I would not trade my V10 for the same year PSD in the same shape, and I would still go with the V10 if the price was the same. That said, if I had the chance to trade it for the new 6.7 I would in a heart beat.

Honestly, I would take my 5.4(or a 7.3 or v10) over the 6.0 or the 6.4 even if they were the same price. The 6.0 has too many issues for me to want to deal with it and the 6.4 is not going to be fun to work on when the warranty runs out. Like Bill said though, the 6.7 looks promising and may get me back on board with the psd. I just want to see if it sticks around more than 2-3 years before they change engines again.

Come on Bill, if the PSD was the same price, how can you say you would rather have the v10? You would automatically get 5 to 6 mpg better and though you don't think so, you would pull loads better... hehehe

I can destroy a V10 and pay cash for a reman.
I can't do that with a PSD. Talking about 200K+ work trucks that matters to me. With my use the PSD would not get 5-6 better.

I believe as I have stated before.....Everyone has a right to their opinion as to what is better for them be it Ford, Chevy or Dodge...Gas or Diesel.
I am sure the V10 will pull just fine...or the PSD will pull just fine.
However, I do enjoy watching and sometimes contributing to this thread. LOL

Honestly, would that matter much unless you collect broken engines and scatter them around your front yard? I'll await the answer with bated breath though....

Kind of like when psd guys compare oil change prices and they use conventional for theirs and synthetic for the gasser. Or they use the price it costs them to change their glow plugs at home compared to what a gasser paid to have their spark plugs changed at the dealer.
