    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.

    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.

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.

    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 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.

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!

    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.

    I’d take the 7.3 Excursion, he can keep that “Check Engine light”,”DPF”, and that “Complete sliding moon/sunroof” .. The Excursion is probably structurally stronger without that sun/moonroof

    • @livinanthrday
      @livinanthrday 4 роки тому +3

      The Excursion has a c-channel frame with about 60% steal mixed with other alloys to allow a better more flexible frame for easy driving the 6.7L has a 99% steel frame fully boxed. The new more advanced suspension allows for a smooth ride from a stiff frame. The 6.7L is structurally superior.

    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. 👍👍👍.
