I have a 90 ford 7.3 diesel. As far as I'm concerned, the 7.3 IH is a good motor, it's all the stuff that ford bolted around it that is the problem. My brother in law has a 2001 powerstroke that has 40000 on it nad ahs been in the shop 5 times since he got it. His boss had a 2003 duramax with a 5 speed and 36000 and he is on his 3rd engine. duramaxes are noted for breaking cranks with a stickshift. Also they have problems shutting down under a long hard pull. I have a 79 dodge power wagon that was an old military pickup that I use around the farm that has 321000 on it on the original motor and trans. the poor old truck is falling apart but it just won't die. Have gotten it hot several times and even run it out of oil once an i just can't kill it. I keep telling my wife that when it dies is will park it in the trees and find something else. She has been waiting patiently for 5 years now. Let's face it, I just don't think it's going to get any better. Have a neighbor who restored a 79 ford F-350 extended cab and put a 5.9 cummings from a salvage yard in it with a truck 5 speed. He has about 14000 in it and just loves it. I really belive that is the only choice anymore.
