Nice numbers. And nice truck. I have a 97 nonintercooled, w/ 198k. Just broke-in. I have eight injectors at 150k, two injector codes . I went with eight new lot order ebay. Funny 4k after switch to straight ulsd two injectors start to get leak. Awesome motors main trailer hauler has 498k on her asof last tuesday.

Numbers look very good, but they are a bit confusing. You have three sets listed, except for the OCI durations, which only have two. Which OCI is missing?

Overall, the wear looks very good here. The lube is in great shape, as the contamination is low and the vis and FP are OK. Excellent showing for the ST fluid and a perfect example of how the ST fluid is every bit as capable as the big brand names.

You could easily extend your OCI, with TBN that strong and insols that low.

My apologies for the formatting. The number on the far right was my baseline 1st test. I didn't remember how many miles were on it. The oil was faithfully changed at about 5K by my Dad for the entire life of the truck. He's moved onto the Bimmer & I get this Beaut. I miss this truck.

They dont make them like they use to do they. The 7.3 was the good diesel for use. 6.0's and 6.4 have advanced epa required emissions and alot of poblems that the 7.3 didnt have.

Agreed. I don't think I will purchase a modern diesel. Too many electrical & emissions nags. Not to mention the prices have sky rocketed. This truck is similar to my 1st. The 1st had a manual & 8' bed. Sold with 256K on it. Bad move on my part. Their going to have to bury me in this one.

If it's anything like the '02-'03 7.3 Powerstroke E-350 vans our co. had, they'll last until the body disintegrates.
