who has what engine in their sd? Do you have any regrets?

 

So far no regrets here. My 7.3 has been a pretty solid engine, gets decent fuel mileage, and plenty of power.

 

5.4 does what i need it to. doesnt smoke, ping, make any such noise. nothin sounds like a piped v8

 

I bought a used Ebony Black '05 SD XLT CC 5.4 5R110W 3.73 open-diff and am more than happy with it overall. I got a great deal on it but if I had my druthers I wish it was the 7.3 with a manual transmission. They're the only things I'd change. I don't have a lot of experience with the 7.3 but the whole bigger-better theory comes to play.

6.0 here. 48k and not a single problem.

 

v10 here, auto too. I have regrets and wish I still had my 7.3 and 6 speed.

 

6.0 20,000 not one problem so far. Towed many chevys succesfully.

 

V10 here and no regrets what so ever!! i didn't need a diesel, and got a great deal on it at the time! it's pulled everything i've needed it to!

 

2004 5.4 here just turned 60,000 no problems

 

6.0 no regrets oh just one that I don't have enough money for twins.(turbo's)

 

7.3 and i couldn't be happier.
Well not until i get my BTS trans and my DP tunes

 

I have a 5.4 with the six speed in my f250 (2002) and as long as the spark plugs stay put I'll be very happy with the motor. More than enough power for my needs, decent gas mileage compared to the old days.

 

6.0 and without a doubt the best one that I have had.

 

Six 7.3s
Three 6.0s
One 5.4 (F-150 Supercrew).


No regrets with any of them.


I voted 6.0 since that's what I drive the most.

 

6.0 here... 1 EGR cooler 3 turbos 2 fuel leaks 2 injectors changed. At 78K miles now and still lovin it... I have one of the first ones off the line.. So I expected some bugs. Just glad that almost all of this stuff was covered under warranty.
