PIECE OF SH$#=== do not waste your time with either the 6.0 or 6.4 ---junk junk junk---7.3 or the latest ford diesel like 2009 or newer only way to go wit a Ford--the reason Ford discontinued them is the horrendous warranty problems with them--- like they bought Back about several thousand of them and the engine is like a $14,000 replacement job---yep FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS--DO NOT THINK ABOUT BUYING ONE EVEN IF THEY WILL SELL IT TO YOU FOR A DOLLAR

Thanks to everyone who responded - I recieved several PM's too all confirming the dubious reliability issues I was worried about. It really is a shame - I will stick with my '01 - 7.3 Powerstroke for a few more years. (Only has 48K miles on it).

Angelo, do you even drive that thing to church?......

I only use it for racing.... LOL. I don't really need a dially anymore. If I could find the same truck with a short bed and 4wd I'd be set. Hard to find in the condion that mine is in and with low miles.

Hang on to that 7.3 they are great. The other really good truck is the Chevy or GMC duramax. They are really strong and reliable. I had both and they were equally powerful and reliable. One of the power chips really wakes up the 7.3.

Don't forget the fine Dodge/Cummins. People put up to a million miles on them.
