My dad got a 2000 F 350 with the 7.3 in it. He got it with about 80000mi back in 05. About two weeks after getting it, he was heading up to Canada when the turbo blew. AAA hauled it to the dealer in Syracuse NY so it could get fixed. The used car dealer he got it from paid $1000 towards the fix and he had to fight with them to get that. But other than that, it hasn't caused him any other major problems.

Wow. I have never in my 4 years of working for Ford, have I seen a 7.3 turbo blow.

The 7.3 is an amazing engine. I have never done anything major to one. A fuel injector here and ther but that is it. Sometime the oil pans start leaking, and you have to remove the engine to reseal it, but that is about it. I've seen the 7.3s with 400,000 plus miles, and still going.

They had an issue with the camshaft sensors too. That is a 10 minute fix though, and was provided for free by Ford, as a recall.

Yeah, everyone here keeps saying that it rare for a 7.3 to lose a turbo that soon.
Do you ever work on any of the old 4.9's?

They were the old inline 6. You could get it in the F-150s as new as 96 and all the way back to the 60's or 70's.

[LeNeve]

Oh okay. duh. 300 inline ford. Yeah, I have worked on those. Those are the best in line 6 ever. I have put timing gears on some, but that is it. Those engines will run forever. I used to have a 89 f-150, that my stepdad bought new. It has over 400,000 miles on it, and he still has it.

Alot of farmers use the 4.9l as irrigation engines too. Amazing engines.

I think the old UPS trucks used them too.
My bro had one when he was 16. It was in a 78 F100 stepside that he wrecked. He put it in an 80 F100 that had a bad motor which was also wrecked. Anytime we got parts for it, we had to tell them that it's for a 76. So that motor outlived at least two trucks.
