Hey, I was wonderin if someone could give me a comparison between the 5.4, v-10, and psd. Right now i have a '00 5.4 in an f250. what im looking for is something like this
----------------------------------------------------
| year | HP | Torque | hw/city/towing MPG ---------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
| 2000-ish 2 valve gas motors and 7.3 of that time |
|--------------------------------------------------|
| 5.4 |____|________|_________________________|
| 6.8 |____|________|_________________________|
| 7.3 |____|________|_________________________|
|--------------------------------------------------|
| New 3 valve motors and 6.0 PSD------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
| 5.4 |____|________|_________________________|
| 6.8 |____|________|_________________________|
| 6.0 |____|________|_________________________|
---------------------------------------------------|

dad's lookin for a new truck (doesn't like the current 5.4) hes mainly lookin for around an 03 and newer v10 or 7.3/ 6.0 diesel. and he keeps asking me questions about them all so i figured this would solve our curiosity. hopefully.

another short question: Can you order a truck wit hthe plastic floor instead of the carpet. last two trucks have been and love it. real easy to clean. (farming...hunting...mud...) makes truck look good to.
thanks for everything, Garrett

Sorry, I can't answer any of your other questions though. (All I know is that if it ain't got a manual trans and a 5.4L in it, I ain't buyin' it.)
