I just found out that a fellow employee has a 03 cc dually for sale but it has the 6.0. he is selling it for 9800. 179k looks to be in good shape. I dont need the dually but it looks a helluva lot better than my 00

A coworker just traded his 5.4 for an eco-boost. So far he is not happy. He says the 5.4 was better in every way. If it is a downgrade from a 5.4, it would really hurt going from a 7.3.

Any details as to why? A buddy just went from an 09 4.6l to the ecoboost and is stoked.

Another friend sold his 7.3 and got one. He swears it pulls his trailer with the jeep and quads on it way better than his old stroker.
