Merry Christmas to all. I have a question that may spark a debate.
I have a 2010 6.4 and a 2002 7.3. Pretty much decided to get rid of the 6.4 and was thinking of keeping the 7.3.
7.3 needs some work to seal some exhaust leaks and there is another thread I have discussing stuff to do to the 7.3. Bottom line I am looking at around 2K to go from UP pipes forward with some preventive maint and upgrades. Tranny is unknown at this time but it does have 150K on it.
Question.... I thought why not sell both and put my money in a 2015 to 2017 6.7. I know little about the motor but do know that working on it may be difficult.
Thoughts on the motor and a WHAT WOULD YOU DO question.
Pros of 7.3... NO EMMISIONS crap to deal with and in my opinion makes it stronger and less likely to have problems but it is an older less powerful motor.. Another pro to this is the simplicity that makes repairs LESS (although still) expensive
thoughts on doing this .... I just have not kept up with the 6.7 trend.... thought the 6.4 was for me but it is a picky motor and now that I am moving can not delete it to bullet proof it some.
