cant help but sounds like its had some issues

[Goose]

It may have some issues but these excursions are getting harder and harder to find and are getting more expensive as there is less on the road especially with the 7.3

[Stroken7.3]

Doesn't sound to bad. Sounds like a typical dealership fixing it, none of that was real major stuff. The 7.3s did have that cam sensor problem.

Thanks for the looks...I guess my real concern is what might else go wrong. It seems like the big issues are done and the random breaks might occur.
