7.3 vs 6.0 psd
I am considering a powerstroke, but cannot make up my mind
which one I want. I found a 2002 F250 with the 7.3 in it, 46000
miles. This truck will be used for towing a 6500+ lbs. of travel
trailer, to the mountains and to the coast. This is my first psd.
Which is the best, old or new?

I have been hearing that the 6.0L has problems consistent with an engine being new, i.e. bugs. I think that it is sound advice to never buy an vehicle with a new engine the first year that it is out. For the 6.0L, it may be 2 years. On the other hand, my neighbor has one, and he also had a '99. He says that the 6.0L runs circles around the '99, and he is quite happy with it. I personally would wait until atleast mid to late 2004 to buy one (assuming that I could afford one).

I might wait til mid 2004 and see how the new 6.0 works out.
I have been looking at the numbers and they are right impressive.
I am not in need of a new truck at this time. My 2000 F150 pulls
my present camper really well. The 5.4 with the K&N air injection
and the HIPO mass air sensor and the FlowMaster exhaust gets
me 11.4 mpg while towing. The 30 ft. camper I tow weighs approx. 5100 unloaded. I am really pleased with the truck I have,
but thought about getting the 2002 7.3 I found,before they all dissappear
