Welcome to the org.! :thumb:

7.3s never give problems! :woot:

Most things that do happen are minor and easy enough to fix. Does it seem to perform well? Any major oil leaks?

Enjoy it! They are pretty tuff trucks. :thumb:

take a look at your coolant, i'd flush it if you don't know the last time it was done. also do your fuel filters, trans fluid, and maybe even the diff/transfercase fluid. the 7.3s sure are strong, we have a e350 at work with over 700K on it, runs like a champ.
