I think a main bearing spun in my 93 F-350 with a 7.3L non turbo Diesel with a 5 speed.
Dont wanna take ol yeller outback n shoot it,, know what Im saying?
Ive had it for about 6 years now, had only 117,000 miles on it. Its popped a head gasket once, pump and injectors went south, and had all that rebuilt and turned up just a tad but not to the point of it belching clouds of black smoke.
It ran real good, did not use a drop of oil, changed every 3500 miles with rotella.
I took it for a long road trip during this cold spell, it did not wanna warm up,,, Im wondering if the oil filter may have gotten really cold, it was -13 here that night,, and was driving it around 55 to 60 mph.
Anyways, I like that ol truck, and I do like the body style.
The 7.3 had plenty of power for what I needed. But, was wondering since I may replace the entire drivetrain, and thinking outloud on a possible later model engine swap options are outhere to make a decent streetable, usable machine, that might get 20 miles per gallon.
Ive heard I do not want to turbo charge a NA 7.3. So that brings up the next step up, the 7.3 power stroke. The earlier ones, like up to say 1995 that still had that body style.
Or should I pull the old one out and totally overhaul it. When I had the heads off, it looked to need a fresh bore job in its future,,, but ran good, started good, didnt smoke, or use oil.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
