NO. Everything after the 2003 7.3 is unreliable. The early 86-96 diesels that you are talking about were very reliable but just a little underpowered. IMO the 01-03 7.3 was the very best diesel ever offered in any truck! After saying this someone always chimes in and claims cummins is best but I like being able to talk to my passengers while driving.
