rageinthesage Report post Posted July 13, 2016 Who the heck buys a pickup like this for gas mileage anyway?... Geezus I wish I could buy this truck, it won't last long. Oh, and at 265k this motor is just barely broke in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8OWHUNT247 Report post Posted July 13, 2016 Nice truck!!! Shouldn't last long! LoL.. The old "barely broke in" line.. Yes. That motor (one of my favorites) will last A LOT longer.. Its the rest of the truck that is IMO more than broke in after 20 years.. Rubber and plastic does not do well in this heat. All that said, this truck is worth every penny he's asking. He will get it all day on craigslist. Heck, if I had the extra funds, I would buy it for my son right now.Tell him to throw it up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Explorer Report post Posted July 13, 2016 Nice truck. My favorite Ford body style besides the 70's. Won't be selling my 92 bronco until it is scrap metal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted July 14, 2016 Very clean truck! Sometimes I wish they kept that 7.3 around for longer than they did! Ford put all their eggs in one basket with the 6.0, and that didn't work out so well but the 7.3 option ended in 2003 here but was still be produced down under for 2004, maybe later. I have 278K on mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 278K on mine. You can thank the guberment for the demise of the 7.3. The big engine couldn't meet tightening emissions guidelines so Navistar trimmed off about 80 cubic inches a few injector changes and gave you the 6.0. Ironic thing is, you get better mileage with the 7.3. My 6.0 never got better than 16.5mpg on the Hiway. But at 290K miles and a tough life, were still plowing along. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
