The 7.3 went away because they couldnt make an egr work on it.

Also, the 7.3 wouldn't meet the new stupid diesel emissions BS. Thank God I have a 7.3...It just turned 140K

They just didnt want to spend the cash to make it happen and look what they ended up with!

to what I was saying. They spent 2 years trying to get a 7.3 to run with an egr due to the epa requirments. I think its better they did away with it cuz it went down as a legend. Not some terd that they wrecked!

I just wish we could get the power out of them

You can, it just cost alot more $$$ with a 7.3 to power it up. A 6.0 is a cheaper to get the same power out of.

I wasna talkin about ford power I was talking about duramax/and cummins power 800hp+ I plan to have a 400+ powerstroke and with the same money my roomate has a 550hp dodge. but I dont see a powerstroke ever makin 1000hp

But on a side note you can still get a ford with a 7.3 in the land down under.

The OZ Superdutys are built in Brazil, and they stopped production of the 7.3.

i didn't search for 7.3s on ebay i just know this guy through purchasing my truck from him.....
here's a 99 2WD 450
if you don't need or want the trailer, i bet you could get a high price for the trailer, they don't depreciate much.....after selling the trailer you could be in this truck cheap!!!

he has at lest 2 other 7.3s on his lot maybe more if anyone is interested....
PM me if you want know how i got the best price from this wholesaler....

Any of you ford guys know where to get a oil pan for a 01 7.3 in a F550. Neighbor is looking for it and some new injecters. Thanx for the help.

The 7.3L was done away with because International Truck and Engine Corporation did away with it....Ford had no choice but to use the 6.0L engines.

Don't blame Ford, blame the engine manufacturer.
