I have my 7.3 pulled out and sitting in the garage waiting to go back in the frame after I paint it. I have been told that it has about 3000ish miles on a U-Haul rebuild. I can see the stickers on the valve cover and where one used to be on the air cleaner so I have no doubts they have worked on it but no way to verify the mileage.
What should I check or do while it is out and easy to work on? It ran great with no issues that stick out in my mind.
I plan to pull the heads and check the bores as well as remove the coolant passage plugs Ford installed.
Replace the GP's.
Re-thread the one glow plug hole since the GP will not seat down with normal tightening.
Check the injectors for coking.
Replace the cracked manifold.
Remove the broken manifold bolt.
Replace the sloppy dip stick tube.
The oil cooler doesn't leak so I plan to leave that alone.
