In a couple of months I will be buying my first diesel truck I am looking at either the 92 - 96 for smog reasons or the 99 - 07. I want the best fuel millage and most reliable for said years please I will be doing a bio and other upgrades at a later time just want to get the best bang for the buck. I don't mind doing minor to moderate repairs my self just looking for best of the two generations I know a lot of factors come in to play as far as what previous owners did and neglected I am just looking at it from paper standpoint new tech or old school no smog no BS kind of truck Thanks for reading would love to hear what ya think have a good evening/night
I want the newer body with the 7.3 not really sure I want a 6.0 the only thing I know about them is the oil passage prob and the head studs that's all I know about that
welcome to the org
:ORG welcome:
there is almost too much to learn about these trucks glad to see you doing your research before buying.
if you want the most maintenance forgiving dependable superduty series i would probably go with the 99-03 7.3 which are great trucks that people are getting real proud of price wise.
that said i LOVE my 6.0 but there are things to be aware of when owning one.
BUT
if you make the proper "repairs" to the damage caused by the interference and ignorance of the epa in their utter greed and stupidity...yhou can have a very dependable fun to drive truck...
do your research and decide which best fits your needs.
also both have the heui injection system and do well on a wvo conversion...
also check out the alternative fuel section for more info on that :thumb:
I will try to track down a link to that section but my internet is terrible so it may take a while hence the post now edit later
Thanks for joining, it's great to have you here
