Hello everyone. I just purchased my first diesel, a 2002 F-350 supercab, 7.3L with 66K miles. I absolutely love this truck. I figured I would join the forum and learn a thing or two about these trucks. I previously owned a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD, gasser, which I liked, but this truck seems like so much more. Not to mention the mileage is a heck of alot better.

I just thought I would stop by and introduce myself.

LOL! WELCOME

But it's not a 7.4 it is a 7.3

Also congrats on your find!!! A 2002 is a VERY reliable year, and with 66k on the motor it is just broken in! HONESTLY!

Start up a maintenance log and change all fluids now so you have a baseline to compare to. Take care of this and you will have this truck for MANY years to come.

Also remember that in order to learn, you must ask so dont hesitate! Piles of knowledge floating around on this site! Enjoy yourself and again, Welcome.

OOOPS. I feel dumb... I was reading an article about the new 6.4 right before I wrote my original post. Just a little number dyslexia. I love my 7.3. Thanks for the welcome everyone.
