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.

What do you want to pay? What do you plan on using the truck for?

Welcome to the .org!

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 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:

:ORG welcome:

I'm kinda partial to the 7.3 myself :thumb:

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.
