I manufactured that engine. I was a manufacturing engineer at Navistar when we built the 7.3L Powerstroke for Ford. It was a "black box" product. Ford gave us the performance goals and we designed and built the engine. It has forged crank and rods (until rods were later changed to powdered forgings), the cam was machined from billet steel and the block and heads were cast and machined in our factory in Indianapolis along with the cam, crank and rods. We produced one engine every minute. After the 6.0 fiasco Ford started working to developing their own engine. Navistar turned away from quality to cost cutting and ruined their own engines. I believe Ford's first engine was the 6.7 (I left Navistar after the 7.3). The corporate atmosphere changed. When the 7.3 was being produced we believed we were the premier engine manufacturer, we were the best at what we did and we made the best engine. Even the hourly guys had the ability to halt the production line when they saw a quality problem. And they took pride in what they were producing. After the 7.3L all that changed and making a cheap engine was the goal.
7.3 was "reliable" because it was so modestly powered. 6.0 is much faster and can hold much more power but has additional design flaws that come with that. 7.3 can't hold the power the modern and 6.0/6.4 diesels had without a complete rebuild.
350k on my 97. I love it so much I can't see ever letting it go. With an open air filter and remap it still pulls super hard. Thanks for your efforts in producing this wonderful engine.
My dad's a Ford guy. He had a 6.0 that was ALWAYS broken. He's got a new Ecoboost that's okay, but his daily driver is still a '95 7.3 Powerstroke. The only problem he ever had with that trunk was electrical and had nothing to do with the engine. It has 571K miles and is still going strong.
571K that's insane. My 02 Suburban is at 200k and still goes like a champ. Only problem I've had was a fuel pump going out around 180k. But I was kinda asking for it since it was an original part from factory
I was thinking the same thing! But shit, the bid is over 20k right now, so hoovie is probably thrilled. Personally I'd sell it weezard, and maybe swap the interior for lariat leather. Then it would be perfect
I have older gentlemen asking me all the time if I wanna sell my F250 7.3L. They all say the same thing, I regret selling mine. So I’m keeping till it dies, or I die lol. My daughters always say that they are burying my truck with me.
@@jinglemyberries866 These trucks are notorious for rust damage. A stock "fair" condition truck with a 7.3 would sell between 9k and 12k. 9k with bad rot and 12k with minimal rust. A semi restored 7.3 excursion or a heavily modified one can go for upwards of 25k at auction depending on the job done. Ive seen a FULLY restored truck (showroom quality) with a 7.3 sell for 43K

I have a 96 7.3 PSD. It’s got a built trans, a nice exhaust, and a 4” lift on 35’s. It’s like the passage of time, or a valley being born from a small winding river. A strong redwood cemented through millennia by its roots. What I’m saying is that it’s slow. Really slow. But I love it.
I don't think it's fair saying "All new ford's are junk" the first iteration of 6.7 powerstrokes (2011-2013) were, in my opinion, better than the 7.3. Longevity, power load, and flat out reliability. I've heard of people with 2018+ powerstrokes having issues. But that's the third iteration of the 6.7, stick with 2012 superdutys if you want to upgrade from a high mileage 7.3. My 2012 was bought with 200 miles. I've now got almost 400k. The only service I had, was replacing my Def tank 4 years ago. That's it. Still using the original Mastercraft batteries too. If you want a powerstroke, stick to these years, and just stay away from 6.0/6.4s all together... 1998-2003 or 2011-2013.
And bill Hewlett of powerstroke specialty ua-cam.com/users/powerstrokehelp pretty much wont touch a 6.4 anymore because he considers them a throwaway engine.
@@Seasonal50 lol I started with idis! The non turbos seemed to be my most reliable but God the e4od transmission that most of them came with was just awful..
All we used until three years ago was 7.3’s and they pulled anything we hooked up to. We tried a duramax. And it did okay. Pulled well but that’s about it. We traded it in before 100000 kms. And we now have a 6.7 powerstroke and it hasn’t had any problems yet. And one thing I hate when people say Is “you need horsepower to pull” you don’t! Unless you don’t know how to pull a load. And yes they are basic but you know what it gets the work done and looks so good doing it
@@matthewpaine6908 Mormons would never buy something so flashy lol. Them and the mennonites are still mad that you can no longer buy a Ford van with crank windows, radio delete and no a/c.
The new 6.7s are the most reliable trucks on the market now. Hard to compare the old trucks to the new ones, due to regulations all companies had to re-engineer everything
To be honest the 7.3 is more affordable when they are perfect 1999 F-350 XL I could get for under $30,000 a new 6.7 upwards of $77,000 new and a used one with a much lower price is rare
I had a 97 F350 CrewCab Dually 7.3 w/5-speed. 580,000 miles on it. -It had high performance turbo, injectors, oil pump, fuel system, clutch, and all supporting modifications. I daily drove that truck for 3 years, towed with it, and put 93k on it. During its lifetime, I don't think I ever saw it get below 16 MPG with an avg of 18-21 MPG. All fuel stops, mileage, and receipts recorded. An exception would be when I towed a mobile home and left it running overnight in the winter to sleep with heat. That trip was 10~ MPG. It leaked some oil. The only thing that broke was a fuse due to a fuel bowl heater short. That's it. Tell me a 7.3 with power can't be reliable. I'll wait.
Just wanted to point out a small mistake, not ragging on you just wanted to let you know. The 6.7 is not a twin turbo engine from the factory. It is a Single VGT turbo in the valley. The 6.4 was a compound turbo engine. The early 6.7 engines had a twin scroll turbocharger where it had 2 inlets for the compressor housing and the compressor wheel was 2 sided. It was a very interesting setup.
I would take the 7.3 Liter every day and twice on Sunday over anything newer. And I LOVE the sound of the old 7.3s! Simple, reliable, rock solid. Gimme.
I own a 2003 Ford F-250 7.3 Crew Cab 4x4, 59,000 miles(all original-white color-tan leather & always garaged) purchased new 12/92. I went to buy new engine 6.0 diesel but dealer told me the new 6.0 engine had issues and they extended the 7.3 due to the 6.0 engine issues. Purchased 7.3 and who new right? No engine issues ever but the truck eats tires 3rd set. I bought @ $7600 off sticker. Still have all docs too. My new Nextdoor came over and looked at my truck and he got so excited I thought he was going to faint and he told me to name my price and I told him no because I promised the truck to my son in law! Truck is a beast as the truck will lay a tire scratch with little effort. Looks like the day I bought brand new.
Lol. My 6.7 and 6.0 have without a doubt outlasted most of his entire fleet in reliability. And if it’s the best SUV ever made....why not keep it? Oh because the DeLorean is more reliable. He must be a DeLorean guy
The 6.4L was a "twin turbo" diesel 2008-2010. My folks had one. It didn't have any problems but was traded in on a 6.7L before it could. The 6.0 they had before the 6.4 blew up on the guy that bought it after it was traded in. Lasted a week and head gasket went. They are on their 2nd 6.7L now with zero issues with them.
@@asdasd-ni8eg the 7.3 was built for Ford by Navistar International....formerly International Harvester. It wasn't a derivative, we designed and manufactured it and sold it to Ford.
Wish Ford would bring back the excursion, it was a great suv. It would be awesome to get a 2020 excursion with the new 7.3 GAS v8 and the 10speed transmission.
Jason Voorhees 7.3 was great but the 6.0 and 6.4 were pure shit even at a basic long block level and both 100% International Navistar engines. 6.7 is the best medium duty diesel ever made once deleted, 100% Ford design. Seems like Ford should have been designing and building their own diesels the day they retired the 7.3.
Hoovie didn't even let jrgo drive the 7.3. and he was hating on his truck like the whole time I kinda feel sorry for him. Showing up to just get crapped on for a day 😂
Super annoying how he is disrespectful to his friend. Is it because he doesn't have as many subs as him? Trys to put down the new truck just because it isn't his and talks up his garbage so he can get a higher bid for it. His personality is off-putting and Ill be unsubscribing.
@@lowcontrast Hoovie is a very, uptight entitled guy. JR is definitely a lower class human to Hoovie. Well at least in Tyler's eyes. The personality Tyler puts on for these videos is very acted. I've wondered why they quit making videos together as much as they used to, but I should've known. The way Tyler acted in this video was very derogatory and off putting. Went from fun little car jokes to actual elitism.
Yeah there was a few things this guy said he obviously doesn't know the difference from his asshole to the hole in the ground. And the 6.7 might not be as reliable as the 7.3 but it's not far off.
AMarqzM nope my mom had 2 wind stars that both had engine failure as well as a Taurus that blew the transmission at 90k miles. She said she will never buy a Ford again
My parents had a 2002 with the V10. They bought it right when gas prices soared. Oops. I learned how to drive in that monster. Unfortunately we were plagued with the spark plugs blowing out because of the defective heads. It did make it to 178k miles before my parents scrapped it. Shame as the body was in great shape considering we live in the Northeast.
The 6.0 is great once bulletproofed with head studs and EGR removal and then a nice tune makes it a beast. The bottom ends are quite stout 👍 I’ve had a ‘04 F350 and it has been awfully reliable. Lariat with leather and all the power features here but massaging seats and silly power step and 360degree nannie cam for a mere $48,000 in 2004 and it’s still worth half that because it’s cared for and clean and without a gazillion miles on it..
Ha looking at the excursion from the dash back, it looks like a freaking limo or bus! Anyone remember those 90s dodge ram vans that were extended and I think they were 15 passenger. LOL
I'm still waiting for Hoovie to just straight up buy an old army tank or maybe an M2/M3 Bradley IFV. They're great to convert into an ultimate man cave.
@@Atombender they have been behind the Cummins since the early days and may still be (was 3 years ago). Back in the day it was NV4500 which regularly lasted the life of the body of the truck at least.
My 2001 7.3 diesel Excursion is the best all around vehicle I've ever owned, and I'm 71 and have had lots of cars and trucks. It just keeps running. Total reliability and with a chip on safe tow, about 23 mpg on the highway, without a load.
If raise the Excursion, you cannot get it in the garage. Now that you have this beautiful Excursion be sure to install an oil bypass filter, you will be amazed at how clean your oil will be. Installed mine 15 years ago, change the oil regularly and when I check the oil the, we can still see the dipstick through the oil. Just Keeps the oil cleaner. 11-9-21. 👍👍👍.
I worked in engineering on the 7.3 when the govt announced the coming emissions standards for diesels. We were able to meet the requirements using something called "Ultra Low Sulfer" diesel. Maybe it isn't available now or maybe standards have gotten even tighter. Just wondering why they haven't come out with something better.
Yeah really makes no sense let's burn more fuel and add shit to it out of plastic jugs just to get rid of nox emissions it's retarded but the epa isn't known for intelligence
The only saving factor of the 6.0 is that your can solve it's problems. And get a reliable engine out of it. The only way you solve a 6.4s problem is with a "For Sale" sign.
He comes from money, he still does some executive work for his parents business and UA-cam, hoovey is a hard worker and very smart he just plays this dumb character on UA-cam
I drive a 2000 Ford Excursion XLT in gold, the wax I like to use for it mothers California gold really makes the gold on my truck shinny, reflective and protected.
From what I understand the consensus is the 6.7s are fairly reliable, even the emissions systems work decently compared to previous models. Its no 7.3 of course, but much much better than the 6.0 and 6.4.
Have a Triton V10 Excursion with almost 400k miles. Same engine, same transmission and best car we have ever owned. Bought it with 27,000 second owner. I really hope they are really bring back the Excursion......
I’ve had my ‘97 E350 7.3 van for 2+ years, bought it for $1,800. I’ve put considerably more in for repairs, but none engine related! At 350,600 miles, the engine is rock solid. And it hasn’t had a proper oil change the entire time I’ve had it. But that is on the agenda!
Man I drive a 2019 power stroke it has 110,000 + miles and has over 5200 engine hours the front end is still tight trans shifts good and has held up very well been super impressed with the 6.7
That is notable about the front end. A 4x4 7.3 usually wears the ball joints and everything else on the front end out in the 1st 75k. Ask me how I know....
Agreed. At 400k miles is shifting hard on colder days, but honestly I'm impressed it's made it this far. I've never had a Ford with an automatic last this long. Changed my mind on powerstrokes 👍. Will for sure get another one.
I have a 2000 f250 super duty with the 7.3 on a manual transmission. The truck is self is worn out but the engine won't die. 350,000 miles and can't kill it.
Modern ford's aren't junk lol. The 6.7 is still extremely reliable, and most of ford's products now, with the exception of the focus and Fiesta dcts are pretty rock solid.
Try upgrading the 7.3 to the 475hp and 1000+ torques or whateva they're putting out now and see how poorly it holds up, oh and replace the trans while youre at it as it'll blow in a few thousand miles. When you consider how much more capable these new trucks are, quite, cleaner (supposedly), add the aluminum body and all the new available features and the refinement (better ride and handling for example) the reliability is pretty damn solid. The prices when you take all that into consideration along with inflation arent as bad as people make it seem either.
@@shanet7511 That's what I'm saying, glad to see someone else who has common sense. Modern cars are expensive, but that's because they're just better. More powerful, reliable, safe, efficient and advanced to name a few improvements. The only real downside with modern cars is they're harder to repair, but they break way less so it'd a trade off I'm willing to accept.
@@shanet7511 The 6.7 is an absolute beast, that, the 3.5 ecoboost and 3.5 duratec, 5.0, 5.2 and 2.7 are all great engines. The duratec 3.5 v6 in my Explorer is regarded as an extremely reliable engine, aside from some water pump issues that mostly impacted older versions of the engine so my 2017 should be fine.
If we are being honest most modern cars last a long time with basic repairs. My neighbor has a Dodge Caravan from 2010 and has 270K on it and everyone shits on dodge for bad engines and transmissions. And my Chrysler 200 is on 130K with no major problems so far. Worst thing is the interior quality but other than that it runs great.
@@JRRepair That doesn't make him correct. I deal with customers who manage 100+ vehicle fleets every day, some of them approve hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs every year. Half of them couldn't tell you the difference between a turbocharger and an alternator.
My dad's '03 F30 has the 7.3l turbo. After 340K miles, it still starts and runs like it did the day it left the factory. Had to buy new batteries 4 years ago.
snsproduc it’s somewhat worth it. The diesel variants of these cars are crazy nice. I’d pay 10-12.5k. There was an accident on file and slight rust. It’s a great car in pretty good shape, I just can’t justify spending 15 on this one, especially as a college student. I live in the south and 15 can get me a pretty similar excursion but with some upgrades.
Bryson Kuhn agreed. My friend literally just bought an 05, has the 6.0 but was bulletproofed by literally the best diesel shop in the owners state with good parts, on 37s with an 8inch lift, gun safe, sound system/head unit, etc. only 100k miles. That was around 25 but worth every penny imo. Badass truck, black on black.
We have a 2016 6.7 in a bus with 350,000 miles. The biggest issues we've had; 2 turbos have went bad. One at 200k, then at 275k Had to reseal vacuum pump (bolts get loose on it) and oil filter housing. Thermostats started to break apart and stick open around 320k Accessory pulleys, main water pump, and tensioner done around 250k 2 constant codes, Bank 1 lean, SCR conversion effeciency Transmission still going great, and overall not bad reliability other than the turbos going a little earlier than normal.
both are junk but ford is on another level. at least here in brazil. the only half-decent thing they have is the ranger, and maybe the fusion, but i wouldn't ever buy one precisely because it's a fucking ford. can't deal with ford's bs. worst car company ever. right up there with fiat
Big emblem is for the adaptive Radar Cruise Control, that’s why you see the big plastiglass Toyota, Lexus, Honda, etc emblems, there’s a lil radar behind there
My old 7.3 is close to 300k. It's pulled a fifth wheel to every state in the US and all of Canada, hauled metal, block and lumber. The doors don't close right, the paints coming off and the leather seats are all cracked but she still runs like a top.
@@HooviesGarage lmaooooo hells yeah I do!!!! 6.0 wasn't a bad motor it was engineered poorly and made with faulty parts from international. Ford had a battle with international and they gave them a hurried put together 6.4 Ford sued because international quit honoring warranty claims so ford designed their own diesel and its a power house. Also just a fact for preponderance. Mines and highway depth run ford. Hundreds of fords per mine, hundreds for highway depts. Its not because fords are cheaper to buy but because even the bean counters(really they control all) even know thay fords are cheaper to run and maintain than the others. Even when a mine does buy a couple of chevy or dodges they don't last long.
the 05 and a half and up 6.0 has over 200 improvements over the 03. I think it is the most cost effective way to get into diesel right now and not have a complete dinosaur.
@@DirtyAnimal agreed. The 6oh is a great engine if you spend the money to bullet proof it and thats effectively what they tried, but they were still plagued with FICM problems and such. 6fours were great till they torch the pistons like Swiss cheese.
I had a dpf go on on a Ford. It caused so many other problems, it spent weeks in the garage and a huge bill. Sold it and bought a petrol Honda. Life is now good 👍never again

The new 6.7s are the most reliable trucks on the market now. Hard to compare the old trucks to the new ones, due to regulations all companies had to re-engineer everything
To be honest the 7.3 is more affordable when they are perfect 1999 F-350 XL I could get for under $30,000 a new 6.7 upwards of $77,000 new and a used one with a much lower price is rare
I had a 97 F350 CrewCab Dually 7.3 w/5-speed. 580,000 miles on it.
-It had high performance turbo, injectors, oil pump, fuel system, clutch, and all supporting modifications.
I daily drove that truck for 3 years, towed with it, and put 93k on it.
During its lifetime, I don't think I ever saw it get below 16 MPG with an avg of 18-21 MPG. All fuel stops, mileage, and receipts recorded.
An exception would be when I towed a mobile home and left it running overnight in the winter to sleep with heat. That trip was 10~ MPG.
It leaked some oil.
The only thing that broke was a fuse due to a fuel bowl heater short.
That's it.
Tell me a 7.3 with power can't be reliable. I'll wait.

Just wanted to point out a small mistake, not ragging on you just wanted to let you know. The 6.7 is not a twin turbo engine from the factory. It is a Single VGT turbo in the valley. The 6.4 was a compound turbo engine. The early 6.7 engines had a twin scroll turbocharger where it had 2 inlets for the compressor housing and the compressor wheel was 2 sided. It was a very interesting setup.
I would take the 7.3 Liter every day and twice on Sunday over anything newer. And I LOVE the sound of the old 7.3s! Simple, reliable, rock solid. Gimme.
so the obvious answer is put the 7.3 into the newer f-250 ;)

I went to buy new engine 6.0 diesel but dealer told me the new 6.0 engine had issues and they extended the 7.3 due to the 6.0 engine issues. Purchased 7.3 and who new right? No engine issues ever but the truck eats tires 3rd set. I bought @ $7600 off sticker. Still have all docs too. My new Nextdoor came over and looked at my truck and he got so excited I thought he was going to faint and he told me to name my price and I told him no because I promised the truck to my son in law!

The 6.4L was a "twin turbo" diesel 2008-2010. My folks had one. It didn't have any problems but was traded in on a 6.7L before it could. The 6.0 they had before the 6.4 blew up on the guy that bought it after it was traded in. Lasted a week and head gasket went. They are on their 2nd 6.7L now with zero issues with them.

My parents had a 2002 with the V10. They bought it right when gas prices soared. Oops. I learned how to drive in that monster. Unfortunately we were plagued with the spark plugs blowing out because of the defective heads. It did make it to 178k miles before my parents scrapped it. Shame as the body was in great shape considering we live in the Northeast.
I put 200,000 miles on a a V10 Excursion with no mechanical issues except for one blown spark plug thread at 100,000 miles. Very reliable
The 6.0 is great once bulletproofed with head studs and EGR removal and then a nice tune makes it a beast. The bottom ends are quite stout 👍 I’ve had a ‘04 F350 and it has been awfully reliable. Lariat with leather and all the power features here but massaging seats and silly power step and 360degree nannie cam for a mere $48,000 in 2004 and it’s still worth half that because it’s cared for and clean and without a gazillion miles on it..

If raise the Excursion, you cannot get it in the garage. Now that you have this beautiful Excursion be sure to install an oil bypass filter, you will be amazed at how clean your oil will be. Installed mine 15 years ago, change the oil regularly and when I check the oil the, we can still see the dipstick through the oil. Just Keeps the oil cleaner. 11-9-21. 👍👍👍.
The issues with the modern 6.7 powerstroke also apply to every modern diesel, the emissions shit is a headache and ruins fuel economy
I worked in engineering on the 7.3 when the govt announced the coming emissions standards for diesels. We were able to meet the requirements using something called "Ultra Low Sulfer" diesel. Maybe it isn't available now or maybe standards have gotten even tighter. Just wondering why they haven't come out with something better.
Exactly! The 6.7 is the best motor ever made, if you delete it you will never have a problem again! #FordForce
Yeah really makes no sense let's burn more fuel and add shit to it out of plastic jugs just to get rid of nox emissions it's retarded but the epa isn't known for intelligence
“So what’s so special about the 6.7?”
“Well, it’s not a 6.0 or 6.4...” lol
The only saving factor of the 6.0 is that your can solve it's problems. And get a reliable engine out of it. The only way you solve a 6.4s problem is with a "For Sale" sign.

did i just watch an episode of "friends in trucks getting coffee"?
Seems like Seinfeld should've drove up too.
From what I understand the consensus is the 6.7s are fairly reliable, even the emissions systems work decently compared to previous models. Its no 7.3 of course, but much much better than the 6.0 and 6.4.
I have one that’s right at around 100,000 miles and there’s been absolutely nothing wrong with it. You have to give it a chance
not bad, but for a diesel, thats not even broke in.
The plastic kid cars could hit 100,000 miles lmao!
Have a Triton V10 Excursion with almost 400k miles. Same engine, same transmission and best car we have ever owned. Bought it with 27,000 second owner. I really hope they are really bring back the Excursion......
I’ve had my ‘97 E350 7.3 van for 2+ years, bought it for $1,800. I’ve put considerably more in for repairs, but none engine related! At 350,600 miles, the engine is rock solid. And it hasn’t had a proper oil change the entire time I’ve had it. But that is on the agenda!
Noooo not the Excursion! Such a beast!
Man I drive a 2019 power stroke it has 110,000 + miles and has over 5200 engine hours the front end is still tight trans shifts good and has held up very well been super impressed with the 6.7
From what I’ve seen the 6.7 is a very good engine. Unfortunately some people just like to hate. Enjoy your truck!
Michael Christopher it’s actually a company truck lol I do like it though
That is notable about the front end. A 4x4 7.3 usually wears the ball joints and everything else on the front end out in the 1st 75k. Ask me how I know....
The new transmissions with the 6.7's are so much better than the 7.3s though.
Agreed. At 400k miles is shifting hard on colder days, but honestly I'm impressed it's made it this far. I've never had a Ford with an automatic last this long. Changed my mind on powerstrokes 👍. Will for sure get another one.
I have a 2000 f250 super duty with the 7.3 on a manual transmission. The truck is self is worn out but the engine won't die. 350,000 miles and can't kill it.

Hoovie and his friend talking about not wanting to be the guy in a big truck that holds everyone up while merging.
Me: *Laughs in truck driver*
Modern ford's aren't junk lol. The 6.7 is still extremely reliable, and most of ford's products now, with the exception of the focus and Fiesta dcts are pretty rock solid.
Try upgrading the 7.3 to the 475hp and 1000+ torques or whateva they're putting out now and see how poorly it holds up, oh and replace the trans while youre at it as it'll blow in a few thousand miles.
When you consider how much more capable these new trucks are, quite, cleaner (supposedly), add the aluminum body and all the new available features and the refinement (better ride and handling for example) the reliability is pretty damn solid. The prices when you take all that into consideration along with inflation arent as bad as people make it seem either.
@@shanet7511 That's what I'm saying, glad to see someone else who has common sense. Modern cars are expensive, but that's because they're just better. More powerful, reliable, safe, efficient and advanced to name a few improvements. The only real downside with modern cars is they're harder to repair, but they break way less so it'd a trade off I'm willing to accept.
@@shanet7511 The 6.7 is an absolute beast, that, the 3.5 ecoboost and 3.5 duratec, 5.0, 5.2 and 2.7 are all great engines. The duratec 3.5 v6 in my Explorer is regarded as an extremely reliable engine, aside from some water pump issues that mostly impacted older versions of the engine so my 2017 should be fine.
If we are being honest most modern cars last a long time with basic repairs. My neighbor has a Dodge Caravan from 2010 and has 270K on it and everyone shits on dodge for bad engines and transmissions. And my Chrysler 200 is on 130K with no major problems so far.

That was around 25 but worth every penny imo. Badass truck, black on black.
We have a 2016 6.7 in a bus with 350,000 miles. The biggest issues we've had;
2 turbos have went bad. One at 200k, then at 275k
Had to reseal vacuum pump (bolts get loose on it) and oil filter housing.
Thermostats started to break apart and stick open around 320k
Accessory pulleys, main water pump, and tensioner done around 250k
2 constant codes, Bank 1 lean, SCR conversion effeciency
Transmission still going great, and overall not bad reliability other than the turbos going a little earlier than normal.

For the record the 6.7 Powerstroke is a single vgt turbo, not a twin turbo like the ecoboost. Just figured I'd point that out

Also just a fact for preponderance. Mines and highway depth run ford. Hundreds of fords per mine, hundreds for highway depts. Its not because fords are cheaper to buy but because even the bean counters(really they control all) even know thay fords are cheaper to run and maintain than the others. Even when a mine does buy a couple of chevy or dodges they don't last long.
