No regrets here. We have a 2000 7.3 which we have owned for almost 10 years, some minor issues, but did need to have the rear diff rebuilt - figured that was a fluke. Otherwise it's the most reliable vehicle we have (and the oldest for that matter). I plan to keep it at least another 3 years, maybe 5. Just not much reason to replace something that is reliable and relatively cheap to own.
I think there's nothing to add to what's been said - the 4R100 needs extra cooling and if it were me I'd run a Blackstone analysis on the trans fluid (and engine oil while you're at it) to make sure it's healthy.
Would not hesitate to hook up my 10k 5er and drive cross country tomorrow with it. If only I had the time off :)
