Wow, sounds like a chore.
On a side note, does anyone have any opinions on the 6.4?
I have read how the 6.0s were problematic, 
but I have been noticing a lot of 6.4s up for sale. How are they compared to the 7.3s???
I appreciate your opinions.

no problem with the 6.0 or the 6.4, just keep about $10,000.00 in a slush fund for when the engine needs worked on.
me personally I love both of them, I work on diesels for a living!

You know I bet if we were to traid off neither would be happy.
Its funny I have lived in several places and it seems that way.
Its a trade off usually.
However I would not mind testing Hawaii out for a while.

Check the front wheel wear patern well for indications of wornout bearings and steering armature, bushing etc.
Rear end play and sleeve leaks on the axles
Drums wore thin
Rust distruction on most if from the snow country
Pitting and coolant issues
Cavitation Article
The normal wear on a older vehicle. motor mounts, pumps, eletrical wiring dry cracks on insulation. etc
Cant think of a whole bunch more that that and ofcourse dtc's
over all is depends on who owned it and how they took care of it.

ha, damn, so I guess all the things I have read about them needing work is true. Since I won't have that kind of money in a slush fund, I take it the 7.3 is the way to go then..?

as for the bronco centurion I always liked those, the only bad thing I had ever heard was body cracks where the section in the center was added.
