LOL.. I'm just tired of the 03-04 was horrible chat.. We got guys on here with 03's that haven't even toasted an ICP.. Than we have some that do.. It varies, but that doesn't mean the whole entire 03-04 line is crap..

Can't help em all tho...

Prob because the value of his 07 is high enough to somewhat come out good on an earlier truck.. If you compare an 07 Reg Cab XL Gas to an 07 Crew Cab PSD Dually, MAJOR price gap.. He might not have the means to cover that gap so he's having to look lower in the year to break even.. It happens.. Nothing wrong with that..

You gotta do what you have to for the time being..

The location of the ICP sensor determines if it is a late or early built 6.0L engine not the label.

My dad said that buy now any of the problem childs have gotten the problems worked out and the techs know how to work on them now. He is a certified ford diesel tech. I would get a oasis on it and then if it has a clean oasis and the if the trucks in good shape and you like it go for it. I personally would go 2-3 older as long as I wasn't losing any power, towing capability or anything like that to get a little nicer truck. Just like my dad did he almost bought a 97 F-150 reg cab, 4.6L 4x4 XL, but he bought the truck in my sig and it was 3 years old and it towed just as much, it was just nicer and had more people room and we haven't regreted that choice yet.

d8chumley - i see we are close. I'm 10 minutes down 422 from you.
What ranch hand bumpers do you have? I have the rear 8" now and I have been thinking about a bullnose for the front but I am concerned about my plow setup being in the way.
