hey guys my name is jeremy
interested in getting a powerstroke.
i am still deciding on what truck to get haven't got one yet. i can't decide between the 6.0 or the 7.3. i like the brute force and longevity that the 7.3 offers. but i like the quickness and the 5speed the 6.0 has.
i would like to hear some input from you guys on which would best fit me and my needs.
i will be using the truck for a daily and occasional towing. the most i see me regularly towing would be between 8k and 10k but my thing is i would rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it. i do want to lift it thinking somewhere around 6 to 8inches with most likely 36's. i do want to do a few mods like the usuall intake, exhaust and probly some kind of tuner and a must have set of gauges.
welcome man!!! its good to see we have new people!! just remember the 7.3 come in a 6-speed thats why i got mine, either way the PSD is the way to go. good luck
Welcome Jeremy and good luck with the search. My oldest son is looking for a Powerstroke too. Not sure where I went wrong but my youngest drives a DoodieMax. :hehe:
i think i am leaning more towards the 7.3 less problamatic and they had it right with that motor it seems. a buddy of mine has one of both a 01 7.3 with all sorts of mods blank out our friends dyno. and he has a 03 with a 6.0 and the 6.0 is really nice and it has the quick ness but his 7.3 will tow like no other. and plus if i get a 7.3 the cost will be down because of being an older truck.
Welcome to the Org. Jeremy:ORG welcome: Glad to have ya aboard!!!:nod:
