My dad bought a 7.3 new in 1999, he put about 250k miles on it if I remember right. My old man is the type that doesn't service or maintain anything, probably changed the oil every 20k. When I borrowed it half the time it would only tow at 55mph cause the fuel filter or air filter was so old. They are kinda weak stock but his was a tough sob, only a few cam sensors.

Easy way to tell if u have a low cylinder is unhook cam sensor and crank engine, if it skips a beat when cranking u have low compression in a cyl

This got derailed a bit soo back to it

My question is can i just replace one piston? Or would there be balancing issues? Truck isnt worth a full rebuild.

Also rick id have to disagree with you on the 7.3, before i was a fan of cummins my first truck was a 2000 f350 it had 400k on it when i bought it, and everything was bone stock from the factory except the a/c compressor and stayed that way until my tony wildman tunes killed the trans during a smokey burnout one night

And my answer was you need to make sure everything else is working correctly before you can even determine it needs even the one piston.
Yea I know I always here the same old song and dance. The only reason they last that long is they've had 80 injectors, and are too weak to tear themselves up.
