There’s your rig, if you hurry...
Thanks! Any tips on how to judge gas vs diesel? Most of my searching says the diesel engine (especially 7.3.) will outlast the 6.0 diesel and gas by a long shot and give you better gas mileage. Any general guidelines on what is a decent mileage vs too much mileage when buying used?
The old 7.3 diesel is awesome but they are getting a bit long in the tooth. Sold ours with 265k miles on it running great but the truck around it was falling apart.
I would avoid the 6.0 diesel unless you know the seller and he can give you full details on it being bulletproofed.
Unless you are doing a ton of miles or pushing beyond the limits, I wouldn't shy away from gas. You'll run higher RPM climbing and burn a bit more fuel but they will do the job and hold up just fine.
