My 7.3's have been pretty bullet proof. Have done nothing internal to either one. They like to wear out glowplug relays, not a big deal. Another minor issue is with the exhaust backpressure sensor getting plugged. Both have had some or all accessories replaced. Both have started leaking some fuel, a product of the ULSD switchover, I am told. My '95 with 260k has worn out 3 auto transmissions, and I think I had to do a valve-cover wiring harness. Still has the original Cam sensor. The '96 with 160k on it has worn out 1 transmission and a cam sensor. I do have a 60-100hp "Edge" chip in it. Was a dog when I bought it. I keep it set on the 80 hp setting. Rarely get better than 13 mpg, but it I recon some of that is the fuel dripping out(aka underbody rust protection) I do have to keep an eye on exhaust temps when towing hard, but you shouldn't have that problem with your intercooled engine. BUT if you do ANY mods to it, you need a pyrometer and, if and auto, a trans temp guage. Friend of mine that owns a diesel performance shop told me if you can find one of the older rigs that is in good shape, KEEP IT. The newer ones are a PITA.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
