Greetings from the front range

Hey all. New to the site, and new to diesels in general. I'm here for some education before I buy my first one. I've settled on a powerstroke, and based on the research I've done, I think I'll go for a 99-03 7.3 - I like the performance attributes of the 6.0, but I'm leery of the 03-04s, and I can't afford any of the 05-06s yet! Besides, I've heard from numerous people that the guys over at TDP can work some magic with their tuning...and I'm not a balls-out racer.

Anyway, I hope to gain a great deal of knowledge while here. If anyone has any reccomendations as to what I should be looking for in a 99-03 7.3 PSD, or more improtantly what to avoid, please chime in. Once again, I'm here to learn!

-JB

you will get addicted to this site so be careful.

also look up powdered metal rods. I dont remember what years but in the 7.3s if your gonna beef them up a bunch they can cause problems
