Talking Turned 300 Today

Leaving for work today in my 7.3 and looked down to see the dig display show 300000.2 miles this truck has been awsome since the day I bought it, just started leaking diesel yesterday so I'm gonna chase that down but other than that this truck has already paid for itself

Default Heck yeah

cool, on the fuel leak if its coming from up in the valley look at the weep hole on the pump. If not there look at the vac switch on the side of the regulator housing on the fuel filter housing.

No need till atleast 400,000. we were pulling them off the road for a local construction company and 400,000 and doing total overhauls and of the 5 we did 1 had 1 bad cyl. The rest still had all the cross hatching and ran pretty good.

thanks for the compliments guys and I'll have to check that weep hole for a leak, the truck looks absolutley like new, execpt for the tailgate, mother inlaw backed it into one of our almond tree's when I get tired of driving this one it'll retire as a ranch truck and my CTD will be my daily driver, for now it's my toy and my wife use's it for picking up stuff for her bar
