We had a 97 with the 7.3liter. I chipped it and put in a banks exhaust and thought I had a real puller. In 05 I bought a 04 with the 6.0liter. I chipped it and put in a new exhaust. I also installed aux gauges to monitor turbo boost and temp. The 6.0l out performs the 7.3 in every way. Smoother, quieter, better fuel economy and way more power. Plus the torqueshift transmission is superb.
Some guys have had real problems with the 6.0l. I have always monitored my exhaust temp and have always run with a fuel additive. My truck now has 275,000 kms and no issues. So a good well cared for 6.0l might be a good bargain today. They are real cheap used.
