Im not condoning owning a chevy, but I would look into fixing it, since ya guys allready own it! There is really nothing to them engines, they are simple to figure out when it comes to the problems!
If ya guys do want a real truck though, nothing wrong with the 7.3

It's a decent truck, but it's not really tight. The cab is drafty and the heater isn't all that great plus it's unreliable. None of the gauges work and the frame is all rust. And the floor of the bed is rusted through. And truck prices are VERY low right now so a replacement for that truck should be fairly reasonable.

Oh for sure man, today is a truck buyers dream marketwise!
Ive owned a few of those chevy trucks when I was younger, I know all about the rust, and drafts!
This one truck I had, had a foot sized hole in the passenger side haha. Drove it like that for quite awhile too, then finally yanked the engine out and threw it in this 81 pontiac grand prix I had

Nothing really to add. Just been catching up. After the "bikini" shot I think I need to go gargle and then poke my eyes! Thanks for nothing Lisa!
By the way Pat, Be careful man!

Uhh sorry, Nick.
And by the time he got there he'd be froze to death covered in 3/4" of ice. My back porch says -12 degrees.
Thats good news, but news to me. I thought he wanted a dually pickup.
