I also prefer the engine tranny combination of a 6.0 compared to a 7.3. Having said that, the 7.3 isn't bad, heck I just recently had for fork over some $$$ to purchase one this year. :B
I would like to point out that the 7.3 PowerStroke was made for 8.5 years (94-03). The 6.0 was in trucks for 3.5 years (03-07)... There are significantly more 7.3's out there than 6.0's..
NONE of the so called upgrades to the 6.0 really addressed the problems with the 6.0 Powerstroke..All years had EGR and oil cooler issues... The head bolts are adequate for the design parementers for the VT365 and its tune... not so much for the Powerstroke tune Ford put on the 6.0 PSD.
Thanks!
