Good news
<DIR>I sold my 95 7.3 PSD and bought the 03 6.0 PSD earlier in April, used with 11,115 miles on it.
Lift, rims and tires are done, exhaust, gauges and Predator programmer. The Tow/Haul switch was replaced and the float for the fuel-sending unit wedged into the top of the top of tank, Dealer did an R&R with new design and also replaced the fuel filters with the warranty claim.
This weekend I winterized the truck, wash, wax, packed the rims off to storage. Pictures are in my gallery for anyone to take a sneaky peeky..
I am celebrating 20K miles on the truck this week and I want to thank all the FTE regulars who have had to put up with me so far…

This was my test post, you will definately get more replies if the engine goes down in flames and the trans blows up all in one big fireball....
Let it be said more trucks are running care free......but it must be no fun to reply to a good situation.....
So to those that think the 6.0 was a mistake........

He has been on this forum. I pointed someone toward the FRT. He sent me a message and thanked me for saying good things about them.

I hear alot of people complain about the V-8 diesel, claiming that an I-6 is superior for torque and pulling heavy loads, since the semi's use them. People need to keep in mind these trucks are not semi's- if you are pulling a load that actually requires a low-rpm governed, large-displacement Inline-6 cylinder wet-sleeved engine, you have a truck with the WRONG CHASSIS, not the wrong engine. The V-8 design is much more well suited for the comparitively "light" loads designed for the Superduty, and I would be severly disappointed to see it go...
As a matter of fact, I would really like to see an 8-cylinder boxer turbo diesel...

Cat also built some V-8s that were less then you would expect.....
Took them a while to figure out the difference between a motor that runs against a governor all day long turning a bunch of hydraulic pumps, and a motor that runs over the road under constantly changing conditions.
Gotta say though, they have come a long way, and build some fine motors now.
