This guy is a genuine cowboy. You know why? Because he bought a truck that he loved and kept for nearly a quarter century. Never thought once to get rid of her. Uses it for work and a construction job. He chops wood to heat his home and uses his truck to drive through the bush and loads it on, and it never complains. An honest man driving an honest truck. That is so rare these days. Hats off to you sir. You have my respect.

I knew it was a 7.3 without even watching the video. What's even more impressive to me is, 2 batteries in 23 years??? Wow!!

My father put 1.2 million miles on his ‘98 F350 Powerstroke. The original motor went over 900, 000 miles till a piece of an injectors scored one of the cylinders. The other cylinders still had good compression when tested. It had a hard life as he delivered new RV’s across the country with it. I have a 2001 E350 Sportsmobile with the 7.3 and it only has 150, 000 miles on it and I friggen love it, such a beast and a lot more life in the Powertrain. 😆

More proof that emissions have ruined modern diesels.

Yep, great video...great topic and series. These were the quintessential for the diesel markets. These were built amazingly well, no stupid excess sensors, dpf, useless emissions... just a solid machine. International nailed it on the Powerstroke.

It’s not difficult for a 7.3L diesel ford to go 500K miles. They go that long because of lack of emissions equipment on them and they don’t make enough power to hurt themselves. My 1999 F-350 with the 7.3L only has 154K on the odometer but it is extremely meticulously cared for by me and me alone.

And it’s not a caterpillar engine. The injection system is a caterpillar design but the engine is built by international.

One hell of a machine. Built before people started tuning them to pull like top fuel dragsters, and then complained about blowing motors haha. No frills, just hook up your trailer and go. Slowly.

i have 2000 model 4 door 4x4 with almost 500k miles i pull 14k pounds every time i use it for the last 10 years, its been a work truck for the last 20 years, love the truck still running strong!!!

My dad has a 1999 F-350 PowerStroke with 1.6 million miles on it. It has spent its entire life pulling a 34ft enclosed trailer with living quarters, tools, etc. same engine, same 6 speed. I believe it’s had 2 clutch replacements. I reckon it was Built Ford Tough.

As a mechanic for 50 years I firmly believe most any vehicle can and will last if properly maintained. I've had 2 Dodge/Ram trucks that had over 380k miles, my sister has a Chrysler Sebring convertible with 522k miles. I have a friend with a Ram Cummins with over 500k miles. Maintenance is the key.

Love seeing a truck used as a truck with dirty and dusty everything in one of your videos. Trucks are loved and brand loyalty is established because of those that use them as tools day in and day out. The guys who have no desire to upgrade to something new and shiny even if they had the cash are the type of guy many aspire to be.

[mapquestHs]

Have a friend who has same truck with 1, 350, 000 miles on the original 7.3. Saw him buy it new in 2002. 7.3 in an amazing engine! Truck is still in service for Southwest Locomotive original owner

[TrumptrainVance]

I have a 7.3 !!! 2000 crew cab dually ! She fires up no problem! 135k miles! I love it

[JL-cqek]

This is awesome! Love to see reviews on older trucks and owners experiences. Keep these videos coming please!

[mattl]

Great video, Andre. You should do a series called “I love/hate my OLD ride!”

[southhillfarm]

Videos like this where people actually use their truck as intended are the best.

[Danzilly]

The more love and care you give something the longer it lasts! Eddie! Thanks for showing your truck!

[obs_j.a.g]

My 2000 f250 6.8 v10 has 376000 miles on it. It’s still my daily & 4x4 works awesome 🤙🏽

[JustinKingOffroad]

a real man's working truck! the 7.3 won't die if you just take care of it!

[jdub]

My neighbor drives a F350 in a V10 that has over 600 K miles. He's a dr and drives it to work 100 miles round trip a day. He claims the motor has never been opened and neither has the transmission. Also claims ac is original. That's pretty amazing being that it is a gas motor
