Re: Whats your mileage on your 7.3 ? and with what repairs???
With just over 100K miles... Oil down the back of the motor, ball joints,water pump,cps,steering stabilizer twice,shocks, tires,rusty oil pan (POR 15 Fix),clutch,squeaky front springs and batteries. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cry.gif[/img] I am also about to tear into the transmission that may have been damaged during the clutch replacement project. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img]
This is similar for too many PSD owners,and way more than any other Ford I have ever owned, including a Bronco and F250 I really rode hard and put away wet!
And yet, I still smile ! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
Mileage is approx. 25 mpg empty on highway and in the mid to high teens pulling the 5'r on the flat....

Re: Whats your mileage on your 7.3 ? and with what repairs???
I've got 82K on mine and it's been in the shop once at around 19K for the turbo pedestal o-ring leak. I just did brake pads and rotors about 2K ago. Other than that, no repairs, just normal maintenece...

Re: Whats your mileage on your 7.3 ? and with what repairs???
Just turned 54K on my 2002 7.3 CC SWB. Low mileage due to my retirement from a back injury. Truck just sits in the driveway for the last three years.
Repairs:
TSB/Recall:
1. 20K - Adjustable pedal assy replaced by Ford.
Under Warranty:
1. 24K - 6 CD Changer - eject stopped working
2. 24K - Front Driver & Passenger lower window seals - reseated
3. 24K - Trip Computer - little flip down doors broke
4. 32K - Left Rear Tailight assembly - short due to water penetration, seal torn.
5. 33K - Front axle shaft - needed to be removed and greased. Ford should have put a zerc on it!
No Warranty:
1. 42K - SteelTex tires replaced with BFG's - Ford Tech overpressurized right rear SteelTex, caused a blister in the sidewall. SteelTex's would have gone at least another 15K. Drew Ford pro-rated the tires for wear, and then tossed in one free tire cause of their mistake, and did all mounting/balancing for free. Oh, the price per tire was THEIR cost and they paid the taxes too!
2. 42K - E-Brake pedal release rubber bumper stop that mates to the Brake light switch. Took me a while to figure it out, but my Ford Tech kept helping til I got it. Thanks Drew Ford!
Needs Repair/Replacement:
1. Shocks
2. Steering Stablizer
3. Brake pads - rotors are still good to go.
Maintenance done:
fluids - oil every 3K, others as required by Ford (Tranny, Diff's, Coolant)
This truck has been awesome! Of course it has never been beaten and put away wet, and has only towed a handful of times. Biggest tow yet - Bobcat with 4 ton dump trailer. Oh yeah, and a broken down Chevy Duramax with trailer in tow!

Re: Whats your mileage on your 7.3 ? and with what repairs???
Well I'm at 625,000. Repairs- just about everything that is listed by others. Just saw a post from a hot-shot driver, showing 667,000 before engine died. My truck is still working for a living, and making money at it. Great truck to bad they don't mak'em like that anymore.
