Oh yeah. It’s been a struggle to find a truck that’s for sure. Actually just stumbled onto a f550, but need to drive 6hrs for lookRe: Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel truckWow!

Our soon to be ours 7.3 will also be getting an adventurer But the 910DB model, So it’s going to be a dually. With all the things you listed for maintenance that’s pretty much every long standing 7.3 owners check list for these trucks. I’m in Alberta, Canada so truck bodies don’t last around here either unless the previous owners took good care. Either way I’m looking forward to getting behind the wheel of one!Re: Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel truckAlright guys let’s keep it on topic! Anyone done a TC on a 7.3 with a flat deck ?Re: Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel truck NRALIFR wrote: But..........mine was over its GVWR by 2700 lbs so it should have exploded and wiped out an orphanage and a convent. :W :B :):) :)Re: Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel truck Kayteg1 wrote: ticki2 wrote: And almost none of it has anything to do with a truck camper So is about 90% of this forum replies. At least less trolling than usual and I'd say the topic was pretty constructive. I agree lol. Which tires does everyone run on your duallys or which would you recommend? The 7.3’s came with 16” inch rims is it worth the extra coin to jump up into a 18 or 20?Re: Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel truckYeah there’s some fishy info being thrown out in here... I appreciate all the good answers and info. Also don’t be shy post a pictures of your 7.3’s camp ready! And how heavy was your setup?Re: Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel truck mellow wrote: I hate the picture capabilities of this site. Here is mine: Dang!! Which model is that TC and what’s your camping weight?Re: Who’s still using a 7.3 diesel truckI should have typed that out better but yes the 99-03 7.3 powestroke! I have a been keeping my eye on a couple locally (northern Alberta) I think these trucks are starting to turn around in price if they’ve been Well kept! This truck is gunna be a dedicated tow pig as my daily is a f150. I love the older diesels as many have mentioned before the simplicity is great and parts are cheap compared to new. Don’t get me wrong I love the new ones but it’s not in the cards and I’d rather be able to get out there camping with and dogs this year! Of course with a minijet boat in tow lolWho’s still using a 7.3 diesel truckWho’s still using a 7.3 diesel for there TC? How long have you had it? What TC do you have?
