Problems w/6.0, 6.4 & 6.7 PowerStroke diesels video

Only reason 7.3 is STILL so highly regarded is because of the decade long failures with the 6.0/6.4. If those motors were half way reliable nobody would even be talking about the ancient 7.3 today... Weak 4-speed, noisy as hell, and not a lot of pulling power by todays standards.

No denying emissions have made modern diesels much less reliable.


I think you're 100% correct. I still like the old 7.3L though :B
