Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel truck
Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel for there TC? How long have you had it? What TC do you have? What’s are some of the must haves to keep it chugging along happily with TC on top? Cheers

I don’t know where all of the noise is coming from for the 7.3 since I haven’t had one. When I had a 6.0, I added the factory hood insulation “liner” and starting running Rotella Synthethetic. The combination got rid of a lot of noise.
Btw, the Onan propane generator that many of us have also got quite a bit quieter when I changed the oil to synthetic.
YMMV.
I think the main noise on diesel is due to injection and spontanic combustion as the result.
On newer diesel the computer makes up to 5 smaller injections per single combustion, what brings the noise level to what gasoline engines have.
Also turbos get better, quieter ducting.
