That sucks.

And more on the wacky wild weather front, they are forcasting for rain/snow mix tomorrow night on the Valley floor here (+/-350'). Snow level is 2000-4000 today, dropping to 1000-2000 over night.

Wow, lot of post's here only read the first page!

I've got two 7.3 Powerstrokes.

#1 1999 F250 x-cab 4x4 short bed xlt diesel/auto. 33 in BFG's 16x8 AR Atlas, Putco SS four piece grill insert, ATLAS SS running boards, ss mud guards and bumper poles, Lund visor, dual non restricted exhaust, Alpine cd deck, Infinity Ref. speakers, Alpine 12 disc, tranny cooler, Autometer triple pillar pod, Firestone air rides, Lo Rider fiberglass tonue cover and fiberglass topper, plus I'm sure I'm missed some things!

Bought truck when a year old with 40K miles now have 214K miles. Chipped from 60-83K miles when tranny failed. Front end work done at 150K miles for first time. Shorted wire near valve cover at 185K miles. Fuel heater element failure at 208K miles. Water pump at alternator replaced in the past year, plus a few little things here and there. Plows with a Western 8.5ft Pro Plow and pulls a multitude of trailers the largest being the dump trailer, fully loaded with truck close to 30,000 lbs. Average summer fuel mileage 15-18, winter 12-14, best 19.

#2 2000 Excursion 4x4 Limited diesel/auto. Mostly stock wife driven, bought with 104K miles now has 154K miles. Besides an alternator only have $200 into the motor to date. Summer mileage 16-18, winter 13-16, best 20 on three tank fulls.

Not sure what has been posted on the subject but a crew cab with a plow will void some warranty. 2001 had the mechanical diode issue, no recall has been made. 2002-2003.25 7.3's have powder coated rods like the 6.0. In 2002 a Dana 60 was put up front instead of the Dana 50 and better headlights.

I'll be looking for a dually this summer when the truck is finally paid off and will be looking for late 99's and 00's 7.3's only with hopefully a 6 spd.

 

-10 this morning, good thing both truck have remote start!!!

 

First page only? Hah. That was when we actually talked about PSDs on a daily basis. Now, it's 6-10 people (mostly guys, DQ comes in now and again and Karyn comes to gloat when she tows a PSD) who just yack about whatever.

Wow, almost 500 pages!!! Your right this is more like the "lounge" than a Ford Crew Cab w/7.3 diesel thread.

 

It's not a lounge, it's a fraternity:
