mine has over 200k and still going strong, really not any problems that are big one, the CPS (Cam Position Sensor) and its a 30$ fix and just about all of them would have a new one in by this time

I have a 2002 F350 4x4 7.3 with 90,600 miles on the odometer. I really enjoy my truck, it runs great. I did a few mods over the years (MBRP Exhaust, AIS Intake, Pods) to name a few. Maintance is the key.

Sweet ride! As said. Maintain it. Looks like it hasn't been ragged out, should last you forever.
