I have recently become the proud owner of a 2002 7.3L Excursion that is pretty much stock. No mistakes from previous owners, and a mile from the lot it hit 100,000 miles Any-who... I am now on a quest to have a vehicle that will make it to 500,000 miles. I am looking to chip the truck, and am looking at the "Edge Products 15000 Evolution Programmer for Ford Powerstroke 7.3L", "Flowmaster 53073 70 Series Muffler - 3.00 Offset IN / 3.00 Offset OUT - Mild Sound", and "K&N 57-2530 Fuel Injection Performance Kit Gen2 Air Intake Kit". I'm buying the "Mobil 1 M1-601 Extended Performance Oil Filter", and "Pentius PFB59292 UltraFLOW Fuel Filter" from amazon at some spoking prices. Luckily that is not a permanent upgrade, so I'm curious if there are other suggestions. I'm not really looking for power as much as longevity and Fuel Economy. I have no lift, although I wouldn't mind lifting the front a few inches for clearance.

I'm here at the feet of the Masters, offering my undivided attention. I'd rather learn from the mistakes of others first.

I'm wrapping this truck with a Wounded Warrior print because I am part of, and support, the WWP. TO make sure I have a reliable vehicle when hauling my brethren to local events, I'll take all the advice I can to make the 7.3L pass the test.
