Me too. I almost did it. A guy wanted 500 for both front and rear axle off his 2007 that was in a fire. But I was a day too late.

6.4... Well duh, happens to be the best diesel in a light truck on the road right now
6.7... Time will tell, but leaps and bounds above the 7.3, in EVERY SINGLE RESPECT...

Also, dont know where you got this idea that the 7.3 is superior to all the others. Its not.

After only 2 days, I have had two of my coworkers ask about the truck. One asked where my truck was (it was parked in the parking lot, just with a facelift) and another asked if I got a new truck.
My response to the second was "Nope, same truck. You can tell because it has the same leak." As I pointed to the fast flow of coolant onto the parking lot.

Yeah, I ordered a new pump last night. Generally UPS is fast from Oregon to California, hopefully it comes tomorrow. I'm off today and tomorrow.
