7.3 man
7.3 idi man
I can't tell ya how proud I am to own my 23 year old ford/IH truck, even though four transmissions later, it's still going strong and will for years to come. When I was in HS and my auto shop class, I had people say "are ya gonna sell that ol thing, come on you need a PSD, duramax or cummins, I tell em I'm proud to be apart of a dying breed of International harvester engines. I think I get more stupid comments from people I tell em when yours is dead mine will still be running strong. My boss, he has his 2012 F-250 6.7, now it's a nice ride but not the pride and proud time honored tradition of our trucks.
And I cant tell ya what I fell the diesel industry has lost, Pride, and doing things one at a time by hand. I just don't understand why they move on to newer things. It's like I posted on diesel stop, My dream is to be a diesel mechanic, but you can imagine a room (past) 6.9/7.3 IDI, 7.3 PSD and outside that door is the 6.0, 6.4,6.7 (Future). In my shop class we learned engine tear down and rebuild, scanners problem solving, but for me if all you grew up with was IDI and 7.3 PSD, you'd probally be nervous too moving on. But I'm takin it one step at a time. I think that's the best way to do it.
My boss tried to get me to trade my truck in, no thanks I'm keeping it as my personal truck. I haul hay and logs on a 24 ft goose neck and sure I'm not the heir but I'd be proud to be the tortose. I'll park my truck next to and new one and not think a thing of it, cause it's what you think that matters, I think we need more 6.9/7.3's in the world no matter what the EPA says. I'll gladly say I'm not going quietly.
