I bought my 7.3 new a couple years ago to pull my fifth wheel camper. It tows great and I've had no trouble with it at all.

However, what I read, is that they suffer injector problems. But that is a long term problem (high miles). The 7.3 engine should run 250,000 to 300,000 miles no problem with regular maintenance.

But, like everything, they all have problems. the early 6.0's had fuel injector mapping problems as well as oil leakage problems somewhere around the intake manifold at the rear of the engine.

The engines changed in 2003. That year one could purchase a Ford Super Duty with either a 7.3 or a 6.0. As the 7.3 was tried & true, I went with existing technology so I wasn't the lab rat for the 6.0.

I'm not an expert, I just did my homework before I pulled the trigger on the purchase.
