I'm looking into getting a diesel truck and i really like the 7.3. I have found this1999 7.3 for $11,000 and its really nice and clean. It has 223k miles on it so i hear thats just breaking the motor in on a 7.3. At the same place their is a 2005 6.0 and it has 187k miles on it. Its really clean too but i hear they arent good. I won't be pulling alot just a daily driver. Which should i get and are those alot of miles?
Not if its been taken care of.
Yep it's trash
That's not bad for a 7.3.
Is it the early 99 7.3? If so, it will be comparably different to the later 99 models. It's best to look into that because some components on the 99.5-2003 7.3 models will not work on the early 99 models. Things like the injetor driver modules, turbochargers (with plumbing) are smaller, and the injectors themselves are a different animal than what's in the later 99 and up models. Plus, on the early 99 models, the automatic transmission models had under-par torque converters that were prone to failure, but getting that upgraded isn't so bad. Other than that, they are incredible engines and are said to last around a million miles without any major repairs needed and with proper TLC. Although at some point, you will have to change the seals in the oil cooler and on the turbo pedestal, but that's not a big deal.
- What is a better option Cummins or Powerstroke? So my dad and i are buying me a diesel truck and we're both a ford lover but i also love the dodge Cummins. Which would be better to own. Both are not brand new there both used and both have a good history and both only have 150k on them. What would be the better choice? The 7.3L Turbo diesel 1997 ford powerstroke or the 2002 Dodge 5.9L cummins.
- Which car is the overall to keep for a couple of yrs? 1999 Nissan maxima, 1999 Altima, 2006 ford Taurus or 2002 buick lesabre? All of them have low mileage as the Taurus have 69000 and the maxima have the highest of 123000. They all under 1100 bucks.
- I have a 61 plate Ford Focus mk3 and I've noticed there's a hell of alot of water in the boot where the spare wheel is kept? The rear passenger side floor is also soaking wet so I don't know if these are connected or not. Hopefully someone's has experienced this before and can give me a clue to what it is.
- I have a 1998 ford expedition with a 5.4l engine. It hesitates alot? It will rev up but has no power and knocks alot. It feels like it want to go but it won't. The muffler gurgles. What can it be. I changed the sparkplugs yesterday and its worse.
