The EGR problems are a myth, not a problem.

The headstuds? Eh, I don't buy it either. I'm running a 100+ HP tune on a 300k 6.0.

With BTW, original EGR/Oil cooler, head gaskets, and turbo...

The '03's had some problems for sure, but 04 1/2 and up are pretty solid. Different problems then the 7.3's but no worse.

Well don't get me wrong Tom, I'd take the studs for sure. If/when the egr cooler blows, it will go too.

I'm just saying I'm not doing them before a problem just to do them.

Ahh, the old 7.3 vs 6.0 debate.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a 6.0.

Anyone ever use something like this before. Just thought it would be nice for the snowmobile trailer, Get a small wall mount generator and this and the sleds would be dried off by the time I got home. Could also throw some hooks in there to hang up the gear and wouldn't even have to bring it in.....

Or I could just use a couple good batteries and make sure the heater is off when I charge them. Any ideas.....

Not sure that heater would do much in a trailer that size.
