Hi guys--been checking out this site and learning alot. Never had a diesel but a friend of mine did and I couldn't believe the power. I'll be looking for a 1999 -2003 truck with the 7.3. I want to thank you guys and this site for all I have learned so far and look forward to learning more as I purchase and make mods to this truck after I get it. Thanks, Tony

And don't let the Cumamax jockeys scare you off. These mules can make tons of power. I just won a dyno bet with a Cummins buddy of mine with an '06 CR-CTD. I kicked his butt by about 20 HP and 150 ft-lbs. He's now wearing a PowerStroke badge for his FaceBook avatar. LMAO!!

Welcome aboard Tony. Stick around and you'll learn more then you can imagine about the legandary 7.3L PSD, and as Joe (Izzy351) said, you can make tons of power with these motors. He just broke the 1000 rwtq mark!
