I just bought a 02 F350 crew 4x4 long bed with 158,000 with nice wheels and lifted up. No issues so far and no oil leaks. Really nice interior. Paid 19k for it.

just bought a 2000 f250 7.3 extended cab 4x4 short bed for $3,700 with 204,000 miles in maroon and its completley stock, no leaks runs great. has small dent on cab corner but for the price i couldnt beat it. its crazy the valley looked dry and the driveshaft is snug with zero rattle.

really good point with the front end conversion

Thank you so much for making this video. I'm in the market for an 01-03 F-350 dually 7.3. I have never owned a diesel truck so I greatly appreciate videos like this. I made note of everything you said and will 100% use it when looking at a truck. Thanks again!!

When checking coolant make sure it doesn't smell like diesel, injector leak

I bought a '95 7.3 with 276,000 for $8,250. I got the back story of it. the transmission went at 309,000 got it back. she's gorgeous, loud and all mine. do not regret it.

Thank you for making this video. I am new to diesels and currently looking at the 7.3. All these tips are super useful since I will have a budget around 15k and won't be getting a low mile one.

Took me 14 months to find mine! 2000 lariat dually, long bed, ex cab, 4x4, ZF6

I thought that was a good video. Pretty straight forward, no weird music, logically laid out and generally helpful. Your black truck is a knock out beauty! If someone has one like that, and they're selling, I'm buying.

Solid video - subbed - all the best brother

I’m looking at a e-350 ambulance great body 69k miles 7.3 diesel. Thanks for making this video…it helped.

Great video...just bought a 02 F350 dually 7.3 and love it so far. Subscribed for more content 👍

Just picked up a 95 f250 4x4 long bed with 199k for $2500. Thanks for the tips will watch more videos

Great Content. Thankyou!

Very helpful thank you sir

Amazing Video! Looking at a 7.3 later this week

I took a ping pong ball with me to check blowby on a 7.3 a week ago. Works alot better than the cap. I picked the truck up for 5000$ needs a new clutch and up pipes. 177554 miles she runs so good despite needing a new clutch and small uppipe leak. I've ordered 1500$ in parts and sensor I might need down the road. She's going to be a beast. I'm happy with it.

my 99 f250 7.3. 272k miles. I'm the 4th or 5th owner. sometimes when i start it there is a BRIEF period of white smoke but it goes away shortly thereafter. Also, when doing a cold start, the glow plugs take APPROXIMATELY 10-ish seconds to heat up and the "wait to start" goes away. Guess i should count next time.

Great video, I'm torn between a 7.3 powerstroke and a 6.7 cummins..leaning towards a 7.3. You offered up a bunch of useful info, you dir are a wealth of knowledge. I know who to hit up with any questions, haha. Cheers from Broward!

I bought my 7.3 for 3500 lifted 37s ,everything worked just needed tires... love it, bought it with 260k its got 280k now, it may be rusty but fuck it's mint

Just to add to 5:30 a Carfax report will only report to you an accident that was reported to an insurance company. So there are definitely some cases where a vehicle can be in some form of a crash and still have a clean Carfax. I would definitely recommend being careful if you don't really know how to look for frame damage.

Nice job on this video. Very informative for anyone looking to buy. I just bought a 7.3 Excursion for $4,000. Runs and drives great both in town and highway. Has 478,000 miles on it and feel good about it lasting even if I need to put some $$ into it.

Hey man, great video very informative. I'm actually just about to go look at a 2003 7.3 ex eddie with a new engine with 123000miles and the Trans was rebuilt within the last year . Here are some more specs Fully loaded 2003 Eddie Bauer with tan interior. Headgasket and injector sleeves just completed at Santech Diesel Performance. Engine replaced by Alpine Diesel August 2020 with a 7.3L Powerstroke. Lots of recent mechanical work done to save the headache. HPOP seals, turbo pedestal seals and oil cooler seals. Riffraff CPS, IPR and ICP all installed. Brand new in box Hydra tuner included but never installed. The body - 5” lift with new Bistein 5100’s all around with lifetime warranty (bought at 4wheel Parts), airbagged rear end, professionally paint matched bedliner on the roof (done by Line-X), new windshield. All lights, windows and electrical seem to work as they should. Also has factory roof rails. Cali Raised rims with 325/60R20 Hankook Dynapro’s. Also lots of parts included - additional 2 HPOP’s, stock injectors, gaskets, and others. Last owner was meticulous and I’ve got receipts for most of the work/parts. He'd asking 8,400 for it what do you think

Mechanic boi

I have a very strong Ford f250 7.3💪

I’m looking at a 99 f350 lariat w/217k miles. Truck is beautiful, no leaks, no rust, 2 owner, 4x4 but they are firm at 25k 🥴

good video

I got 2 ford trucks for sale. One is a 1999 f550 with a performance chip. The other is a 2001 f350 lariet which also has a deisel performance chip.

Also, beware of the phony dually trucks (people who added the wide rear fenders and extra wheels to a single rear wheel drive F350). If the wide rear fenders do not have the running lights or have the black out running lights it's phony dually. Or if the dually rear wheels do not line up with the fenders (wheels are too far in), it's a phony dually. The best way to identify a real dually is to look at the VIN. Mine is an 2002 F350 crew cab dually so it has W33 in the VIN numbers that let me know the body style is a DRW.

I have a 1999 ford f550 7.3L for sale. It has 79k miles. It has a western hauler look and it is custom. It has a hauling bed too. The cab is in fantastic condition.

Is it a bad sign having to wait almost a minute for a 2000 f250 7.3 to get it to start when already warm? Or even cold...if soo what will most likely be the the reason? Great videos and thank you for sharing all this valuable information.

An informative video, although, I have some "qutestions" (3:21 in the vid).

You forget to check the side of the motor block cause all diesels leaves residue, if the motor has clean streaks running down the side of the engine block its not good

How much did u pay for the dually ? In the market for one!

I'm looking at a 00 F250 XLT 7.3 with almost 325k for 8k. My budget is 8.5k with 1.5k spending on anything like parts that it "needs". Currently only needs a horn for inspection in '22. It's his daily driver and I've made sure to look underneath the hood and at the frame and body

white smoke can also be stiction which is not that bad.

No offense I half way agree with you about the front end conversion some people will just do it just to make it look better or if they had a clear truck and put a 05-07 front end on it to make it look better you know

I have a 2002 extended cab F-250 4wd. Are you looking for another?

I got a 1995 f250 with 350,000 miles that blows white smoke when I start it during this winter ran perfect this summer I just got it in may tho. Hopefully nothing is going out I know they don't like the cold I been trying to keep it plugged up it helps a lot.

Hey I’m 19 & getting ready to possibly buy my a diesel truck I got a job doing framing with my buddies and I’m looking at a 1999 ford 250 7.3 super duty it’s lifted about 8 inches or so could I email you the link or pictures of it or something and tell me if it’s worth it it has 160,000 miles and everything is in really good condition I think, 0 rust leather seats are in perfect condition they’re asking 19,000$ for it but what’s scary is it’s had 5 owners , I went to test drive it yesterday and they took my license then came back and said one of there guys accidentally took the key and he’ll be back monday which is 3 days from the day I went it was sorta suspicious I thought but accidents do happen if you have any more advice please share because I don’t have anyone I know who knows anything about diesel trucks thanks man and great video ! 👍👍

Nice vid lots of good info... But why do you have a daully that says it rwd on it that odd most daully are rwd (4wd) so it seems pointless to have that on there 🤷 just saying

I found a 2000 f250 crew cab standard bed 4x4 7.3. It is a one owner 163000 mile truck. they're asking 16.5 obo, what would you say a good price is?

That whole dually was oil soaked underneath.

Damn that blk truck is clean!!! Wanna sell it?

Just found a model I like but owner says it's down on power and could be a head gasket. Ugh really like it butvdont want to be hunting gremlins

I'm in Australia and really appreciate the ford 7.3 I plan on buying one but it's going to cost 60 grand

“Sir it’s two for 4.25 are u sure u only want 1?”

The front end thing couldn’t be farther from the truth a lot of people I know swap their front end bc they like the newer look

Great vid thanks man. I’m going to look at an 03, however seller said flexplate is bad so it won’t start. But only wants $3k with 190k miles. I’m concerned it’s something more than a flexplate.

i’m in the market for a 99-00 7.3 erery one of em in 300k miles around $8-9500 . i find em a lil high in price maybe cus tax season

So your cap did not blow off right? As in that motor has no blow by? I’m having a hard time trying to determine whether a cap rattles off or blows off lol, thank you!

If the white truck is a bitch to start, tell me this, are you starting it infrequently? If so watch your oil pressure gauge as you try to start it. If you see the pressure tick up and then it starts just a half a second later, that's a sign that the oil is draining out of the high pressure reservoir when your leaving it sit for days. It cranks and cranks without starting while the reservoir refills and then fires as soon as it's full.

You missed blue smoke which you're flatbed was blowing.. That truck is on its way out bro.. In about 10 20,000 miles.. Why didn't you let us hear the white truck crank?

The sweet spot is 98-2000 After that they used weaker lifters

I did thw front end conversion on my excursion just becsuse lmao

Wrong about the conversion. Ppl changes muffler, tires, tail lights, headlights, interior stuff, front end etc. Just because they want something different "personalized." Not because it needs it.

Hey i know this was posted a while back but I’m in need of some advice. I found a 7.3 350 manual really close to me and it’s pretty reasonable in today’s market. Was wondering if I sent you the link you could check it out for me and lmk what you think. Appreciate the vidoe brother

I got one 2001 with 122k miles for sale 18k

LMAO Just an FYI The wait to start light is not connected to the glow plugs in any way. It is a PCM controlled timed idiot light.15 seconds.

When you got to the transmission fluid I lost respect.

Monsterrr... eww

You have to rot your teeth out to buy a powerstroke?
