I wish I still had my 7.3L. I had a 2011 Ford 6.7. Nothing but trouble. Thought it was a lemon. Bought a new 2016 and at 14,000 miles the fuel pump started shredding metal throughout and the entire fuel system is in the process of being replaced. Turns out Fords and Chevys use a high pressure fuel pump that is a weak link. Also the Ford turbo is weak. If you run a programmer the engine puts out so much power it will blow the turbo right off the motor. That happened on my 2011. And I heard bad things about durability of the Dodge trucks over 100k so all I can offer is keep what you've got. If I wouldn't have totaled my 2000 7.3 with 275k on it, I'd still be driving it. It wasn't fast and it wasn't quiet but it didn't break down.
