My 7.3's have been pretty bullet proof. Have done nothing internal to either one. They like to wear out glowplug relays, not a big deal. Another minor issue is with the exhaust backpressure sensor getting plugged. Both have had some or all accessories replaced. Both have started leaking some fuel, a product of the ULSD switchover, I am told. My '95 with 260k has worn out 3 auto transmissions, and I think I had to do a valve-cover wiring harness. Still has the original Cam sensor. The '96 with 160k on it has worn out 1 transmission and a cam sensor. I do have a 60-100hp "Edge" chip in it. Was a dog when I bought it. I keep it set on the 80 hp setting. Rarely get better than 13 mpg, but it I recon some of that is the fuel dripping out(aka underbody rust protection) I do have to keep an eye on exhaust temps when towing hard, but you shouldn't have that problem with your intercooled engine. BUT if you do ANY mods to it, you need a pyrometer and, if and auto, a trans temp guage. Friend of mine that owns a diesel performance shop told me if you can find one of the older rigs that is in good shape, KEEP IT. The newer ones are a PITA.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
