Going to go check out a truck for my buddy tomorrow, he is in the market for a 7.3 and I honestly don't know much about them at all, I know 6.0's inside and out unfortunately.
Truck in question is a 2002 extended cab 4x4 auto 7.3 with 160,000 miles. They said it has new tires and a new exhaust on it, I believe they said it was "chipped", but I don't know what they're running on it until I get there. I believe DP and TS are the good ones for 7.3's correct? I haven't talked to the owner of the truck personally so I don't know what has or hasn't been replaced other than that. Obviously I will look for the generic truck items to see if it needs balljoints or brakes or anything of that sort, but what about the tranny and engine? How long does your typical 4R100 last? The owner said they used this to tow a horse trailer once in a while to Montana, so I'm guessing a lot of the miles came from that.
Anything I should be looking for guys? Thanks :ford:
