i just got a 2000 ford f250 7.3 diesel and it has 300k miles on it and was wondering how much it would cost to rebuild it and were would be a good place to get it rebuilt in Nebraska?????

 

Does it need rebuilt? Whats leading you to think it needs it?

Really depends on what you want to do with it, but anywhere from $3500 to $12000 for a motor... More then that if you want to go all out.

 

well i want to chip it and put bigger injectors and i think it might be best to get it redone before i do all that

 

Do a compression check... More then likely if its not having any issues starting and little blowby its fine...

Compression check is cheaper then a rebuild...

ok thanks that helps its not really having any but do you think it be bad to chip it with that many miles on it

 

Nope. Get a good TS based Chip and have some fun.


Gauges first however!!!

 

what all should i gauge?

 

Exhaust temp, boost, and tranny temp if its an auto.

 

Exhaust temps (EGT's) are the most important to gauge... Boost is fun to watch sometimes and can help you figure out if you have a boost leak but not needed. If it's an automatic transmission, gauging the trans temp is also important...

 

is it a bad idea to chip it my self?
