The 7.3 in our 4x4 1999 F350 town 1 ton (dual rears) has been very good so far. I put new glow plugs in it last year and that's it so far. The auto trans. is another story. Been worked on twice the third time it got a new factory rebuilt one and it's been fine for a year and a half now.
It only has about 43K miles on it but we use it hard in the winter. Nine ft. funnel plow and a 2 yard vee box sander that's usually loaded to over flowing. Probably 7K pounds of sand and the plow weights around a thousand lbs.
Has good power. I don't pay for the fuel so I've never checked the MPG.
