1999 powerstroke
 

hey im looking at a 1999 f250 power stroke never owend a diesel it has the 6 speed trany and the 7.3 powerstroke its got 220,000 miles on it and the seals and turbo were just replaced i was wodering if it was a good truck and wht are the most usual probloms

Alot of the "usual problems" depends on the build date

I asked this same question and really didn't get a answer. So the only two things I can think is they have no problems or no one knows what they are. The second I doubt the first possibly. I am a chevy guy and I am looking at 7.3 Power Strokes and in they end you can't not look at the numbers. The 7.3 out sold all other diesel's the years they where built. That might not be the end all of it but something you need to consider.

thanks im just trying to find some stuff out bout them evry one ive talked to said they were the best engine ford ever came out with

The 7.3 is an absolute monster. They pull like freight trains and they last forever. There is a reason they came in busses and larger apps. I had a '99 f250, 7.3, 6spd, 2x4, long bed ext cab. I got about 20mpg city, 18mpg city when railing it non stop. My 7.3 with a tymar intake, straight pipe, and plugged wastegate would keep up with my buddies '06 or '07 duramax on the top end. He'd brake-boost and smoke the shit outta me off the line though.

Had like 150k on mine when sold. Was an awesome awesome truck. I should have kept it.
