Thanks folks, will be busy this weekend checking for chip and replacing Glow plug relay. Since i already bought a set of glow plugs should I bother replacing them if the relay solves the hard start. bye the way the truck cranks great so batteries should be fine

You can get more power out of either of them the 7.3L is limited by the HEUI system, you can make big HP but you got to spend the money.
If you want a truck that falls apart around you get a Dodge, if you want a car that has a diesel engine in it get a chevy. If you got alot of money laying around get a Cummins for your Ford

I wouldn't fret much. Your 7.3 is going to outlast the others and so will the truck around it. I've owned a Dodge truck. It wasn't a diesel but it had a Hemi and I'll tell ya, it was a piece of chit. Nothing but problems. Sold it to a guy that I work with and he loves it, even though he's constantly working on it.

I believe you are right Andrew, he could always sell us his PSD and go get a Cumpart.
