My dad had a truck just like this it was four-wheel-drive. It was black, but he always towed a big gooseneck camper trailer he tow it from Ohio Cincinnati to Daytona speedway it always did it and always came back. We did also have a couple problems with the four-wheel-drive but I’d sure do miss my dad‘s old truck.
Hard to believe now, but when the 7.3 powerstroke was first introduced, it had a lot more get up and go than the old 7.3 IDI and the 6.9. My dad had a 6.9 f250, the local ford dealer got in a 7.3 powerstroke 5spd, we went and test drove it and were blown away by the power. He bought that truck, it was the only one in the area.
if your trans is acting funny at all get the PSOM module rebuilt and check the vss on the rear diff. Thought i blew mine up but turned out to be the PSOM needing rebuilt. crazy part about it is it shifted perfectly fine then out of nowhere it went nuts slamming into gears and dropping into neutral
I can assume itd go like this: 1. Buy it and drive it home and make a video. 2. Motor throws a rod, spins a bearing, develops a knock, oil starts growing from fuel or coolant, needs a front cover, cracks a piston/‘s, turbo failure, rocker arm tips break off, radiator starts leaking, one of those 3. Makes a video about why he sold his 6.4
You need to get a stock 6.4… do a delete and small tune and compare it to the 6.0. You will be impressed. And along as you do good maintenance it will be fine. I will definitely buy some merch to get you closer to being able to buying one!!!!
One of the best trucks in my lifetime to own. I drive it from Cypress to ETX all the time. You think that’s something. Wait until you upgrade it. I get 25 mpg since I’ve upgraded mines. 19-20 when hauling hay. And i get more head turning & stops in my 7.3 vs the 6.7
I have an e99 7.3 superduty. Thing tows amazing. I pull a 32 foot 5th wheel no problem up and down any mountain or road ever. It has 33 inch rough terrains, an ignorant mod from the previous owner.. hot cold air, and straight pipe. Keep good batteries in it and don't let the diesel gel and she'll start every. Single. Time. Mine pulls amazing
I took my 99 7.3 from Amarillo-dallas-college station-iola-new caney(picking up 30ft bumper pull trailer 7k lbs)-iola(back and forth to college station building something for my parents and spending time together)-back to Amarillo. Didn’t have any issues at all with my truck one bit and on my way back to the panhandle I think it was I calculated around 17-18mpg with certain things added to fuel plus mods done
I love my 7.3 when you get to upgrades stick 180/30 injectors and a kc stage 1 .84 A/R for a good daily driver / tow rig. If you want to play a little harder go with 205/30 injectors with a kc stage 2 that setup will put you close to 475hp with a fuel system intake and exhaust. Ive got the 180/30s stg1 kc and its a absolute blast to drive and tows like crazy. I originally had the stg3 turbo and 205/80s and it was hot and smokey and sucked at towing but pretty quick.
How bout you do a video if those other trucks ever make it to 300,000 something miles…None of you guys keep vehicles long enough or drive enough to do a fair comparison.
Three dollars for Diesel I just had a check when you updated this video and it said three minutes ago that’s insane. It’s almost 6 dollars here in California.😢
Also if you put a LED bulb in your third brake light, or let the incandescent bulb burn out your trans/converter will act broken and you’ll get a flashing dash light.
It's not a super duty 7.3 so hard to compare the 2 sometimes when your Explaining yah know being it's an obs and non intercooled. But still cool non the less . Wich you could gotten another super duty 7.3 ❤
I don’t know how in the world you found one In that good of shape for that price. In east Tx that’s a 12k minimum. I’ve been searching the world over and at the price they are all junk around here.
I have a 96 F250 ZF5, and a 1996 F350 Dually e40d. I’ve modified the shit out of the F250, and as a result I believe I have finally cracked a piston in it. If you want good quality headlights buy from Tony Rojo. He operates bajahidretrofits, and most of his business is 92-96 F series/ bronco. I have the Mled 2.0’s and they’re killer.
@@powerstrokecentral but 9 mpg? That’s outrageous I’ve only gotten 12 when I get lucky. I’ve never been crazy with the pedal when I try and calculate the mileage. And it’s like 8.7 or 9 all the time.
