Thanks to all who contributed to my question .... however ... yesterday, I sold the 2003 and purchased a 1996 FORD 7.3 Dually F350 with 214,000 miles on it.
I now feel a lot safer , owning it, and will be happy to put any money I need to , into repairs.
Too bad in a way ... the 2003 was a pristine vehicle, and something to be very proud of , but , far too risky to count on.
Again ... Thanks ... Richard
Wow! You really buckled to peer pressure there didn't you?
Not sure about that move without really giving the 6.0 a chance before hitting the panic button. I would have at least given it a fair shot before doing that. The 6.0 you had would outperform and out pull the snot out of the one you have now. The tranny in that 96 is far less superior also. Far less. But if your happy, that's all that matters I suppose.
