Re: Whats your mileage on your 7.3 ? and with what repairs???
2002 model with 17k and have not replaced anything yet. Keep it in 6th gear and under 2000 rpms and it gets around 20 mpg highway. Towing 12k it will get maybe 12-13 mpg.
Re: Whats your mileage on your 7.3 ? and with what repairs???
215K on truck as of today.
BTS trans at 120K
Water Pump at 135K
IPR at 140K
Upgraded brakes see signature at 115K
Dinatrack conversion at 140K
My dad has a 95 with 650K miles with just the normal stuff replaced.

Re: Whats your mileage on your 7.3 ? and with what repairs???
93,000 now, but at 73,000 the old owner had
all brakes done, new pads & rotors resurfaced.
End link assembly. connecting rod, drag link pitman arm?
multiple oil leaks---they mention EBP actuator and turbo stand
Inner cooler hoses leaking -replace hoses and clamps
Ignition key/lock cylinder
New hubs, bearings etc. Old owner had big wide tires that tweaked the front tend and wore out the bearings and did other damage. About $2,500
At 89,000 Starter. Drive gear fell off/dropped into pan-no damage!
At 89,500 Water pump. Original hoses and belt were still good but I replaced them.
Passenger seat heater is going out.
THREE CPS failures---new grey one in now.
All door lock motors replaced and now bad again.
Still have original batteries, Tranny works fine (knock on wood) exhaust system looks new but is original
Get 20-21 mpg at steady 57 to 60 with DP on 80 econo

Mine didn't work when I bought my truck, tried this fix and sure enough both work now. And it's a free fix! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]
