Info needed on 7.3 Powerstroke

[duckman444]

I have owned several ford diesels as have my dad. My current truck is 01f250 180,000miles. Do not give 10,000 for that truck. U can get them for 4,000-6,000 all day long. Great truck but that year 7.3 did not have intercooler. It does not have the same upgrades that a stock 99-02 7.3 motor has. Thus they tend to not last as long as the newer 7.3's. Also they get horrible mpg. This is from expierence not opinion. Way to much for that many miles.
