i would keep the 7.3 unless the truck is falling apart around it. at 128k, that engine is just broke in.

I would agree with Tom! Is there any reason in particular that your looking to upgrade? Different size chasis etc?? If the truck is in really good shape, it would make more sense IMO to just upgrade the performance goodies and creature comforts.

Straight from our 2012 fleet report....

Average number of days each truck spent at repair shop due to powertrain/chassis issues.
7.3=1.25
6.0=32.0
V10=6.0

We had to buy another new 6.0 engine again in 2012....we are hoping to make it through the entire 2013 year without loosing a 6.0 Power Stroke or 3126 Cat engine. (crossing fingers...)
