[QUOTE="mightyman, post: 899894, member: 51634"] The 7.3 Diesel is the engine to go with. If you take care of it, it will last forever. I sell to many Ford dealerships around the US and that is the last of the best diesl engines....many later diesels have problems and especially the 6.0 I can't tell you how many of them I saw in crates ready to be replaced by the Ford dealer under warranty. I purchased a low mile 2002 Ford 7.3, F350 crew a couple years ago with 77K on it and it was not even broke in.. Change the fluids regularly, and get a fuel injection service about every 15-20K and you will be fine. Note that the Turbo on these is inferior, and you will most likely replace it after 100K...aftermarket designs have been corrected, but if you replace it with an OE one, it will still have the factory defect and go out again in another 100K... But it is the best diesel that Ford ever made... Mighty Man [/QUOTE]
