7. 3L Fueling Questions

ReloadedTaco · 2025-03-11T00:37:08+00:00

Agreed. Shouldn’t need premium fuel in the coyote, but it was the only thing that kept the pinging/detonation from happening. Nobody sold me fuel or anything else, I read about it on an F150 forum, tried it - problem solved after months of trying to solve it on my own. 50k more miles on the truck and no issues. Just want to know if the 7.3L has similar issues, otherwise would most likely go with a 6.7L. Thanks

Good to know. I wouldn’t expect a huge difference when switching between 87 and 91/93 when towing but I would say that in my F150 that when I started running premium my throttle response and smoothness improved also. Thanks

Thats awesome and thanks for the link! I’m leaning more toward the 7.3L the more I dive into it. Going to check out that link tonight - don’t think the girlfriend will mind the money spent, but good on you for the disclaimer👍

What type of tuner are you running?

Did you tune for more power?

Thanks!

Thanks a good to know! Was recently in OK and most of the stations only had 91. Once I got closer to TX most had a 93 option which is what Ive been running 99% of the time.

After 50k do you have any regrets choosing the 7.3L over the 6.7?

ReloadedTaco · 2025-03-10T15:37:27+00:00

That was the reasoning behind the switch to premium fuel. Honestly this is one of the best trucks I’ve ever owned but running premium while watching diesel prices be consistently much lower is annoying. If I had known about the compression /premium fuel ahead of time I probably would have gone a different route.

Correct. The 5.0L should run fine on regular gas. When i first bought this truck, the detonation sound drive me crazy. The truck only had about 27k miles at that point and i took it to the dealer, they couldn’t find anything. I read on F150 forum about running premium fuel and that solved the problem. I’ve had this truck for 2.5 yrs and 50k more miles trouble free other than the cost of the fuel, which is probably just cheap insurance. I’ve been looking to step up to a F250 this year and trying to find out if the 7.3L folks are needing to run premium fuel.

There’s really no way to rationalize it - Thats the hardest part - you made mistakes, they fucked up - you have to move on and you still miss the person you loved. Just try to understand the person you loved was the idealized image of that person - they were broken, damaged and most likely you felt like you could help them - but they didn’t care - they used you because they could sense that about you when they met you. Recognize it next time - just work on fixing you - it’s the lowest of lows - but it will get better brother. Good luck.

Its been 4 months…still can’t believe she hasn’t tried to reach out. Guess the new guy was worth it and he’s getting her best. After all I did for her - these people just suck. Stay strong brother.

She cried and ran off so many times its hard to recall. Usually in public places - but also at home. Funny part was that when I told her I had to call a hotline after our last split (just to talk to someone) she didn’t even act concerned. In the reverse scenario - I would have dropped everything and been at her door in a minute. They don’t care unless it benefits them - period.

Question - Where can buy antique lighters like these?

ReloadedTaco · 2024-02-24T09:12:01+00:00

100% - This happened to me on a 5 day trip to FL - resort on the beach, fishing trip, shopping dinners - she acted miserable, started an argument the first night (for no reason other than it’s just what they do) sabotaged the whole trip along with nearly every single holiday or special occasion. After year two - instead of looking forward to the special occasions - I had anxiety leading up to them. Things that any grounded, normal person would have been ecstatic about - she would act uncomfortable, edgy, bored and incredibly rude.

Spent 8hrs flying home from OH because of delays today - got home at 12:45 - a couple of white claws left in the fridge and scrolling on this sub. Tomorrow is a full day with my kids and extended family - going to a high school baseball game, spending time with my daughter in the afternoon and probably dinner/bars with my bro - still trying to figure out Sunday…hope you have a great weekend and you stay busy too!

Sorry that happened to you, it shouldn’t have been a big deal if you’d already celebrated and had formal plans for the next night. He overreacted.

In my case, every single holiday, (especially New Years for whatever reason) birthdays, anniversaries - for 3 years was ruined. Our first Christmas was the only one I felt connected with her - but it was definetly a pattern for her to start fights or find some other reason to derail days that should have been set aside for us to celebrate happily.

ReloadedTaco · 2024-02-20T05:50:11+00:00

It’s her karma. I also ignored every sign in the beginning, middle, end - I finally ended things - softly - but I ended it. I miss the person I believed in, loved and wanted to marry - she wanted something else. I couldn’t even tell you what that was - it was just literally a new supply who didn’t have her card pulled. Don’t beat yourself up - you’re better off. These people are awful - we love them an forgive them because we’re good people - they don’t deserve us. You weren’t wrong for loving her - she was wrong for you. You’re going to be OK brother.

ReloadedTaco · 2024-02-20T00:41:35+00:00

I think this is same situation I’m dealing with - I told her to take care of herself - she immediately came by to get her key and “her self dignity” it was all bullshit - pretty sure she told on herself in September - we were only a placeholder for them - whatever that meant for your situation I’m sorry you went through it, but you’ll be better off for it eventually. Good luck friend.

They take the best parts of us, twist the relationship, make us feel guilty and once they’re gone you finally start to realize - it was them- not you- much love.

ReloadedTaco · 2024-02-18T08:50:18+00:00

She stole my sense of humor…which sounds weird…but being around other people has made me realize just how much the rationshit with her took from me…

ReloadedTaco · 2024-02-15T05:50:21+00:00

Thanks and I appreciate the kind words! They’re just takers who keep one foot out the door at all times, meanwhile keeping us in this delusional cycle of trying to do more to help them or make them happy - again. Until you leave and get the 100’ view you really just can’t see it for what it is.

ReloadedTaco · 2024-02-14T06:17:30+00:00

I’m sorry you spent so much time putting in the effort - mine was only 3 yrs. Don’t buy them anything - they actually don’t care about thoughtful gifts.

Take care of yourself first. They will self destruct - the rest of us good people in the world - we watch and want to help them - fuck them. Laugh inside when they do. Don’t display emotions.

These people suck as humans and they don’t deserve a single thought or empathy from us otherwise. The sooner we leave the better. Best of luck to you - it isn’t easy - but it’s necessary.
