Which Ford Diesel Motor is the Best? Powerstroke Shootout - Best Ford Diesel Engine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 бер 2018
- Power Stroke is a name used by a family of diesel engines for trucks produced by Ford Motor Company since 1994. Along with its use in the Ford F-Series (including the Ford Super Duty trucks), applications include the Ford E-Series, Ford Excursion, and Ford LCF commercial truck; the name was also used for a diesel engine used in South American production of the Ford Ranger.

The first engine to bear the Power Stroke name, the 7.3L Power Stroke V8 is the Ford version of the Navistar DT444E turbo-diesel V8. Introduced in 1994 as the replacement for the 7.3L IDI V8, the Power Stroke/T444E is a completely new engine, with only its bore and stroke dimensions common with its predecessor (resulting in its identical 444 cubic-inch displacement). In line with the IDI diesel.
The 1994.5 to 1996/97 DI Power stroke has "single shot" HEUI (hydraulically actuated electronic unit injection) fuel injectors and ran a high pressure oil pump (HPOP) to create the necessary oil pressure to fire the fuel injectors. This generation of Power Stroke utilizes an HPOP with a 15° swash plate angle. The 1995-1997 trucks use a cam-driven fuel pump, whereas the 1999-2003 trucks use a frame rail mounted electric fuel pump. The California trucks from 1996 and 1997 have split-shot fuel injectors; other trucks did not get split-shot injectors until 1999. Single-shot injectors only inject one charge of fuel per cycle, whereas the split-shot injector releases a preliminary light load before the main charge to initiate combustion in a more damped manner.
It utilizes a single turbocharger with a turbine housing size of 1.15 A/R. In 1999, an air-to-air intercooler was added to cool the charged air from the turbo for increased air density. With the new cooler, denser air would increase the horsepower potential of the engine, while also reducing exhaust gas temperatures (EGT). Eventually, the turbine housing was changed to a .84 A/R and a wastegate was added. With larger injectors, the HPOP output was increased by utilizing a 17° swash plate angle to meet the requirements of the new, higher flowing injectors.
The 7.3L DI Power Stroke was in production until the second quarter of model year 2003 when it was replaced by the 6.0L because of its inability to meet newer emission requirements. Nearly 2 million 7.3s were produced from International's Indianapolis plant.
The 7.3 L (444 CID) Power Stroke was replaced by the 6.0 L (365 CID) beginning in the second quarter of the 2003 model year. The 6.0L Power Stroke, was used in Ford Super Duty trucks until the 2007 model year but lasted until 2009 in the Ford Econoline vans (model year 2010) and in the Ford Excursion SUVs until after the 2005 models when Ford discontinued Excursion production. The engine has a 3.74 in (95 mm) bore and 4.13 in (105 mm) stroke creating a displacement of 365 cu in (6.0 L) or 5,954 cc. It utilizes a variable geometry turbocharger and intercooler, producing 325 hp (242 kW) and 570 lb⋅ft (773 N⋅m) torque with an 18:1 compression ratio, with fuel cutoff at 4,200 rpm. Many poorly maintained or modified 6.0 L Power Stroke engines experienced problems.

2000 Excursion 7.3 here. 315,000 miles on factory injectors. Best new car purchase i ever made!!
i had a boss that had over 1 million on his 7.3, so i bought a 99 7.3
I'll keep my 2000 7.3 over anything out there, thank you very much.
Jerry A I agree with u completely. I have a 2000, 2001 and a 2002. I’m currently looking for a 4th one to run for my lawn and tree businesses and all 3 are beasts and I will keep them till they they die.
My old 2000 had 512k kms when I sold it, no blow by, still runs just parked for trans reasons
6.4L for me please!
I just sold my 2004 6.0 and bought a 2000 7.3 and I'll never fo back, I absolutely love this truck...the 6 speed manual really helps. Video on my channel coming soon.
My uncle has a 7.3 with 520k miles on it and its still chuggin along.
My *7.3* is about to roll over *400,000* miles. I sold my last one with *360k miles.* _Love that 7.3!_
Barky Barker I worked for a guy for several years pulling a 38ft trailer with a 2000 dually 7.3. I put a lot of hard miles on her while I was going to college. Came home and helped a friend rebuild the oil cooler on it and she had almost 500,000 miles on the clock... I think that says everything about the 7.3.
Whats wrong Barky? You dont wanna see that 7.3 break in?
@@BamaShinesDistillery 😂😂😂 yeah 7.3s will take a good beating too. My uncle has 520k+ miles on his 7.3 and its still chuggin along. My cousins 7.3 is making around 175hp more than stock and keeps going. It has about 400k i think
Just bought my first 7.3. 2002 f250 crew cab 4x4. It had 412,000 miles on it when i bought it. It needed tires, had a few cosmetic problems, and it had a leak in the valley of the engine. Got all of that fixed, and it runs great! Love the truck!
I love the 7.3 good classic engine they just chug forever I’ve never really towed a lot with one my dad has a 2016 f250 4 door 8 foot bed I hauled 14k of water tanks the other day it didn’t even know it was there it is a beast to tow with and is super fast for a truck to me I guess we will c how long it will last
2001 , 7.3 with only 117k. After 17 years still got a long way to go
IS IT OVER 200K YET?
That’s nothing my 96 7.3 has 185,xxx on her now and that’s still nothing for the sweet 7.3s it’s almost impossible to kill an engine that was way way underpowered I’ll be swapping out my auto for a manual transmission hopefully within the next year maybe 2 and once it’s manual it will be millennial theft proofed they won’t know what the hell to do seeing a shifter level on the tree and a stick from the floor there brains might melt 😆
My 2001 7.3 f350 has 260k miles on it and still running
My dad’s 7.3 has over 400,000 on it and is still running fine. Mine has 300,000+ and is also doing well
I will have to say ill just keep my 2001 f250 hands down. Its been dependable for the 6 years I've had it, and yes it does have the 7.3l! I love it!
I'd have to say the 7.3. We run one on our landscaping crew and it's a beast. Weak as old dishwater, but very tough. Don't like cold weather much though
Every day It makes me happier to know I am a 7.3 owner. Love the 5.9, 12v is great, 24v is great, but I do love my truck :)
I’m on the other side of the coin. Have a 12V, but if I didn’t have one, I’d have a 7.3. They’re a touch harder to work on than a 12V (but what isn’t harder to work on than a 12V, you can fix it with a hammer.), but even as far as the look of the trucks go, the OBS 7.3’s and the super duty 7.3’s are both easier on the eyes than a 2G dodge. First gen dodge is probably better to look at than the fords…but I’m not gonna throw down 30 grand for a nice first gen.
Thanks for the video. I have already said to myself 7.3 but it's good to know.
got a 7.3 reg cab for 4500. and 167k. all I have done is bed liner oil change rear brakes.. running like a champ! got a steal!
Common issues happen - got 230 on mine and just starting having issues - a lil crap though - sensors , comp , oil cooler seals
6.0 has known issues that, when addressed correctly, result in extremely capable, very dependable and durable powerplants.
That pretty much goes with all of them 👍
I got a 6.0 and it's bullet-proofed and I love the motor
I have the 06 6.0. Sct tuned on towing, arps, egr delete, cold air intake , Garret turbo, coolant filter,straight pipe with high flow muffler. Sounds amazing. When it wears out I’m dropping a new 6.0 keeping the truck. Tows all week at work and camper on weekends.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It helped me a lot to chose a right engine. Cheers!
Loved my 7.3 till I got my 6.0 best truck out there!!
I’m with you. There is something comforting about doing 6.0 diags. Because at this point everything that could ever go wrong with that motor has been documented. When I first started working on them I hated the hot no start diag. Now it’s no sweat. I work on a lot of 6.0’s but I drive a 7.3, however if I was to buy another truck it would probably be a 6.0
What causes the hot no start condition? Never working on the 6.0L I have no idea what causes that.
BundysGarage It could be lots of things. Most of the time it’s a high pressure oil leak. Typically it’s a dummy plug or standpoint. Other things can be injector orings or fuel rail orings. 10 years ago things weren’t so well documented and these engines drove techs crazy. Now everything that can go wrong with a 6.0 has been figured out. Plenty of Factory and aftermarket solutions for the many 6.0 issues.
Thx
just bought a 94’ 7.3 idi and i absolutely love it
We have two 6.7l for work and we beat the piss out of them. One has 147,000 miles in two years, and we have never had an issue with them. Great engines
6.7 and 7.3
6.0 over all if bulletproofed because they just sound great🤙🏼
6.0 sounds the same as 7.3 powerstroke
@@faithingod9554 Eat a Snickers bud you're not you when you're hungry.
I grew up driving a 7.3 and think it’s great, but I absolutely love the 6.0 and wouldn’t want anything else. They get a bad rap but if you know how to take care of a diesel they’re fantastic and easy to fix.
Ron Burgundy and u can't beat the sound
UpShiftClutchUps Yeah buddy!
I would agree with him I've got a 24-valve flawless. But I've also got an 06 with a 6.0 and like he says we know everything about them. we know how to deal with them. I agree.
I got a total steal on an OBS 7.3L. Needs a little love and it will be pretty awesome.
Navistars 7.3 stands alone.
7.3 All day
I've got a 7.3 (T444e) in my 1995 International School bus (converted to a RV) and it has 185k miles on it. It runs great, and with proper maintenance it will outlast the bus itself.
I don't really like the Allison 545 trans, would like a 6 speed manual.
I own a early 99 powerstroke, 377K with 3 issues. Replaced injector wiring harness, IDM, IDI. I tow a 32' trailer from Florida to BC for the last 17 years, never a issue, but I do stay on top of the maintenance myself...
I have a 97 f250 7.3, and she has 82k original miles, I plan on owning this truck for a long time!
Tyler Hargett that’s insane
Drives it to the end of the driveway to get his mail every day. 😉
@@jameshite4820 i bought the truck as the second owner with 82k on it lol, ive had it for 2 years now and it has 113K now
Gota a 97 crew automatic 7.3 with 122k from a copart auction for 1600 not running, prev owner snapped a bolt disconnecting a coolant tube from the waterpump and gave up. Has 136k now and made about 5 trips towing from NY to TX, engine is great.
250k miles on my 2005 6.0. No Bulletproof Done but religious maintenance. Egr deleted at 100k. Yes I tow a large trailer and no programmer.
I don’t understand the haters of this motor when it absolutely hauls ass and I can tow anything I want and when not getting 21mpg on the Hwy
You gotta respect the 7.3 sure for today's standard they're not too powerful but for towing they are reliable and built to last. The 6.0 sound with the turbo spooling is my favorite.
i have a 7.3 f250 POWER STROKE that i bought new in 1999 and still use almost every day. it has 657,223 miles on it and ive hauled case and cat dozers tractors and combines and shes still chuggin strong. shes had 2 transmissions a new rear differential new steering system but the same 7.3 is still pulling like a boss.
I have a 85 6.9 turbo diesel that the odometer quit keeping track at 497000 so I do have to say definitely 6.9 or 7.3 as well
"They (6.7) are still under warranty". The 6.7 has been out for seven years now. Really think about that.
Got a 09 6.4 completely bulletproofed and it is a monster
1994 1/2 -7.3 Powerstroke dually. 344k miles, 5th set of tires..3rd clutch...reman injectors, on 2nd HPOP....all fluids maintained...great hauling gooseneck for me all these years. Worth more to me than the few thousand $'s Id get selling it.
7.3 she sounds deep and real 7.3 all day
Vladimir Yemelyanov 500 foot pounds is weak, please....7.3 connecting rods that are in that engine are the largest of all other Ford Diesels. And yes, bigger than the 6.7. No replacement for displacement
Who cares. If its reliable I would not care if Hoover made it.
Frank Morreale size of connecting rods doesn’t matter if you put the 7.3 with a fuel system of a 6.4 or 6.7 it would probably split the block and be broke constantly. With big power comes more broken stuff. Why do you think the 5.9 and 7.3 both run forever they both have the lowest power numbers. Soon as dodge made the 6.7 they to ran into issues of failure. Personally no matter how hard they are to work on the 6.4 is my favorite ford. They can make power easier than any other ford engine that’s why they break. You can take a stock truck and run a 300 hp tune and it will run it. Lift pump is about the only thing that makes much difference. 6.4 failure points was in the stock regen system once deleted its 100x better.
i have a 7.3 f250 POWER STROKE that i bought new in 1999 and still use almost every day. it has 657,223 miles on it and ive hauled case and cat dozers tractors and combines and shes still chuggin strong. shes had 2 trannsmissions a new rear differential new steering system but the same 7.3 is still pulling like a boss.
6.0 is and will always be the best.
😂
Sound great and solid power - but a pos if ya don't put 5-6gs into it lol
That’s a good joke
Proud 7.3 owner with 500HP, i will keep my truck for a very long time!
We got a 89 350 dully 7.3 international with a mechanical fuel pump and the only complaint I have is the air intrusion to the fuel other then that I love how basic it is with no computer stuff on it
The 7.3 is clearly the engine to have, particularly the pre-‘02/‘03 ones with forged connecting rods. International designed this engine for commercial use from the start, so it’s tough! Don’t expect any other Powerstroke to pull a Class 6 truck with payload reliably for 400k+ miles. But the 7.3 was born for it.
Buddy 99.5 and up to 03 have fordge connecting rods
99-e01 have forged rods, l01-03 have powdered metal
Haha it's funny when older mechanics say the 6.7 "just hasn't been out long enough". Hell, they're at 8 years now. They've proven to be pretty damn robust
Ignore the first 2 years is what I know on 6.7 fords crappy oil pans and issues with turbo bearings I think.
2000 model 7.3 is what I have , every day service truck for me , wished it was a super cab but it’s good like this
The 6.4L is my dream truck , ours has 600 Hp with 965 pound feet of torque and it’s not bulletproof and it never had one problem in the 8 years we have owned it
My dads 7.3 98 E-350 is about to hit 500k nd still running like champ. Just recently bought 97 F-250 with 185k for 2300k runs perfect. My opinion was a steal. My dad paid 3500 for his 98
Rodrigo Castillo The problem with the 7.3 is transmission Ford hooked to it. They need a rebuild about every 75,000 miles.
Thomas Jenkins the 98 one the ambulance one we have the only thing major that happen to it was the tail end of the tranny. I think that was the most major thing that I can think of. Other then that the other stuff are very minor.
Rodrigo Castillo look at some videos on UA-cam about upgrading these trans.I rebuilt mine myself ,got extra clutches,upgraded the valve body, better torque converter.
Bruce Lee what videos you saw about this so I can think of doing to the 97 7.3?
Same i have a 95 Ford E-350 7.3l and it still runs like if it's new and it has 321k. And amazing van
You said it best the 7.3 was and is a TANK
Hooked On Diesel the 7.3 is a dog...
7.3 was by far the best and most reliable, not many of them left in good shape tho
Mike Cude that may be true but I've driven my 02 7.3 the last 10 years with no complaints. 38R turbos should have come stock on them though.
7.3 was on par with the other diesels of it's time. Of course it's a dog now
Just about to hit 300k on my 7.3.... and 30k on the transmission lol
interesting, good advice for those with little diesel information.
Have had a 2004 (Brazil built) F250 7.3 Navistar (International) T444E engined Superduty 4x4 since 2006. Bought it with 104,000kms used as the 2nd owner, and still have it now, 2018, so its 14 years old & ive owned it the last 12 years BUT it only has 170,000 kms on it now so I’ve added only 66,000 kms in 12 years, so only about 5000kms or 3000 Miles a year added on average.
Only issues I’ve had in that time?
Had to change out an IDM (Injector drive module) located up inside the LH front mudguard, after a creek crossing got magnetic black sands out of the muddy water all along the IDM connector pins bus bar, that created a track path for 4 of the 8 cylinders on one bank of the V8.
It was under warranty (Extended Ford warranty), BUT there was no Ford Dealer within 1000kms in any direction, so being a iron ore mining town full of heavy duty diesel mechanics Ford verbally authorised repairs with a local diesel mechanic shop. It took 3 repairers, 8 months, and about $8000 odd dollars to get it diagnosed and running again & that included $1k for the “Engineuity” diagnostic program dingle & non IBD11 unlock code from USA to figure out what was wrong!
Of course Ford then refused to pay up leaving me to foot the entire bill!
Other than that I’ve had to do a HPOP “O” ring replacement, the heater core leaked, so I bypassed it, still waiting to repair it!
CD player ate my CD’s and won’t play them or give them back.
Other than that just normal oil & filter changes.
Not really complaining, it pulls pretty much anything I hook up behind it.
Biggest problem is I keep getting people wanting to buy it off me!
I paid $82K Aus for it in Dec 2006, & I get offers around $55-60K now for it used, because the mileage is so low at only 170,000kms or just a tad over 100,000 Miles, for its age & the fact it’s a 7.3
They command huge prices downunder, because finding RHD models isn’t easy.
The 2018 Lariat F250 in RHD configuration new downunder is no change from $150k.
They attract all sorts of exchange rate, import duty, luxury car tax and of course about $50k worth of RHD conversion cost once they get here from USA.
I’d replace it IF I could find anything comparable in towing capacity etc, at a even halfway comparable cost, which I just can’t do at the moment.
Funniest part was when the guy asked if he could just weld the con rod back in
Check engine !
Yup she's still there 😂
I would have kept my 7.3 had it been a 4x4 (sold it for $7k (‘99 model four door straight piped and ram air with a tow chip and it had 300k miles on it-I still see it every now and then towing a landscape trailer and that was four to five years ago I sold it to the guy) but I have my 6.0 built and it has 248k miles on it and I get 20mpg on the freeway. I. A 6.0 guy til I die! Great video and thanks for sharing.
So which do you like better? The 7.3L or the 6.0L?
Just bought a 97 crew cab 7.3 with 170000 on it. Couldn't be happier with it. Used to drive an 01 Cummins, and will say this. You can't beat the Cummins, but as far as the truck around the motor. My Ford is twice the truck that Dodge was. You can just tell they built them way better than a Dodge, as far as the quality of interior parts ect.
7.3 l is my truck
7.3 and 6.0 are the best hands down 6.0 is awesome and the 6.0 has its issues but if you have the last of them with egr delete or a bulletproof egr cooler and a coolant filter the 6.0 is a superb engine
My 96 XLT F 350 dually is still kick in . Its still stock except for changing the cold air intake and the exhaust down pipe she's got 335000 miles I pulled a 38 ft 5th wheel trailer across this country for 12 yrs she's still kicking ole Gracie is !
Hey yeah the 7.3 liter powerstroke is the best!!! I've had a few different ones the one I had with the most miles on it out of the 5 I've opened had over 800,000 miles on it still running strong when I sold it. I had another one with over six hundred thousand miles on it still running strong when I sold it that particular one was an ambulance. I currently have a 2001 Ford f250 super duty super cab 4X4 7.3 powerstroke with 422000+ miles on it and it runs excellent! I actually currently have it for sale for $8,000...
These are excellent engines if you take care of them. I've seen them go over a million miles.
wondering how quick or fast that pickup went. Im looking at a van with a 7.3. just dont wanna drive like a granny. how fast will she go ?
It's really not a fair comparison 'cause some of you have to leave the engine wrecking DPF, EGR systems in place. My 6.4 has 296,000 mi without a single issue, towing hard in the mountains out West. The early systems were death for these engines.
6.7. Have had two now and both have been very reliable.
i am a jabroney same here .
Fuck the 6.7 all about the 7.3
Should of had one.....lol
My 1991 long bed 5 speed manual transmission 7.3 IDI 495000 miles and still kicking ass
im very new to trucks, and am deciding on what my first truck should be. my experience with driving large vehicles would be my dads 2018 gmc sierra, the e series ford van and 1999 gmc suburban xlt (first thing i drove). i love the body style of the 2001-2006 ford f250-f350 and i want to know which would be the best one to get. i have one car and one motorcycle at the moment im not worried about cost either, just the best of the best option
Well, the 6.7 is the only one in the list that is actually a Ford manufactured engine.
Justin E thought Ford tried making some of the first 6.0s?
Whiskey Tango, negative. Ford introduced the 6.9 IDI in the early 80s and then soon partnered with International with that same 6.9..... 6.9, 7.3, 6.0, and 6.4 were all with International and Navistar-International. They cut ties with Navistar-International after the horrible dependability of the 6.4.
Very true! The 6.7L had a few early build failures. But seems to be a very solid engine. I have seen a lot with well of 200k miles on them. But like all modern diesels they do have some issues with the emissions systems.
Yep
Justin E The 6.7’s are too
Owning both a 7.3 and a 6.0 you can feel the difference. 6.0 is a great engine but a 7.3 is just like a 5.9 12 valve. I'ts just hard to beat those old school diesels!
I.m also of the opinion that trucks out west has a different set of issues than a cold climate truck. Larger thermal differences create problems that warm climate vehicles take longer to have.
Chip Saunders
Your right,
The old P pump 12v's still rock n roll
Dont compare that pos to a cummins lmao
@@morgancorypalmer dont compare the 7.3 to that p.o.s! Jk love all cummins and 7.3 and 6 0 ih but i dont know a whole lot about cummins so i woul pick 7.3 or 6.0
Reliable but a bit of a turd. To call the 6.0 a great engine is the definition of a stretch 😂
Once you Bulletproof them. But why should you have to spend so much money to BP them when they should have come like that from Ford??? That’s why Ford sucks! And now their electric trucks are catching on fire: ua-cam.com/video/MUEA9hEIRiA/v-deo.html
I have a 97 F250 7.3 and a 93 F350 7.3 IDI granted I love the IDI for simplicity but when it comes to hauling or towing I always use the PSD mine has 315k miles and the factory injectors finally gave out of course I’m goin to stage 1 from full force since I live right down the road from them but other then the upgraded injectors TS 6pos intake and exhaust it’s all stock
680k miles on my 99 7.3 still running like a champion
7.3L is reliable but no power compared to the newer engines. I like the ease of maintenance and power of the 6.0L. My 6.4L is very powerful.
I love my 7.3 liters, it stretches like a mad dog 25 thousand pounds and 26 thousand pounds without problem I do not change it for any engine on the market it is true that everyone runs faster and the 7.3 is slow but overwhelming. news of my friends is a lack of respect are a joke those new trokas hahaha 7.3 7.3 for a while without discussion
7.3, 6.0 and 6.4 are International engines. I work for UPS and we have a 24 foot trucks with a 5 speed and the 7.3 T444e with 880,000 miles.
97 7.3 and ill pay to rebuild the motor when time comes love this truck
I love my 99 7.3
7.3 all day any day!
Deleted Gen 2 6.7 is the new 7.3 but with even more power for towing and hauling.
Im happy thats what I have!!!
7.3 all the way ...almost hit 300,000
Almost lol define almost
Congrats its almost broke in 😊
7.3 hands down !!
Love my 2000 7.3. I only have about 135,000 miles on it... But it runs like a champ.
7.3L are super popular everywhere in the country except for California. If anyone needs a turbo or high pressure pump for one shoot me an email.
Love my 7.3 with a ZF6 manual...
All I know is that man has an amazing mustache
6.4
how is the '97 f-250 7.3? possibly looking into getting one in the next month or two to haul my tiny house.
I have a 2002 F250 7.3L Diesel Powerstroke with original engine and transmission, 405k and still running strong!
That’s awesome! How often do you change the oil and what type of oil and filter do you use? Have you seen this problem with your 7.3L?

For me I prefer the 6.7
I've had them all and the only one I was disappointed in was the 6.4
I drive a 7.3 daily and the towing abilities is low compared to my 6.7
Jondavid Bristow dude it won’t be low if you tune it put a straight pipe and air filter
I’ve had all of them myself and agree 💯.... I currently have a 6.7... It’s totally stock but runs, pulls & drive excellent... The 6.4 was my least favorite as well......
THE 7.3L WILL RISE AGAIN!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
It never fell. There will be original 7.3’s running long after the newest 6.7’s have already shit the bed
Like the 7.3 and the 6.0 but deleting the 6.7 my gawd😍 it’s amazing 154,000 miles and everything is stock only the DPF/DEF and EGR are gone and oh she’s got power much more than the 7.3 and 6.0
I like the 6.0 best even because it has power and they sound good enen though they got alot of issues but in power wise i would 6.0-6.7-6.4-7.3 but if reliable wise i would go 7.3-6.7-6.0-6.4 but also if i would have to pick one for pulling it would go 7.3-6.7-6.4-6.0 so that my opinion
I went to the NHRDA Diesel drags in Arizona this year and all the Ford drivers were running Cummins...lol
It’s also funny, that Chrysler still has to pay cummins to make them engines! Lol! Cummins makes some great stuff don’t get me wrong.
7.3 is the way to go, very simple system to work on and maintain. So simple that most people over think it. I have a click over 400,000 miles on mine and drive It like I stole it. It's a 2001 F-350 supercrew long bed dually. Best diesel engine by far. You really have to neglect it and shove dirt inside the intake to kill them, otherwise the 7.3 will just keep going. Hard to kill a 7.3 period.
I have a 1997 F-250 HD 7.3 with only 192k miles, it's just getting broken in! It needs a lot of work, body wise is pretty rough but it'll be a really nice truck when I get done with it. Manual tranny, long box, extended cab 4x4.
It's pretty dated compared to the 6.7, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Can't even get a manual in the newer trucks so they aren't for me! I'm old school and a truck driver by day, you'll never convince me that an automatic is better for towing!
Mine is strictly used for work, and sits the rest of the time so it won't rack up miles fast. I've barely put 2k on it in the last year alone. Someday when I get it all fancied up it'll make the 6.7 guys jealous I hope! The OBS was the last real truck Ford made in my opinion, I've never cared for the Super Duty body style, looks like a melted chocolate bar to me!
That’s a good one, melted chocolate bar. I was at a Ford dealership the other day with my buddy who bought a new Mustang and the instrument cluster went out 5 days later. While he was in service I went and looked at the new F-350’s, $85,000 dollars for a top of the line pick up truck! WTF! I can’t afford that, who can?!? I’ll keep my 98 Silverado 5.7L that’s paid off. That’s silly, $85,000 for a new truck. In 10 years they will be $125,000! I think manufacturers should get back to basics. Pull all the fancy crap you don’t need off, satellite wi-fi, trucks that back up a trailer for you (your not a real man if you can’t back up a truck with a trailer attached) give me a manual trans, power nothing, AC, anti lock brakes, I think they would sell more trucks that way. But that’s just my 2 cents.
That accidental knuckles at 3:22 was funny.
7.3 all day for long time running 300,000 and have not touched it
Ive heard that the 6.0L has alot of issues including their turbos grenading. Many swear by the 7.3L (international). I havent heard anything about the 6.4L or 6.7L.
Kingswood7189 7.3 6.0 6.4 are international navistar 6.7 is ford
6.7L without the emissions garbage is hands down beast of diesels if you want a diesel the back yard mechanic can work on get a 6.9L or 7.3L the 6.7L is all computers
The reason people think that 6.0L powerstroke turbo grenadin is not true mine still goes strong to prevent that from happening u need to let the turbo cool off for 5 mins at in idle before shutting off the truck
im a tech I own a 6.0 and I agree with everything you said except studding the heads. mine is tuned and the problem is a 6.0 only has four head bolts per cylinder and they are torque to yield if you tune them up they will blow the head gasket. My 6.0 has all the upgrades with a banks turbo system and sct programmer it flat out hauls ass. The 7.3 is bullet proof but I wanted a newer truck and 6.4 suck. The new 6.7 is not to bad they got most of the bugs worked out of them but they do have there issues.
I have a 97 f250 4x4 5speed with 425,000 miles on it. Original turbo, original injectors, all original internally. STILL gets 18 mpg. Never had a tuner on it. Still my daily driver. Just think if the EPA was out of the way, what could be done with diesel engines.
7.3 is just legendary
Very popular motor, people are still seeking turbos for this engine.
BundysGarage exactly , the engine is amazing. same as the old cummins for me
That's why I like 6.9's. I know everything about them.
6.9's...funny
They last. Less stuff to go wrong. And 12 valves are too expensive. Plus. Pretty nice body style.
The only True for engine of the group. The 6.7L Powerstroke seems to be holding up well. I work in a shop and we have seems plenty of them with well over 200k miles on them. The early ones had some issues. Fuel system issues/oil leaks etc. But later ones are better. They are of course plagued with some emissions problems. But that is any modern diesel no matter the brand.
I have a 7.3 with over 500k still running little tiered don't pull hills like it use to but gets it done
7.3 and I like Cummins
7.3 forever!
I wanna get instructions from this mechanic on how to emgine swap a ford 7.3 gas engine to a fit compatible cummins diesel which would likely be smaller maybe 6.0 seeing i have a
ford e-450 Van 2002 model
My 02 f250 7.3 has 340 thousand on it. My 03 excursion with a 7.3 has 180 thousand on it. Both have given me zero issues.
