I have a 2000 7.3 4x4 crew cab long box F350. It has 235,000 miles with 120,000 of those mine and only about 5,000 not towing a gooseneck trailer. We haul up to 40,000 gvw. I have never done glow plugs or injectors.
Starting. Good, matching, high cca batteries are a must. I would replace them every three years and put the old ones in something else. Any decrease in cranking will cause starting issues. I always plug it in below freezing and it starts fine. Much colder and without plugging it in I might or might not have problems.
Oil. My 7.3 expert and Ford say to never use anything other than 10w 30 oil. Other weights lead to injector problems. It has worked for me.
Mileage, Empty on the freeway up to 18mpg Towing empty 14,000 trailer 14-15 Towing full 14.000 trailer 12-14 Towing empty 25,000 gooseneck 10-12. Towing full 25,000 gooseneck 7-10.
Heavy towing takes fuel. Wind direction and speed make a huge difference.
I have Banks turbo, chip, exhaust, and transmission controller.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
