I laughed when you said you were going to daily drive thar truck until it craps out......prepare for a long haul my friend. That truck will be going while you qualify for Social Security

I have one 7.3 year 2000 with 350K miles the reason i keep it is reliability and I can do the maintenance by myself like old days.

It cost me $220 to fill my one in Australia and cost $7,000 for my wheels and tire . My one is the only crew cab 6 speed stick and I love it. Every mod on engine KC 300x ebpv delete up pipes bigger injectors and has never let me down. I recommend the .84 turbo housing for tht manual.

Nice ride and info on the handeling and maintenance. I agree it's important to keep up with the basic service that you do yourself like I do too. Just got a battery and did an oil change. Had to get it done before the cold winter got here. Your truck looks awesome. The Dodge powerwagon shortbed we had with the 360 engine had alot of play in the steering when driving it too. Great video bro!

I used to daily drive a lifted 7.3 on 35s with a 4 inch lift. I’m from SA too, but it got stolen, now I have a 2012 5.3 Silverado, it sits on 32s with a 3 inch level kit. I want another 7.3 it has better mpg than my Silverado gets and it had bigger tires, I had a turbo and a tune for that 7.3 too so it was also a good bit quicker and could pull a hell of a lot better. I miss that thing. I want to go back to having a diesel you just can’t compare when it comes to towing.

If you wanted a lift on the front end I got 2 2 inch by I want to say 6 inch solid steel blocks and I shoved it between the leafspring and the axle to give it the front and left because I put heavier springs in the rear. and with the blocks you’re going to have to drill a hole and thread it put a bolt in it with some Loctite to keep it in there because there are little studs either on the leafspring of the axle that have to lock together so that you don’t need the extra leaf spring! And as far as the steering and the starter get a redhead steering gear box and a high output starter. It really improves the ride quality.

Lets get this dude to 500k subs

Look up redhead steering box for your slop issue, I have 1 in my 2000 superduty and Im very pleased

Steering gear box issue is an easy fix. Could also be track bar bushings. After i replaced mine wheel is tight and responsive.

I have a saweet Ford F-350 with the V-10 Triton. It had a huge lift and huge tires too. I love driving that thing. But my daily driver is my Kia Sportage. I just don’t like wasting the gas, or the money for the gas.

Chicago here Winter is Brutal batteries are 4 years old no problem

My ac delcos lasted me 13 years and stated my engine in -40f without a problem I would get some they are tanks

It’s terrible especially on 37s 😭 but my baby needs to be fed ❤️❤️😭😭

I live in northern va and on the verge of buying a 2001 7.3 with 250k miles for 15k, is that a good deal? No leaks everything is nice, smooth ride. Please lmk oh and it’s a lariat dually

Love the content my man and I’ve seen you drive around I believe the 1604/helotes area (I could be wrong) but I have a lot of similar issues when it comes to my 6.0 especially the steering wheel slop haha.

How is it on the highway?

Found me a 2002 7.3 247,000 miles in Odessa gonna drive here from Sa to check it out wish me luck

How much you spend total for diesel a month?

Change out your knuckles ala spindles in the front and new tie rod ends and b perfect steering don’t do one without the other

Don't have to replace your battery's that often yo you got other issues and I love Texas weather lived there for 3 years I'm from Michigan where it gets negative freezing temps for months I havnt changed my battery's in 7 years lol

6.49$ here in CA for a gallon is diesel, that’s 194.70 to fill up today July 2022

Definitely shouldn’t have to replace the battery’s every two years. May have other issues causing that. And I would definitely change oil filters every time you change the oil. Filters are only $15 bucks and will definitely help in the long run.

Looking to buy one for my first truck any tips I should know while looking and any idea how to tune more power without getting worse mileage

Just bought a '00 7.3 Lariat with 155k bro, love this fucking truck. Always wanted another 7.3

Its like freedom all i hear are eagles and hulk hogans theme song

Did u say 400k+ miles?

What's your mpg though how much do you fill up a week. I drive a 1500 ram with 37s and a 7in lift and have to fill up every week

Man. I would love to pay $3 per gallon for diesel. Where I live it's usually around $3.70 per gallon or so.

Just put thirty gallons in mine in Oregon and it cost $150

I’ve got one in the shed with new tires, never failed me, always runs, to expensive to drive, I have an ugly Honda ridgeline that also got as many miles as my daily driver, much cheaper

$80-$90 to fill?? My raptor costs me like $130 to fill

Cold hit an thrown 1500 bucks at mine🤦

Why’s my 7.3 only getting 4mpg

80$-90$ to fill fuck that's what it cost to fill my mazda 3

be like 220$ to fill in B.C.

I wouldn't recommend driving with your eyes closed. 😊

I can't believe you're bitching about the steering on a 400,000 plus mileage vehicle. Drive any other vehicle that has that many miles on it and you're going to find the same thing. As for being expensive to fill up - that is going to be expensive no matter what you diesel pickup you drive. As for parking and maneuverability, what are you comparing it to - a Honda Civic? Any big pickup is going to be like that. Your batteries should be lasting longer than 2 years - if anyone is changing them that often, they're either have a charging issue, doing something stupid like leaving the key on, or buying really cheap batteries. you complain that the ride is too rough, but then admit that you added a leaf to the front. That's your fault not the fault of the 7.3. If you're going to critique a 7.3 then critique the engine - if you're going to critique the whole truck then say so in the title. Very disappointed in the content of this video.

Let's do gas against diesel!!!!?
