Thought I would bring this back up to the front for the possibility of a little more discussion or a new poster that doesn't go back far enough to see the original question. Had a lot of good replies, but here is a little more light on the subject to see about some further educated discussion.
I realize the truck I have is same as new. 87K miles and looks and drives like a new one. However, I can also get the best trade value out of it right now. Keeping in mind that it is 12 years old. Some of you know I have the draft horses I pull around some, and I always feel better in a newer truck with livestock, of any kind. Newer may break down more, but definitely feel like there is a better chance it won't. It's one thing to break down with a tractor on a trailer on a 100F+ day, it's a whole other breaking down when you have livestock in the middle of an interstate highway.
Having said that, I know to those of you who have the older 460' and 454's in 3/4 and 1 tons have a complete different cat than the newer injected engines, thus they don't really play into what I am looking for. I am looking for those who have experience with the newer gassers. Most of the gassers (and there isn't many in the 2010-2013 range) appear to have the 3:73 gears. The couple I looked at with 4:10 are sold, while the 3:73's are still around which makes me think the 3:73's rob too much power.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
