Which one?
I know this forum is for IDI diesels and this question partly related to an IDI diesel
Which truck would you rather have?
1993 F350 crewcab 4x4 5spd. 7.3idi w/banks sidewinder. 390k miles
or 2005 F350 crewcab 4x4 6spd. 6.0. 275k miles. This truck also has a hydraulic winch mounted to it.
I am looking at both truck and seek your input.
Thanks

Would really depend on price and what you want to do with your truck. I have a 94 F250 4X4 with the 7.3 IDI with a factory turbo and I love my truck. The newer diesels are really great trucks with a lot of power but are really expensive when you need parts for them. For example I can buy all 8 fuel injectors for my IDI for almost the same cost as 1 fuel injector for a PSD. So really depends on what you need the truck for and personal choice.
