    id say if you have proof of some updated repairs then do it...do you need the diesel power or just like the idea of one? i almost bought a 05 f250 when i was lookin at my f150 but i would rarley need that much power...but the life expectancy of a diesel and having the power when i needed it seemed good to me...but not paying the price of diesel fuel led me to the f150...to each is his own i guess it all comes down to you...you have driven the truck and seen it first person and we havent...

    Your past 2 statements have proven you do really have "chit for brains" :birgits_tiredcoffee anyway on with the topic.....the 6.0 did in fact have head bolt problems in STOCK form. Stupid people would hook a programmer to them and put it on 125-150 hp and run the dog crap out of it and then say "they are junk" well the fact is ANY diesel that is not used the right way (or in the hands of kids) will do the same thing. :Grenade:

    If the stock head bolts can be confirmed to have been changed and the EGR has been deleted (stock one was to small for the amount of power/exhaust it could (or needed) to get out.... so your better off just deleting it and being done with it. If you go to a diesel forum and ask around they will tell you the same thing. In stock form if you want to mod it they need these things done. If these things have been done the sky is the limit on what you can do.


    I personally love the 7.3 so I won't tell you to make the the trade (unless you want the truck) but would hold out for a 6.4 or 6.7 or even a really nice 7.3 in a older model. That is a great looking truck but so is yours.

    My call is keep your truck cause it's dope :chewie:
