Popular Post Mike Posted October 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thought I would brag a small amount since I usually don't share much in the line of trucks. I had been looking for a very long time for one of these but never thought I would come home with a 7.3 of any kind. It is a 2000 F 350 4X4 automatic with 136,483 on the clock. Saw it in the Wheels and Deals Magazine and decided to give them a call. You might appreciate me for this, I traded a Toyota Corolla with 271,258 miles and was glad I could make the deal. Back in the summer I found a 2007 with 6.0 but something was telling me to not buy it. So far i'm glad I waited. I was about to wait until next year,late when the incentives are available to take the new truck plunge. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47234-you-fomoco-lovers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

66dc75 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Nice truck, 7.3 is the best way to go. 6.0 is the express lane to an empty wallet. Mechanic next door to me makes a good living doing egr coolers, head gaskets, injectors etc. on 6 liters.

Maddog13407 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 yup, Fuel injection modules and computer are another 6.0 litre headache. can change injectors about every other oil change. only problem I ever had with the 7.3 was the glow lug harness would burn out and up here in the salt belt of New York the oil coolers would rot right off the engine.

bulldogboy Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Great looking truck, looks like it was well taken care of for the last 16 years. Hope that you get 16 more years out of it. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47234-you-fomoco-lovers/#findComment-348654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought new mirrors for the 350 , now installed and having issues finding Power Mirror Switch Connectors for it.
