Longest lasting 7.3L??
 

I would like to get some input on this, i've heard the average is 300,000k but i've heard stories of them going much further than that, i've even heard of a 7.3 going 600,000k!!

ive worked on a few with 300k+ and one with 400k

i know of one here in Iceland that has over 1.000.000km on it... but the frame and body is in poor shape... but that's just because of salty and misty conditions here...

i know a guy in my home town of Othello, WA who has a 97 with over 700,000 miles, bone stock at that.

There's a guy whose truck my mechanic buddy worked on who put 1.2mil on his. The guy was an expediter.

damn thats crazy, keep em comin':rocking:

not extaordinairy, but my boss has a 99 with just over 300,000

my 97 has 270k... runs like new.
just put in stage 1 injectors, new ipr,water pump on and on...

doesnt burn a drop of oil.

hope to make 600k plus on it

I know a guy with a 99 dodge dually, cummins with 550000 miles and still getting 22 mpg.:tu:
He delivers Travel Trailers.

umm do you realize that's not a 7.3?

I kno an old man that has a 94 with 500k on it Still runs like new just smokes a little

forget the 5.9l. Is it possible to punch a 6.7l cummins to 7.3l? :tttt:

the only boring i'd do on a 6.7 cummins would be a hole right in the side of the block. as i now wait for the dodge guys to see this and freak out. i've seen a couple 7.3's with mid 400k's and one with 888k

Bill Hewitt of PowerStrokeHelp.com Claims to have gone over 700,000 miles on one with regular maintenance and severe use.

I love cummins motors too, worked on em both alot. but It bugs me that people hate on the biggest production diesel engine to go into a pickup, #1 selling pickup to boot and the HEUI system may not make insane power, but its a reliable workhorse and highly underrated torque monster:rocking: long live the 7.3L powerstroke!!

:c::jump:Finally all i hear is cummins this cummins that i drive a 96 and it has 350k with a dp tuner and rebuilt turbo. having issues with it though. but still drives good.

LOVE that guy and the videos he makes. watch em all the time. believe you're talking about Spot the Shop Truck lol

maybe its bored out to 7.3 :humm: (highly unlikely and probably impossible lol)

il drink to that!

Exactly, amen to that :c:

my 97 has 292k and my buddys bone stock 99 hit 922k then lost rod bearing

Theres a article about a rv hauler in the latest diesel power mag whos got a 7.3 with 1.02 million miles! went through 10 sets of tires haha

I read that also, How do you get 100,000 miles on a set of tires. I burn off a set of tires every 25,000 miles. Hell I had 22.5 truck tires on my 06 and at 80,000 miles they were wore down to the wear bars on the tires.

The 7.3 was a perty good engine, decent power decent on fuel especially when not towing. HEUI while nothing like the common rail. was a state of the art fuel system in its day.

Synchronet.Inc has a 2000 F350 7.3L with 475,000
