Yes it is a great choice for a used truck, probably the best choice. I know they fetch top dollar, big reason I traded it after 16years , while it was still worth something. I agree thats a fact.
I agree the 7.3 is a solid engine, why do you think I drove it for 16 years. As with anything used, my point was to let the OP know more then this nostalgic view that most of you have. It won't be such a great truck when he has to start replacing transmission's, changing to the 6.0 cooler etc etc . Hopefully some of this stuff has been done, and it is not bone stock . If it is stock, he won't like the power, thats a fact.
