Probably not?
7.3 Godzilla reliability
- OP 🔹 830Tremor
- Start date
A little puzzled by this question. Based on your profile banner, I assume your truck is a 2022 with Tremor package? If that's the case your truck has the 10R140 transmission in it.
If what you are saying is you are getting a new 2026 Tremor, it also will come equipped with the 7.3L/10R140 combination. See the highlights from the 2026 order guide below.

According to the guy making the claim, the 2026 7.3L has "different internals to mitigate the past issues of the 7.3" and these changes will "increase reliability dramatically". Hopefully he will post the actual changes and specifics on the new internals, I am curious to know what was changed.
If these claims were true they would reveal their sources. Also if this was announced by Ford all these updates would be the talk of every automotive web site. So far you can't find anything on engine updates so I'm guessing their source is unsupported internet gossip. When I stumble on one of the AI pages of any kind, I usually X out and block the page. Real information is generally announced by Ford to the industry through news releases.

I completely agree with you. But figured I would let the guy who posted the information comment. He said he did his research. To come on this forum and make the claim, you would think he has proper backing.
How can anyone buy into the idea of "increase reliability dramatically" when the truck has been out for a few months is beyond me.
Yall gotta stop falling for the AI slop channels. That entire youtube channel and MANY like it on youtube are all made through LLM's. Im all for good news on the 7.3 front but anything thats not coming direct from ford or somebody who has actual credibility is nonsense.
Youtube is turning into FB lol
First off, EVERYTHING on the internet is suspect and half of what you all post on this forum is opinion/suspect. Not all of you can agree on any one thing and never will. I have been researching this truck for several months before I placed my order with AI, Google searches, YouTube videos and reviews
Maybe some of the things I have read and seen are not 100% accurate and I am not saying that they are. I am not that gullible to all internet sources. A vehicle doesn't have to be out for an extended time period to make note of manufacturer changes. Now Reliability commentary? Absolutely agree with you that I have no proof with it being so "new" and only time will tell. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I will never know at a personal level as I trade my trucks in every two years for a new one because I get bored with what I drive. My Chevy has just turned 11K miles and I'm ready for the next toy to play with. But...I am not saying it's more reliable...the "internet" sources are. I'll end with this...if you don't like the information I post and care not to read it, please feel free to pass me by or block me as you will not hurt my feelings 
I hope you have a great evening my friend and reduce your stress level a tad with a nice whiskey.

Speculation is fine when it’s called speculation, but bad info has a way of growing legs when it’s dressed up as fact.
No need to muddy the waters at the local watering hole.

Ford makes dozens if not hundreds of changes to superdutys over a model year. Job 2 will be a big batch of coordinated changes but weekly there are mostly transparent changes to parts. Most are not announced and would only be known by engineers and suppliers. The only sure way for 99.99%of us to know without ford telling us is looking for part changes that are not compatible with previous model years. Changing of a part number does not necessarily mean the part had a change, the compatibility is the indicator.
Ai can be great and it also sucks. I wouldn't trust any of it right now. People are being lazy and just ask Ai for answers. The answers can be entertaining sometimes, lol............And even if the 10 speed is improved for 26, good. But, I'm still keeping my '22 7.3. On another note, I did test drive a '26 6.7HO Tremor. That baby was fast!.....just not worth the 98K price tag for me.
Can you please post a link? Can't find it.....
