had my 7.3 to the dealer for Waste Gate actuator and heater fan stuck on defrost,,, $963.00 later runs like a champ. still cheaper than a new truck payment ok rant over!!
I wish mine was under $1k. Not a Ford but 05 Chevy 6.6l. Head Gasket went in February at 168k miles. Had the heads machined, new value guides, glow plugs, water pump, and ARP head studs. $3800 later and so far she's purring like a kitten. Really the only trouble in the 6 years of ownership.
