But we thrash them pretty hard & I hope that the 6.2 will last...

Yeah we used to have a pair of 1999 F250 V10's at our ranch when they first came out. I have to admit, they were dogs (maybe they were lemons I dunno) but they got abused BIG time by hired hands and such. I felt so sorry for the last we one we just recently sold. It had 115K on it and it looked like it had 315K on it. It had a ticking noise coming from the engine, the tranny slipped some, and it got 5 mpg, but it was still running. We sold to it a guy for $4500 and he drove it for a year before selling it. That poor pickup. I don't treat my stuff like that though. I am a freak about keeping good maintainance.
