A well maintained car would last you 350,000km to 400,000km. But do expect to change a few parts.
2003 was the last year for the 7.3 Diesel. Best diesel engine ford ever put out.
The last model year for the 7.3 was 2002, then it went to 6.0 then to 6.4
The Ford power stroke 7.3L diesel is one of the most reliable engines in production. Many will perform well over 500,000 miles.
Ummmm. The Ford 7.3L is an International built engine. Ford has used international built diesel engines sense the beginning with the 6.9L IDI up until 2012. The last engine international built and Ford put in their super duty's was the 6.4L. In 2012 Ford said bye, bye to International due to the horriable 6.0L and just as bad 6.4L engines that still have problems to this day and went with a all Ford built 6.7L which is proving to be bulletproof like the old 7.3L's were back in the day.

If properly maintained a diesel will last much longer.
Around 750000 miles duramax is the best diesel and will last.

In a gasoline engine, it is a fuel-air mixture that is drawn in during the intake stroke, unless the engine is fuel injected. In a fuel injected or a diesel engine, it is air, because the fuel (gasoline or diesel) is injected at the "last moment" before ignition.
Any diesel fuel is unleaded. There are summer and winter diesel in some countries. Diesel on cars work till 400000 - 500000km if the owner takes care. On ships it may last 50 years. If you are asking about a diesel engine running on unleaded gasoline (petrol) it will only run for a manner of minutes, if at all.
Depends how well you take care of it , I have a gas engine from 1968 probably out lasted most diesels from that time . You get what you put into it just like anything else in life A diesel tends too last twice as long.
