I am running def delete, 5 exhaust ,6"tip, h&s black max tuner, meth alchohol injection,afe intake, pop off valve to relieve turbo and big dog 2 fuel system,lift pump. Truck is smokin hot with no issues,have a few thousand miles since mods.Have 22" American force classics on way with 35/50s and a pro comp lift. Next mod is 2nd turbo addition from performance injection coupled with hi flow pump,hope to be getting over 600 hp..

 

I wouldent have bought an 11. I dont know if Ill buy a ford after 03 if it dont got the 7.3 it aint worth owning.

 

Ranch hand, I felt the same way as you. I also own a 99 ext cab f350, just turned 250,000. I now use as a delivery truck for my hvac business. The 7.3 is one of the motors that will live in history, but I tell ya after exploring,investigating how they engineered this motor it is awesome! After making the truck sound like a diesel again and removing all the power killing,government required crap from the motor,it has performed for me head to head with 7.3 and hopefully will surpass my expectations. I love this motor and the truck,ford has hit a home run as far as I am concerned.

 

A 6.7 would run circles around a 7.3 any day of the week, no questions asked. Stock for Stock, there isn't anything better about a 7.3

 

Maybe one day Ill have to go play with one but I sure feel sorry for the guy that has to work on it. Hope it works good for you! my grandfather looking at one but we are shy of the new diesels out there with the dpf. Were espicially shy of ford since weve had our 6 oh no. God that thing just needs to die... haha.

 

i would be careful putting anything on those trucks. i have a 2012 f350 kingranch with the 6.7 in it and its pretty sick truck just stock. the only bad thing is the 5000 dollar exaust thats on the truck. i hope that this motor turns out to be like the 7.3. i still have my old 7.3 and its running stonger than ever.
