To the OP, the 7.3L is the best diesel Ford has ever put in a truck by far. Personally I would opt for the F-350 and a 6 speed manual transmission if possible to give you the extra GVWR and eliminate the transmission problems. The 7.3L with the ZF6 transmission was a sweet combo and I looked for one for a long time before buying the truck in my signature. I think you would be very happy with the performance and fuel mileage of the truck over what you have. Saying that, if you can find a newer 6.2L gas truck I'm sure you would be happy with that as well but it won't get nearly the fuel economy of the 7.3L.
