Yeah make sure you cross out that plate so no one can find you LOL.....did you happen to change the timing belt and water pump yet? What do you mean when you say "timing was corrected"?

Absolutely not true. I have been on FTE for 12 years with 6 different 7.3 trucks. Most of the real knowledgeable guys build for longevity with a mix of power for towing heavy. I am not sure who you talked to over there, but those "max power band aid" guys don't last long. Check out the tech...

Well, that "boring AF" maint stuff really helps it make it worth it. All the cool doodads won't matter if it doesn't run well down the road or lets you down on the trail. Nice work!!

They stopped the 7.3 in 2003. Is he sure it's not the 6.0? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Oh cool....another "slow" thread. They never make it to fruition it seems. Nice Burban though.

Kind of a late reply as I am not on this forum that much. I use FleetCharge. It has the additives you need to protect from cavitation. I do not have a coolant filter. They are great to have, but I have a pretty clean cooling system at this point.

Sorry it's taken me awhile to get back to you. I haven't logged in in awhile. I just did a flush when i first got the truck and filled with FleetCharge that already has SCA in it. You can get it at O'Reillys. I test it once a year and so far, so good. I don't worry about it too much just knowing...

I guess my first and only question is...Why in the world is this at the dealer in the first place? I wouldn't trust my 7.3 with ANY of those idiots. You need to find a diesel mechanic that knows the 7.3. Good grief...I just don't understand the dealer mentality, but that's just me. Sorry to hear...

Please don't cut this thing up. Get an Avalanche....to each his own, but I second the hack job. That's all it will be, no matter how "clean" it looks.

Hey Matt, I am in Oceanside as well. If you ever need help, lemme know. I have a '97. Ford Truck Enthusiast is the best forum, I have found, for these trucks. The guys on there are very cool and very knowledgeable. Seriously though, hit me up. I live right off O'Side Blvd and Coast Hwy.

Yeah man....don't start a thread this good and leave us hanging....or did you even go through with it?

I forgot about this thread. It's good to see it coming along. Amy plans or idea of when it might be back together? Nice work.

Really nice K30! I am guessing you are a Reformer based on your signature?

True story about vehicle purchasing. I was looking for an older Suburban in the late 90s era. I found one last year with only 80k miles, 2500, 4x4. Very long story short, they were asking a ridiculous amount of $$....about $3k over book and market value. They told me the same thing you heard...

Congrats on the OBS. I am from Oceanside. Welcome to the hood! I would highly recommend Ford Truck Enthusiast for learning about your OBS. There is a really good group of knowledgeable guys over there. Enjoy the truck!
