Ford 2001 platinum 7.3 diesel 4x4 with 290k Miles. I am thinking of selling it but not sure how much.

I have a 2011 F150 5.0 with 174,xxx miles on it. Im talking to someone about a trade for a 2002 F350 7.3 with 283,xxx miles. Everything checks out with his truck. Says he does all the maintenance on time and says the previous owner put $2-3k in maintenance each year.

This is everything he says is done to the truck “I had the transmission built (transgo shift kit, billet 3 disk converter, 6.0L trans cooler) at 190k. 205/30 injectors, Borg Warner S364.5SXE turbo, Hydra chip, gauges, RiffRaff FRX, and T500 HPOP done at 205k. Dyna matted the doors, floor, and roof, OEM 08-10 heated mirrors, 06 Dana 60 front end conversion done around 220k. Black 08 lariat seats installed last fall. Started to hook up the power & seat heaters, but ran out of good weather. Power works, heaters don't. Factory 20" wheels, 35" Cooper AT (75% or so). It's also got a B&W turn over ball in the bed.”

Checked the forums but figured I’d get y’all’s opinion. My 7.3 f350 (69,000) set off the p1211 low or high ICP pressure code. Once 5 days ago while climbing Loveland pass after downshifting. I checked it then cleared it and it didn’t come back immediately. Today up another grade at altitude after downshifting it went off again. Both instances I was around 2500 rpms after downshifting. I’ve read it can be set off by getting on the throttle a lot with a performance tune but mine is just stock. I am towing/hauling around 15k pounds of shit though. I’m about to cross into Canada on a drive to Alaska. Is this something I should be concerned about? Truck runs fine and doesnt have a long start. Never did it before picking up the trailer. Any input would be appreciated greatly

Those that have used these, do you prefer the older CTS2 over the newer CTS3 monitor? Also, is it worth it if you have the OBDLink MX+ already? I have the MX+ paired with FORScan app on my phone and can check codes easily and while driving have some of the various monitor screens on my phone. But looking to get the phone unpaired while driving. Would be nice to have more info like EGTs, boost, any other temps and pressures available than just the dashboard generic one. Also, does the CTS2/3 monitor allow you do to contribution tests? The MX+ only does the injector buzz tests as far as I can tell.

Trying to chase down tail pipe smoke. Can't tell the color. Could be worn turbo but wondering if it's actually this making it out the tailpipe. Low amount of smoke is constant but a bit more on partial throttle decel.

Heavier for a few seconds on startup. Wondering if that's the oil that's settled in the intake and turbo. I see plenty when I take off intake. New CDR by the way but can't rule out it being bad out of the box.

I am replacing the turbo pedestal with an non-EBPV pedestal and there are no mounting brackets for the heat shield that sits atop the turbo. I am sure they put it in the vans for a reason.. is there another way to address the heat without bending up a bracket to attach to the non-ebpv pedestal?

I've been looking for a 6.4 f450 with a manual transmission and can't find one anywhere. I know ford said they manufactured some all the way throughout 09 but I have failed to see them....

Hey guys, I have a 2001 f250 7.3. The guy I bought it from had some work done years ago, from what I know, it’s a different turbo, (not sure which one though) straight pipe cat delete, and a tune with a cts. He said most of the work was done at banks in riverside, CA. Trans has had work done with a larger pan and both diffs had work done as well. Truck is reliable but I feel like I could get more power out of it. When towing it is a slug. It’s the original cts and like 10+ year old tuning. What’s going to be better? Hydra? Newer cts3? Goals are a faster truck and more importantly, better power when towing. (35’ gearbox on a fifth wheel) Any advice is appreciated as I’m new to the diesel scene.

Hi everyone! New on this reddit. I wonder if anyone can direct me to find the lower broken mirror. I have no idea if this is what it came with from the factory but I don't know where to start looking since the e450 seems to have an unlimited number of variants! Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone I have a early 1999 F350 4x4 single rear wheels and I have a strange grinding noise while driving. I am a HD Diesel mechanic on 18 wheelers but I am stumped with this. When I got the truck there was a honing noise coming from the front driver side and found out that the brake rotors were damaged and also the wrong calipers have been installed. I shook down the front end and found that the ball joints were bad as well. I have replaced upper and lower ball joints, Brake calipers (Front only), rotors all the way around and brake pads all around as well, also new wheel bearings (front only), new front shocks, and lastly new front axel shaft seal. But there is still this weird grinding noise coming from the front driver side of the truck I am stumped it drives fine but needs a slight adjustment to the alignment but nothing to make it act funny. Also there are hub locks in it currently not sure if they should be in there w/o 4x4 active. when replacing the front ball joints I did notice that the front axel shafts were rusted but not the splines of the axel. That is what I am debating its on is the axel shaft but I just don't know. Plus the front leave springs are making a metal on metal noise when going over bumps. Need to replace those soon.

Ok so I have a 2013 F250 that I deleted last year. I have a 4” MBRP straight pipe from the turbo back. I’m looking into getting a muffler to try and get rid of some of the cab drone. Anyone have any recommendations or any success with mufflers? Straight piped sounds mean as hell and I love it but I’ve got kids and need to tone down the cab drone a bit. For anyone that has had success did you lose turbo whistle? I’m just trying to figure out what the best option would be. I’ve been looking at the MBRP quiet tone but there are not many good YouTube videos of it. Any help is greatly appreciated

My truck has done this since I’ve owned it, and I’m assuming it’s injector o-rings, but curious what you think.

When it’s almost time for an oil change (~5k miles) my 7.3 will stumble and weakly come to life when starting hot. It’s never failed to start, just sounds like it’s stumbling hard.

This problem immediately goes away with an oil change, it growls to life hot/cold no issues. As soon as the oil is at 5k and worn out, and thinned from being hot, the issue starts again.

There’s no oil in the coolant, no oil in the fuel bowl, and my truck is hardly smoky at all, so those things make me think maybe it’s not the injector o-rings.

It passes the buzz test just fine, but I’m guessing that has nothing to do with the o-rings. I was going to throw all new injectors in, but maybe I would be fine just doing the o-rings?

I have the foreskin app installed, what dataset should I check to look at the HPOP health?

To the best of my knowledge it has OG injectors at 305K miles. Any other ideas or input would be helpful!

EDIT: I always run 15W40, year round. When I ran 5W40 this issue popped up at 2.3k miles instead of 5k, so I went back 15W.

Have a 95 F250 with the E4OD the transmission is healthy but has developed a front seal leak. Figured since I’m dropping the transmission might as well throw in a beefier torque converter. Any brands or companies I should look at stay away from?

Don’t tow with the truck anymore and it’s stock, if anything might try pushing it to 350-400hp level pretty soon. Looking for anything in the 600-900$ price range.

A few years back when my buddies dad had his 6.0 powerstroke he had a shelf it in his truck. I recently got an 05 f550 for work and would like to put one in it but can't seem to find one. Any help locating where to get one would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

2015 f250 6.7L cel came on for this code and then my gas Millage started to be terrible, I now only get about 170 miles to a tank when it used to be closed to 270. Performed manual regeneration and it was not needed the filter is only at 8% capacity, I’ve been reading it could be tsb 20-2369 which is a software update for this issue or/and lots of people replace egt sensors specifically egt 14. Any insight would be helpful, just want my gas mileage back lol

I have a 03 5.4 f350 that I am looking to put a 7.3 into. I am going to pickup the motor, computers, intercooler, radiator, pipes, etc. Any suggestions on what else I might need to do this swap that I can grab off the truck. It was a wrecked truck that he is parting out and has everything with it. How difficult with the wiring be in it. I know it won’t be easy but I have the time. Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Curious what kind of realistic price a 2000 F250 extended cab goes for these days?

My friend has one with about 150k miles on it, southern truck with no rust and a ZF6 trans. It’s a 4x4 and he’s kept up on the maintenance pretty well. Overall pretty clean truck. He has a

Kbb has the price around 10k but he claims they’re selling for around 25k these days.

Thoughts?

Anybody know the part number for this piece that connects the heater hose to what I assume is the water pump? Are there any O rings I should know about too?

2013 F350, would like to find an adjustable height hitch to tow up to max of 14k. Any suggestions?

Also, what are my pintle options?

I'm getting a 20-25° difference between my ECT and EOT in my 6.0 powerstroke. Pulling about 14k lbs my ECT was about 170F and the EOT was about 190°. No blow by, no white exhaust smoke, and no oil in the coolant reservoir. Is the oil cooler maybe just clogged and not blown?

I have a 2023 f350 powerstroke. I bought the sinister diesel oil catch can to put on my truck. When I looked up the instructions on the sinister website they are super vague and at the top it says the instructions are for the 03-07 models. What I’m looking to see is if anyone has put this there truck and can show/tell me about how they hooked up the lines. Does the ccv come off or does it stay? Thank you in advance.

I had a 03 Ford ranger greatest truck ever. I had an 1997 7.3 I loved but the frame went. (My fault) but the truck had a lot of problems got some newer stuff like the bronco had tranny problems lemon laws it got a 2017 6.7 had to lemon law that now I got a 2019 7.3 gas job and it runs great… idk I like ford ford but their stuff seems risky.
