John Harmon said: (quoted from post at 16:42:53 06/13/09) I saw a '97 Ford F350 Dually with a for sale on the window so I stopped to look at it as we need a spare truck occasionally.The guy got in and started it up and it started well and sounded like any 7.3 turbo so he shut it off and handed me the keys and said lets take it for a ride.First thing that caught my eye was the speedometer and then 312,000 miles was next. The Guy showed me the log book for maintenance and this engine has never had a valve cover or the oil pan off it. Some Inj.pump work and a water pump replace and that was it.
Question?? How long do these engines go with out major engine work. I had a '99 with a 7.3 but it only had 67,000 when I traded it off so I have no reference to go by.Any answers?
I have a 97 with a314,000 on it 5 speed hasnt skipped a beat bought it with 200,000 on it 17 mpg 2 owners before me it was used for hwy use hauling a goose neck light loads. Never been a part . Had to change a solenoid for glow plugs 50000 miles ago thats it. oh ya an alternator when i first got it. change oil every 6000 miles uses about a quart in 6ooo miles.
