7.3's

2 - 7.3's - wouldn't trade either of them one @ 78K the other @60K.

I just think the engines will outlast the trans, rear ends & frame/body that are around 'em.

7.3 bought new, 140,000 on her now. Can't wait till she's finally broke in. Only basic repairs. Would buy a new one if I could.

7.3 PSD. My only regret is I don't have enough money to do all the mods that my PMS is urging me to do.

V10 - 7 years old - 30K miles, but almost all stop-and-go except about 5K miles. No issues.

Doesn't use or leak oil, runs great.

had a 7.3....traded it for the 6.4. I loved the 7.3. But I like the 6.4 better. Its quieter and has more power fuel mileage ain't worth a *$%%&^ though.

Also have a 6.0 that seems to be a good runner. Wish Ford would put the 6.0 in the Expedition.
