I am just asking because I had a 6.0 liter within my budget with low mileage. 18500 for 41k miles. in canada thats about half of what the vehicle is worth and now all that I have in my budget are gas jobs.

7.3's and 12 valve cummins are the only diesels in my budget.

screw owning a dodge.

7.3's are known to be tough..... just... there not as peppy as a stock 6.0

157 on first motor (broke pushing 400+ rwhp). Cylinders looked great, heads looked great, everything looked new minus the broken parts.
