I think a main bearing spun in my 93 F-350 with a 7.3L non turbo Diesel with a 5 speed.
Dont wanna take ol yeller outback n shoot it,, know what Im saying?
Ive had it for about 6 years now, had only 117,000 miles on it. Its popped a head gasket once, pump and injectors went south, and had all that rebuilt and turned up just a tad but not to the point of it belching clouds of black smoke.
It ran real good, did not use a drop of oil, changed every 3500 miles with rotella.
I took it for a long road trip during this cold spell, it did not wanna warm up,,, Im wondering if the oil filter may have gotten really cold, it was -13 here that night,, and was driving it around 55 to 60 mph.
Anyways, I like that ol truck, and I do like the body style.
The 7.3 had plenty of power for what I needed. But, was wondering since I may replace the entire drivetrain, and thinking outloud on a possible later model engine swap options are outhere to make a decent streetable, usable machine, that might get 20 miles per gallon.
Ive heard I do not want to turbo charge a NA 7.3. So that brings up the next step up, the 7.3 power stroke. The earlier ones, like up to say 1995 that still had that body style.
Or should I pull the old one out and totally overhaul it. When I had the heads off, it looked to need a fresh bore job in its future,,, but ran good, started good, didnt smoke, or use oil.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
