Oh, and one last thing before I opt out of the discussion; in my area you had better be prepared to jump on a cherry Cummins/manual tranny truck quickly and pay premium price for it because they sell within a day or two. And that goes for all years of them. The 7.3L/ZF6 Fords are the same.
OP, if you decide to sell your truck you will have no problem at all and you will get top dollar for it. Just be sure that you want to sell it before listing because you will have people breaking the door down for it! :B
