Love the color and the wheels. A man proud of his truck and should be. Power and reliability always cost money.

Real beautiful truck, Mine is 1997 f350 Crew Cab, I'm the original owner, paid 29, 000 for it, told my wife that this is the last new truck I will ever buy. 188000 miles all Original. A Guy wanted to buy it the other day, I told him to talk to my wife....at my funeral 😂😂

Modifying a 7.3 is definitely expensive for the power you get out of it, but no new Diesel will put a smile on my face like an old 7.3 doing Mach 420 down the road

I just got a 95 f-350 dually for my 3 car carrier. Gotnit fom my friend that was doing same thing he gotnout of it and sold it to me. Its well taken cared and stock. Before by 06 Duramax LBZ gets rebuilt that Ford will be my primary work truck. Its my first Ford and learning a lot about those 7.3s.

Truck has come a long ways! Looking forward to helping out more this year!

Love my 200, 000 mile 1997 F350 Crew Cab 7.3 I’ve owned for 13 years.

Put in a Banks Intercooler, 160/0 Injectors with 1023 tunes on my Hydra, trans upgrades, for less than a down payment on a new truck and it does everything a newer one can do.

Very cool truck, always enjoy seeing your videos. There's not many dedicated 7.3 channels out there. I like how you're so passionate about the 7.3 and enjoy sharing it with others. You've got a unique thing going and your truck is a very nice example. I enjoy learning about the modifications you can do to the 7.3 to gain more power. I'd be interested in hearing about your high pressure oil pump assuming it's aftermarket. Keep up the great work!

such a nice build. im a sucker for a clean obs that isnt lifted to the sky

$30K over the years for your passion isn't as bad as it seems. For $30K you could go buy a stock high mileage newer truck but then you'd have to wonder about how it was maintained, and it would most likely be stock. I like seeing these older trucks being loved and modified. You definitely have more fun with this than spending $30K on another used truck.

That’s a hell of a lot cheaper than my 6.7 Powerstroke. On my OBS it might go 400hp and I’m into that about 8k but I have a ZF5 so my trans cost is substantially lower. There is something about the 7.3 that just gives you satisfaction unlike any other platform.

Just picked up a F250 XLT extended cab super clean original paint 150, 000 runs super smooth. Looking to just happy long term running OBS ford.

[jessegoldston]

Yes indeed! Awesome! I have a 05 F-250 6.0 XL single cab that I have been getting work on, should be close to 600hp! Lots of mods!

I have a bone stock '96 FSeries 7.3L Powerstroke I bought in 2019 that had 26, 200 original miles on it and just turned 29, 500 miles last week. I had to have the automatic transmission rebuilt because the firedept I bought it from got the thing stuck a few times on Camp Attabury helping put out grass fires and were hard on that trans. I have no idea what I want to do with it other than get more top end out of it. The thing can tow an oil tanker and never break a sweat! It's got Dana 70's with 5:13's.

Brandon, thanks for the details man, I've had my 02' for almost 15 years now and love it. I've got the KC 300x, 238/80's and Irate fuel system and couldn't be happier.

[jimletzring]

Bought my 00 in 08 with 130k on it to use for hauling my rock crawler bronco, camper and my sandblasting trailer. I finally have ALL pieces and parts for MY upgrade plan, KC turbo, CNC 160s, hydra with jellibuilt towing tunes and an upgraded valvebody for the transmission. It currently has 230k miles. I can't wait to get parts in and tow my broncos.

[BenJamin-oukd]

I bought a 97 7.3 f250hd 5 speed in decent shape for 7k$ I've put in about 15k$ into it to have it running dependable, new tires, airbags, rebuilt injectors, etc, older vehicles cost money to keep running

[ryangough]

I drove my 97 7.3 for a long time too and still have it but it’s tough to justify dumping money into when it’s so easy to go fast in newer stuff. Tuned 3.5 ecoboost f150 is just so easy lol

[nickhrt]

I have the same set up in a 02 it’s definitely spicy …going full build now she threw a rod today

[corypiette]

Put about 20k into mine. Repairs and upgrade. Alotta money but it puts a huge smile on my face.

I love the truck . Diesel arent cheap like gassers. I allwayd liked the older ford's even the newer ones are nice but love the cummins platform . I have 3 rams. Diesels 89 01 08. I don't like the dodge truck so much but a 1000hp fuel only is easy and not as expensive as other trucks. The only thing throws me off about new trucks is having to remove the cab to do any major work.
