My current TV is a 2014 Ram with 6.7 Cummins and Aisin tranny. But my "other" TV, and still part-time daily driver is a '96 7.3 PSD F350 CCLB 4x4.
Comparing the 2 trucks are like comparing apples and oranges. No doubt that the Ram comes stock with all the power you need, is quieter, more comfortable, modern, etc. But there's great benefit in a mod'd 7.3. In stock form, they're not very impressive, but when you wake it up with chips, intake, exhaust, injectors, etc., it's an entirely different truck. With nearly 300k miles, I'd get it in today and drive it across country with 5'er in tow (right after I replace the ball joints).
