1) Doing a delete is illegal. Enforcement may be sparse to non-existent in most of the country, but if you're a business owner, odds of getting reported and fined became much higher.
2) Ford has a "no-touch" policy on trucks that are deleted. Dealers are not so supposed to perform any warranty work on a deleted truck. Furthermore, deleting the truck requires a programming. There's no way to remove the "bread-crumbs" left behind, even if you restore to stock, which Ford can use to deny powertrain warranty claims.
3) The stock 6.7L makes almost double to the HP and torque of a the 7.3L. When you say your son's truck reminds you of the 7.3, are you saying it feels slower? And noisier? Besides purchase repair costs, I see zero advantages of a 7.3L over a 6.7L...
