Most likely. It's pretty beat. Gonna see if it's seized and pull the pan and if it looks as I suspect I'll part it out and scrap whatever nobody wants. Injector lines and clamps are good, glow plug harness wiring is fine but connector insulation is falling apart and should be replaced. I was really just after solid trans front and rear case on this deal. May take a few pieces off the 7.3 but don't see a reason to hang onto it as it's not a freshen up and swap the whole thing in place of my 6.9 type of deal.
So what did you do with your truck today?

Yesterday I put a Ford Blue Oval & IH window decal on it to make it more powerful, haul more, and go faster. Today I used it to jump start my lawn mower, big mistake, with all that extra power from the decals my mower spun up so fast it flew off like a helicopter

Put the new fuel sending unit in rear tank. I can now drive past several gas stations without having to stop. Ha ha, just kidding, but at least won't have to top off side tank every 100 miles or so. Been busy with Black Betty this year. This spring rebuilt injector pump and all new injectors and glow plugs. In the process of painting Betty and hoping next couple months getting new tires and brakes. Gonna be long and exciting summer.

Stuck inside Mobile
Took her across the bay, didn't realize one of the tunnels was closed for maintenance. This caused an unplanned shakedown of new cooling and A/C parts, which I am pleased to report kept the cab comfy and the engine at normal temps while sitting on the I-10 bridge for an hour in traffic each way.

Well if it flew off without a pilot, it's not a helicopter, it's a drone.Today I used it to jump start my lawn mower, big mistake, with all that extra power from the decals my mower spun up so fast it flew off like a helicopter
Me, I broke mine. New clutch fork came in today (PO had welded the old one, and it looked... iffy). Trying to put the slave back on, I blew something in it, and it's puking out fluid and of course the pedal drops to the floor. I'm going to try to fab in a Sachs pre-bled kit for an OBS. To make me feel better, I stuck the "F250" badges on that a fellow forum-er sent me.
Burnt a tank of fuel to get this yesterday
And installed it today!

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE FIRST POP OF THE IDI CHERRY
found a deal i couldnt pass up.
perfect donar truck for a hotrod build.
now, ive picked up several engines, transmissions and such with my crewcrewcabshortshortbed.
towed some lumber, really light weight stuff.
this may not seem like a big deal to you, but it is to me.
i must admit, when i tow, i love towing with my 01 SD.
but today, with the IDM taking a **** on it, i decided to take the IDI.
damn computer ********!
anyways.
60 miles round trip, with a SCLB DRW without a bed on the way back.
gonna say what 5500 +?
plus the 2k for the trailer?
she did absolutely AMAZING. i had to get a shorter hitch because the ones i use for my boat are the extended ones.
but she did F'N GREAT!!!!

Calculated MPG for the first time since purchasing, 18.6! ~200 miles lightly loaded at 55-65 MPH. That's pretty impressive, I was certainly surprised.
