I’ve got an 02 7.3 as well, I’ve put 60k bought at 159k, and the only issues I’ve had are the passenger door pocket thing breaking and the heater core spraying (which to me is typical for Ford). Other than that, she’s been the best vehicle I’ve owned. I can’t say any other vehicle can limp with no lower coolant hose for 30 miles and not need a new motor and a tow truck

We’ve had 3 of them and every one has had 650,000 miles on them (Or more) the one we have now is just over 715,000 and it’s pulled big rigs, the first one we had had a minor Downpipe leak. But they also hold their value. The first one we bought we paid $9500 for it and when a f-750 rear ended me the insurance company paid off $12,500. A little known fact is that they have a steel pipe in the door. It saved me and my workers life in a jackknife with a gooseneck on the back. 15,000 lb load and the steel bars on the front punctured the door in three different places. The frame was bent and the truck still made it home (7.5 hours away) we just bulletproofed a 6.0 and it’s a dually (our first dually pick up)

I bought a 2001 F-250 XLT Crew Cab Short Bed four months ago and I have LOVED every single minute of it. Mpg is awful & turning radius is even worse, and it's STILL by far the best truck I have ever owned. At best I'm a novice weekend mechanic, but I have found the repairs/maintenance on the 7.3 to be surprisingly manageable. HPOP Cover/EBP Sensor Replaced Air Filter Replacement Fuel Filter Replacement Seafoam Injector Cleaner process HPOP side outfitting & o-ring replacement (was leaking oil, stopped leak, shop wanted almost 3gs to do repair) Something I have also found that can help a lot, tighten up the turbo boots!! The bolts that secure the hoses to and from the turbo. This isn't just the 7.3, but more the Superduty of this era in general but something that drives me F**KING BONKERS is the plastic clips they use to plug wires into harnesses. At least AT LEAST 60 percent of the plastic clips will break before they detach properly. It's rage inducing and the clips are EVERYWHERE inside and out.

7.3 (aka Navistar 444E) has the most durable long block on the market. It was designed for a savage duty cycle: either a commercial Class V or a school bus. Start-and-stop. Start-and-stop. All day long. Most commercial users get 800,000 miles out of them with good maintenance. Mine has 355,000 miles. I'm the original owner. I spec'd it out from the factory. I dodged some of the major problems. I use full synthetic oil and change it every two years or 40,000 miles. Lab analysis has never shown a trace of metal in the lube oil. I use non-aqueous coolant (Evans). No cavitation on the front cooling jacket. The engine did fail a water pump at 225,000 miles and I borescoped the jacket. Zero cavitation pitting.

@@scootertrash647 I think mine is pro comp replacement springs, 3 leafs instead of 2. My ball joints don’t last very long either haha. Only at 97k miles and gone through 3 sets. About to do the axle swap and will use all the highest quality parts and see how long that lasts. I lost my daily driver a while back and need the truck to be easier to whip around in parking lots, angry people are always annoyed that I need more room to turn 🙄. “tHeY dOn’T uNdErStAnD dO tHeY??” haha But hey if you have better luck then me that’s great, I have some property out in the desert but I usually only drive on the street so I guess it’s just the constant turning that stresses all the components. I tow trailers occasionally and they are pretty heavy but nothing over 13k haha

@@jensenleblanc ya I got a 8ft bed crew cab. I need the ocean to turn around lol. I did the adjustable track bar and drop down pitman arm and haven't had any ball joint issues. But they are known for it. I use Moog and had great luck. Others say different. Alot of little factors that affect the outcome. I've had good luck so I keep it the way it is. Would like a lift but if it ain't broke. Don't fuck with it lol

looking for a leveling kit for my 2000 powerstroke. What brand/ type did you use. my front springs are "progressive ". the springs are spread and 1 leaf attaches to the top and the other to the bottom of the shackles. Soo much body roll! my true love is my 1993 idi rest bucket that is geared so low with a bucket bench. all vinyl. great for living at the beach.
