the ford 6.2l and 7.3l gassers seem like a really good choice these days

 

You see I need a work truck not another project lol

Well yeah if I wanted to fix a 6.0 on a weekly basis I could pick one up for cheap. But I don’t feel like playing the “why won’t my truck start this time?” game every day again. If I’m honest I’ll end up finding a 99-03 crew cab 7.3 with a manual for around 12k. But let me have my pipe dream damn it.

 

you buyin?

 

buying what?

 

A 6.7 for me. We both know I can’t afford that shit

 

the payments are gonna be cheaper than your monthly "cheap" 7.3l/6.0l repair bills

 

Hey my 02 f350 had 425k on it when I gave it back to the company I worked for. And I did the maintenance on it for the 75k I put on it. I have no interest in a 6.0l though.





or I could continue the trend of poor financial decisions I’ve made and get another car loan now that I paid both of them off...

It got cold...
I love it

 

I am still enjoying the 8.1L for truck things. Glad I got the long bed. Had to get a daily because the truck likes to drink gas too fast.

 

sounds like you need to change jobs again My neighbor is on his second company 6.7. They made him turn in the first at 250k mi but it had no major issues.

I saw these today. They have went from 550 to 500 and now 475 Might be worth a drive to Loveland for $140 Que? Solamente tres? SXers huh?

 

That’s perfect... if you take $20k off it and add an extra stick through the floor

 

when you start towing enough the automatic becomes a pro rather than a con

 

Until it goes

 

my 6.0l had like 335k on the factory transmission when I sold it

 

I have a follow up question, was it the factory 6.0l as well?

 

as far as I know it was with head studs and the upgraded EGR cooler.


Never had any of the typical issues with the injectors, head gaskets, egr cooler, or FICM. It kept killing sensors and stuff though. Turns out the engine harness had chafed through in the valley and was shorting out.


I liked the truck and loved how it sounded but after getting stuck in the mountains 2x with a trailer due to electrical issues it was time to say goodbye.
