the update was made, or take it in to have it done. I've had my F-350 7.3 for a week now, already 900 miles on it, and it's been amazing so far. I'm coming from a 98.5 Ram 2500 Cummins.

Where are the posts with 2023 lifter failures? I thought I had seen one on this site, but I cannot find any now. I heard Ford identified and fixed the lifter issue in model year 2023. Ford gave internal training for model year 2023 and stated the issue had been corrected, but this latest CSP to reflash the PCM in order to raise idle oil pressure has me wondering…
Ford did fix the bug with the instrument cluster that would not remember the last screen you were on, but introduced another bug that removes the measurement screen when you customize your instrument cluster for towing and you are using Apple Maps to navigate. I understand it does this when using the built-in navigation as well.

Smooth sailing so far with our three 2024 7.3L trucks. I too hope the lifter issue is all cleared up as our 2021 7.3L didnt make it past 30k before engine failure hence why we waited a few more years before purchasing more trucks.

Thanks for sharing that. This is the only issue with the ‘23+ 7.3L that I am aware of. If Ford could figure this out, the engine appears to be a good one. I like my ‘23. Hopefully the oil idle pressure CSP really does fix this once and for all, but I am going to remain skeptical, given how long this issue has been going on.
