the best engines ever put in a diesel pickup (according to Wiki). The
video explained the 7.3L had virtually no emissions equipment and was a simple design. Ever since emissions were placed on diesels, all kinds of problems came up. Later models were less reliable and more expensive to buy, repair and maintain. I have seen new Ford PUs with a sticker of $74K. That's just ridiculous.
New diesels also get reduced MPG, because fuel is used to clean emissions. Meaning more total fuel is burned. To me a couple living in a 5er, has a pretty energy efficient lifestyle. They have a small area to heat or cool and they tend to go were the temps are mild (i.e. summer up north, winter in FL). The additional cost has stopped my plans of buying a diesel & 5er. I'm sure it has done that to many others as well. So, I very much doubt the new emissions do anything for the environment. Here's the vid: http://tinyurl.com/pe6nxs5

No denying emissions have made modern diesels much less reliable.

Yep, there is nothing like the noise, smoke and smell of a 7.3 in your home garage.
I have a 6.7 and I am as happy as a clam.
After nearly 16 years with a 99 Superduty 7.3 there is not much to miss compared to the new diesel's .
If you like the noise, smell ,lack of power then the 7.3 is the truck for you . Great truck in its day , buts its yesterday's truck.

I agree the prices of pickups is nuts. But we, the consumer keep on buying them.

While writing this I listen to this video and everything he says is right on as usual. Did not know he sold trucks he's repaired. Might sell my 02 F350/7.3/6 speed with 70K miles and have him build a truck.
