The filter is a yes, and no answer. In my package, it came with a K&N factory shaped filter in the stock holder. New Banks packages come with this style. So I bought one, and swapped it around.

They are fine when one tows heavy on a regular basis. Rest of the time, putting on a couple 100,000 riding around on a cement block with wheels isn't..

The 7.3 was a good engine in a good era. If they still offered that exact same engine now, the govt would fugg it up with all the emissions crap. That's a fact.

How true. Emissions were the death of the 7.3l. Heres what else it pulls around.

I have a 7.3 IdI in my 88 F350 that I work hard on my firewood business, it has only 250 thousand miles on it, which isn't very many for a 32 year old engine, love the 7.3, don't need a turbo.

Mechanics say the 12 valve Cummins is the best. They are both good.

I had one 7.3 - in a '99 F-350 SC dualie.. Pulling a mere 12K# camper it struggled and took a LONG time to get to speed.. (Pure stock).. Only way to get it moving would be chipping it - and I just didn't wanna mess with all that stuff.. But that's just me.. My current 6.7 PSD would out pull that 7.3 by miles..

Friend of mine's a Dodge tech - and tells me the new Cummins is having a ton of problems, but I cannot recall in what way, although he did mention that one guy who just bought one (80K$ dualie) gets 25 miles and the truck goes into 'limp' mode... Dealer hauled it back - fixed it and he got another 25 miles and it went right back into limp mode... Three times now, and the guy's right pizzed... To me, that sounds more like a software issue not necessarily related to the engine.. I hope to learn more next time I see him..

Yeah, but the 7.3 didn't cost $70K. That price is not relative by any stretch of the imagination.

I also have the Banks (jake) brake. Well, actually you have an EXHAUST brake. What is called a Jake brake (Jacobs engineering and Pacific engine brake) is an ENGINE brake. The exhaust brake is just an exhaust restriction, remember pounding a potato up your buddy's tailpipe? The engine brake is far more complex and effective, it converts your engine to a 7.3 liter air compressor by hydraulically altering the valve timing. The original exhaust brake was called the Blue Ox, in the '50's...they were very effective...at blowing exhaust manifold gaskets. Not that you care, just sayin'.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Well, I didnt want to go into details, so just called it that. It's an exhaust brake for being technically correct.

I have a 2004 dodge and a 2018. Both 3/4 ton. The 2004 is a little stronger, but the 2018 only has 8000 miles on it, so it isn’t broken in yet.

Once a guy has btdt a few times, has the t-shirts and the scars, you just find something that works and go about your little life. Sounds like you've got it figured out splattermatic. It works, and that's what matters most.

Yep. Good truck, plenty of cab space, long lasting motor, and enough power to do what I ask of it.
