I can't believe how fast this thing accelerates from 60 mph to 80 mph in fifth gear.

 

Wow, great find there! Truck looks clean that is super low miles for a 7.3. And the manual transmission ... very nice.

Just need to swap on some tow mirrors and she's set. Congrats on the new-to-you truck.

 

put a tuner on it from DPtuner if you want to see it accelerate, those 7.3 are slow stock

 

Sounds like he's happy with its performance. But I agree, custom tuning is a great mod on any truck.

 

Nice find! Needs some bigger tires, tint, and tow mirrors and you'll be set! And let's not forget that Bill @ PHP makes some wonderful custom tunes for the 7.3.

 

That's funny, before I came to check the forums right now I was looking up the price on the tow mirrors. Just wondering if the heated mirrors will work since they come with a retangle to round adaptor.

Tire - How big without a lift nor wheel well mod? The butt-head at the used car dealership had replaced the bald tires with Sailun Terramax H/T 235/85-R16's. Their sidewalls are utter garbage and barely tolerable near max inflation pressures. Grrr. Hopefully the local tire stores will buy them for at least $20 a piece since they only have 300 miles on 'em.

Tune - If anything, I'll go for propane/cng and avoid any tuning. I'm probably on the extreme "light load" end of users of this size of truck. Got the diesel so I could use "alternative fuels".

 

You put propane on that sucker and you'll see what the inside of the motor looks like reaaaaaaaal quick. There's a reason why hardly anybody makes propane systems anymore...

Largest tire you can fit on the stock rims is 285/75/16. Your rims are too narrow for anything wider.

The heated mirrors will work just fine, but you'll have to wire up the heat yourself which is no big deal.

 

Zaairman - And the 285/75-R16 won't rub or bump anything?

 

Dude driving that thing must be fun as F*&K Manual tranny on a 7.3 SCORE!!! And i'd put a Bullydog in that thing if I were you. Or Superchip

Thats what my dad runs in his 08 Harley 250

 

there are only a few good tuners for the 7.3 they are dptuner, tony wildman or swamps diesel. Do not buy anything else!!!!

 

I think you forgot Bill at PHP.

 

yeah sorry bill is the man also and should be included with the other 3

 

Nope, not at all, although I've never heard of a 285/27...

I wouldn't run it, and neither would most others. If you dad really wants to make some serious power, then he needs to look into custom tuners.

 

Great looking truck! Those are hard to find.

 

I miss my old '01
