I have no idea what percentage of problems people have with various components.

By the way the the trailer that wicked water from the bottom of the slide is a 06 Cherokee 30F, 2 slides 12' in front and a small slide in bedroom. Same design used in your tt different floor plan.

I also have a 2000 Excursion with the 7.3 Diesel. Not relevant but interesting.

Hows it tow the longer camper? I looked for a while for one but eventually gave up. all used ones are $30K for one with under 200K miles. You could get one with the 6.0 for mid teens-low 20s. I didn't like the idea of potential blowing my engine while towing though.

It's marginal with a big camper. On flat ground it will stay in overdrive but even a highway overpass can make it downshift. The 6.0 is a stronger motor but you are already aware of its shortcomings.

That said I will never get rid of it. I have had it gone through and only have 150k miles on it. Just think before long I can get a antique tag for it. :B

The little Dodge 3.0 Diesel has about the same amount of power as the old 7.3 with a lot better transmission. The new Ford 3.0 Diesel should be promising as well
