Ford 7.3 gas engine
Hi, Has anyone ventured out and got a Ford 350 with the 7.3 liter "Godzilla" gas V-8 to put under their TC? FCA is re-purchasing my 2013 RAM 3500 with the Cummins so I get a chance to start anew...

I haven't kept up with the details of the F450 pickup in the last year couple of years. I know that it was originally an F450 cab and chassis modified for a pickup bed. Ford had so many complaints about it being heavy with poor fuel economy and low speed rating (due to the 19.5" tires) that after about 2 years they went back to the F350 with a beefier rear axle for towing and a wide front but otherwise all the same limitations as an F350.
You’ve got it in reverse. There were only a couple of years that the F450 didn’t have the heavier suspension/tires. I think 2012-2013, but maybe someone else knows.
Check out this video around the 40 second mark.

They may have gone back to the heavier suspension but I don't remember seeing that.
