Setting up the 7.3 truck for welding local jobs. Loading the utility body, up on jacks like a truck camper, from the other F350.

The old 7.3 truck was a very hard worker. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
Hauling a customer's John Deere that needed rebuilding of the aerator mechanism.

The 5.8 truck needed a tow. Rats chewed the injector wiring. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/mad.gif "mad")

The day the 7.3 truck burned down. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/frown.gif "frown")
I was towing an aluminum bass boat that day to the shop for welding repair.

There stands the fire extinguisher that might have been able to put out the fire, IF it had been working! Grrrrr...
Fortunately, that big guy right there, and his crew, got to the fire before it could get to those tanks and go kaboom.

No more 7.3 diesel...

Good thing the truck didn't have electric locks and windows. Would be a bad day to not be able to get out of the truck...

The.hp torque spec mentioned for the t444e from international was the highest output available. Lowest uric was 180/480 or there abouts. The ere two other options in the 200-210 hp range, and 525-545 lb ft of torque. Limit being this was max torque for all but one of the granny options. You had to get a manual with the highest power rating. I've actually out pulled speed wise one of th.e.mid hp setups with.an auto, as the auto pulled some 50+ :-P from the motor vs 20-25 for my 7 sp Spicer. Not bad for a 175/335 non turbo set up. Still a slug over all.

I think the factory rating for the 7.3 Powerstroke in my truck was 235/425. I think it was very slightly less in the pickups of the same year, like 225/400 or so. I'm sure someone here can tell us. I don't have my old Ford spec info from that era at hand anymore and the valve cover sticker is long gone...
Also, I think the 7.3's in the Ford trucks revved a little higher than they did in the International trucks, but the International tune set the peak hp/tq to come in at a lower rpm than the Fords. Probably had different camshafts too.
I would love to have put a manual behind my 7.3. I think it would have been much better than with the auto. I drove an F-Superduty 7.3 truck with the 5 speed manual and 5.13 gears. That truck was a beast compared to mine!

Fire or not, I had to keep on working. Since the utility body and it's equipment were saved (thanks to the guys at circle city fire department!), I offloaded the utility body and put it back onto the trusty old 5.8 truck.

Took off the flatbed too, wasn't sure if I would need it for the next truck or not.
The truck had some heavy spring packs under it...

I see that the 6.0 hp/tq specs are alot higher for the pickups than they were for our '05 E350 cargo van with 6.0/5spd auto.
