powerstroke diesel question: 7.3L or 6.0L
ok so im in the market for an F-250 / F350 single rear wheel. what i cannot decide is what to go with as far as year / engine. i've heard horror stories about the 7.3L transmission and 6.0L headstuds / EGR system.
on one side i want something a little newer (looking at an 05 crew cab) and on the other side i also want something reliable.
opinions? thoughts? experiences? anything would be helpful

Also something to consider diesel's are expensive to maintain and if and when something breaks everything is expensive lol. Well take that back they are if you bring them to a stealership (maintaince wise).
parts are expensive reguardless.

working at a ford dealership for 10+ years people swear by the 7.3 being the one to have, the 6.0's you either had a good one or you got a bad one the tranny's on the 7.3 had some problems but they've offered a HD tranny for a replacement for awhile and if the tranny has ever been replaced its probably had a HD replacement which i havent heard any bad things about them.
or a 7.3 w/ 150k on it.... dealership... clean carfax.... NADA $14k... getting it for $11k
which sounds like a better deal
oh im not too worried about that... i just am trying to minimize potential catastrophes.
