Yeah...they only put 7.3s in for the first half of 03. Hold out a bit longer and I'm sure one will pop up. Wouldn't trade my 7.3 for anything. Never had an issue except for having the transmission built, but that was more 200,000+ miles of abuse, and the one I have in it now is rock solid. Have a 6.0 as well that has been relatively trouble free.
6.7 is a 2003 f350?????

Yes, diesels in order for Ford pickups were:
6.9 Non Turbo International about 1984/5- 1987
7.3 Non Turbo International 1987-1993
7.3 International with factory installed turbos, ATS I believe. (very short run) 1993-1994
7.3l PowerStroke 1994-2003
6.0l PowerStroke 2003-2007
6.4l PowerStroke 2008-2010
6.7l PowerStroke/Scorpion 2011-N/A
Gas motors available in the 250/350 for the pre 99s were 300 inline six, 302 V8, 351 V8, 460 V8
Gas motors from 99-2010 were the 5.4l V8 and the 6.8L V10. The 2011 model year has just the 6.2l V8 available in the pickups.
A neat way to tell the 7.3l and the 6.0l apart at a glance, since they had the same look 2002-2004, Is the badge on the door stating it is a PowerStroke is different. Take a look and see.

Don't tell me you're looking to get rid of that F-450 of yours? You've got a beast of a truck in that F-450, but I suppose if you'd rather have something else, variety is the spice of life. Good luck in your search.

who said I wanted to get rid of it?? I want to get a daily driver.. which the f450 ain't.
and my dodge daily driver is slowly giving up the ghost, and isn't worth repairing any more. Any repair that costs as much as a battery will be worth more than the truck is...
thus I'm keeping my eye out for a replacement. I like the 450 so muh that a 350 is sounding like a reasonable replacement.. plus gives me a backup good towing truck, with an engine I will be able to trucst, and be a bit familiar with.

Yep.. it's a 99 with a 7.3
it's a decent truck. hauls great. no speed demon with a 4.88 rear end though. 70mph is about 2700 rpm.. considering it redlines at 3400.. I don't go much over about 72
I also run ful syn valvolene ultra blue oil in t he engine, and syn PS, tran and diffy oil too.. since it gets a workout when towing.

Don't feel bad, my '08 F-450 Pickup is speed limited to 81 mph, even though it has the 4.30 axle ratio. They did that because of the commercial rated tires on 19.5 wheels.

81 i don't think my f450 will ever see 81 unless it's on t he bed of a rollback or trailer, going down the interstate.. towed by something else..
