Zombie'ing a four year old thread in the forum section for engines two generations before yours isn't likely to net you real help. I would suggest starting a new thread in the 6.0L section of the forum to get some help.

Fixed (IDI -> OBS PSD -> SD 7.3 PSD -> 6.0).

Huh, I thought OBS PSD was the same generation as SD 7.3 PSD. Kind of shows what I know about the post IDI lineup.

SD 7.3 has no fuel pump (external electric), no vacuum pump (hydroboost brakes, electric vac pump for HVAC, completely different accessory bracket, different PCM/electronics, different injectors, intercooled, more stuff I can't think of. Base block and heads are similar, but enough differences that most forum sites have separate sections for them, because different issues come up with each generation.
