Ford 7.3 PSD sucks
Gotcha! lol
Just kidding.
I made a mistake once in the 6.0 forum by bad-mouthing the 6.0 PSD.
I wouldn't consider it bad-mouthing but they thought so.
Anyways, I got blasted big time.
That's why I only browse the 6.0 and not post anything for fear of retaliation.
The 7.3's and V10 guys seem to be calmer and nicer.

yup... you got me...! i love my 7.3...! i only hope that by the time i need a new truck, (many many many years from now), Ford has gotten the 6.0 up to snuff. I haven't driven one yet, i am afraid to drive on a Ford lot with my 7.3 for fear of being mugged by desperate salesmen...! Everyone i have met who drives the 6.0 loves it, but i have met some people who aren't driving it anymore because they hated it. I guess the jury is still out... i still wish they had kept the 7.3...

My truck is at 100k miles. I was under the truck checking things out last night and noticed that there was no leaks other than the leak from the oil drain screw. I'll just replace the screw and washer to stop the leak.
Everything seems to be in good condition at the 100k miles mark.
I was told the 6.0 is A LOT faster than than the 7.3 though.
But the way diesel fuel prices are going up, I'm okay with being slower.
Keeping the rpm's below 2k is a sure way to gain mpg though.

hodgekuter,
i am really glad to here your 05 is getting that kind of mileage..! That means ford is getting the 6.0 squared away...!
what are you running for tranny and rear end..? what kind of speed/rpm are you doing on the highway...?
