Hi Redd,

Kinda hard to give you any help as you didn't say what use you had for your new truck. I did a cost comparrision on a reg cab SWR vs CC DRW and it was 7% more for the CC DRW in 2k2.

For mileage the 6.0 gets slitghtly better fuel mileage than the 7.3. I believe the key to great fuel mileage is the driving style of the owner. I get consistantly 19.2mpg empty and 14.1mpg pulling 16k GCW with my F350 7.3 DRW.

Any drivebywire diesel is very picky on how it's driven for fuel mileage.

I would get the camper package with the 3:73 ratio. There's not many options on the drivetrain.
