What things to beware of when looking at turbo units?

Is a SRW enough truck to pull 10,000 regularly, or am I better with duals?
Welcome to the forum man!! Where in montana are ya?? Im a naitive myself!!

All the 7.3's from 94.5 to 2003 were turbocharged.....and they are plenty for pulling 10k. Id definately look for an f-350 pulling that kind of weight though. A duelly would pull a little better, but it is plenty doable with a SRW. If you are going to use the truck exclusively for towing id go duelly, but if its gonna be more of a daily driver i would go SRW because they handle so much better on snow and ice. Let us know if you have any other questions buddy!!!
