Next will be CAC boots and the Banks waste gate and some other odds and ends. I'm the second owner, having purchased her in '03 from a coworker with under 60K miles. She never complains, just keeps chugging along. Thanks for the videos.

I believe the 7.3 was changed because they were built to last they can only go so long without selling trucks. ofcorse these people care about there products but as a chess game perspective I honestly believe all these company know exactly what they're doing like the 6.0 there's absolutely zero reason to make a more horsepower engine but only have not even 4 head bolts to each piston
