[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 3649533, member: 15643"] Lol, this is going to be like which ice cream flavor is your favorite. - simple answer would be any 7.3l, 6.0l or 6.7l....do not even consider a 6.4l, no matter what anyone says do not waste your time or money on one. -longer answer.... the 7.3l was known for it's reliability which most were. Problem being is that now they are old, and if you find a low mileage one, the rest of the truck is still 20y old. They are slow, loud, and are pulling turds compared to the 6.0 6.4 and 6.7. We had a 02' Excursion from almost new to 300k, we spent a lot of money on it and I do 99% of my own work, I'll never have another 7.3l, ours was a money pit. The 6.0l is hated by alot, loved by alot. Great thing about buying a 6.0l now is that if it had any bugs or issues, and it's still on the road, those issues have already been dealt with. You're still looking at getting a 15-20yo truck. The 5sp trans behind the 6.0l was incredible, 1000x better than the 4sp behind the 7.3l. I had an 03' from brand new to 333k, it was a great truck, I didn't have the issues that a lot of 6.0l owners had. I'd have another one if needed. Stay away from the 6.4l..... The 6.7l is awesome, the 11' had a few bugs, but like the 6.0l, those will have been worked out for you. 12'-16' got lots of "issues" resolved and are very solid. 17'-21' are having some electrical issues, bizarre ones too. The 6.7l pulls like two 6.0l, there's zero comparison and it's awesome. My 12' f350 has been great, has 178k miles as of now. So I would say a 06' or 07' deleted and studded 6.0l or a 13'-16' 6.7l that's deleted. 6.0l that sit had troubles, they need to be driven. I've owned every "Ford" diesel from the 6.9l to the 6.7l except for the 6.4l. ALL used diesel trucks are bringing crazy prices right now, just a heads up. [/QUOTE]
