as a technician who knows many ford techs and spends time on a ford tech only web site i do not know anybody that can run fast enough to trade me a sick-0 leaker that is older than a 2006 for my 7.3 i know this sounds bad but it is my opinion from what i have seen.

Although my 04 has been awesome, (one of the good ones hopefully) I wouldnt recemend anyone to buy anything but an 06 or newer, too much of a risk. Im actually finding my self looking for a super nice 01-03 7.3 
I cant afford one of the typical 6.0 problems after the 100k warrenty is out...

Get it. They are the best motor out there to mod... If your going to run it and drive it there is nothing to be afraid of. There are very few 03's and 04's that have had "repeat" issues. What you have is a bunch of guys who read about a few people that had issues that come to a forum to vent.
We have 4 in our fleet, 03's and 04's and none of them have been in the shop for more then a day at a time and not one has had the cab off... Drive them and drive them hard and they will run forever...
