Need some diesel help!!! So I'm in the market for a diesel right now to use as my daily/towrig. I have narrowed it down to a 99-03 for 7.3l 4x4. Does anyone on here know of any big things I should look/keep an eye out for while looking for a truck. Any big problems? Any help would be really valuable.

7.3 powerstrokes are fine, probly the only good thing ford made. the auto transmissions are a little weak, but the 7.3 was an excellent, reliable motor. my last one had 347,000 when i dumped it. if your going to get a 4x4 try to find a srw f-350 so you get the dana 60 up front. you can tell a lot about how people maintain powerstrokes by looking at the air filter. if they go too far between oil changes , or are run really hard, the filter becomes oil soaked, and so does the air box. or just get an lbz duramax and forget the rest
Like said before the cummins diesel is hard to beat, they have about 1/2 the moving parts as the other diesels. which you know makes them more reliable and less expensive to rebuild or fix if you have to.

ford 7.3L isnt a bad motor, they dont make a bunch of power, but its and good reliable motor, stay away from the 6.0's those things are horrible..... if you want more info talk to luke (camarojunky74) he used to work on them all the time and knows alot about them

Let me know when that truck falls apart and all that is left is the engine, that way you can sell it to me to do a transplant Jose. I can pm you a link of what to look out for Darkknight.
