if you can afford it and need 4wd, look for a diesel. Better fuel econemy, more power, more fun to drive. Only thing is ford diesel's seem to have alot of problems, well the 6.0's do anyways. I'm in the market for either a powerstroke or a duramax right now. I'd like to stay ford, but the duramax's are just about bulletproff

6.0 have been out long enough that any problems they had when they were new probably arent an issues anymore, the 6.0s make tons more power than the 7.3 with very little supporting mods, heads studs and a tune and you are good to go, but if you want all our reliability then 7.3 hands down

Yea well head studs isnt exactly a "minor" problem, and your gonna have to basically lift the cab off of the frame to get them done.

I thought it was the 7.3 diesel that was the craptastic one, not the 6.0????

nope. there the best. IMO the pre 99 7.3's with an intercooler setup make better power.

nope, we've done head studs without pulling the body completely off

well they can be, changed the spider to a pre 99.5 design and some other stuff and you can make big power
