i could of been, but it was also a manual and the guy lugged it and it sounded like a 7.3 with a ZF6

 

Well international still offers manuals, so that doesnt really mean much..

 

well next time i see that truck im gonna chase it down and talk to the guy and take a peek at the motor

 

All u have to do is go to the ups place and ask to go to the auto shop and ask the head mechanic it would save u time ....I no that the head mechanic at my old job would put a crate 7.3 in all the trucks that blow there motors that's how much he liked them and how easy to work on them and reliable

 

so maybe thats what this place did, i have seen plenty of older ups trucks with 7.3s but not a newer one

 

Its not a 7.3...

 

At work we do alot of repairs for UPS, SpeeDee, and FedEx, the newest truck with a 444 I've seen is 04, and up to 08 with a 466. After that it's one of the many variations of IH's MaxxForce, which depending on the exhaust it has, will sound like a 444/466.

 

A powerstroke sounds the way it does because a. its a v8, and b. it's heui injected. ANYTHING v8 and heui would sound similiar.

Thats right. And I'm willing to bet he's heard a maxxforce.
