Hey Allen,
Between my dad and I, we own 3 powerstrokes (7.3).
A 99 350 crew, a 2000 350 crew, and a 96 250 straight cab (shop/snowplow truck). All of them have between 120,000 and 150,000 miles on them.
Other than routine stuff, we haven`t had any real problems with the 350`s. The 250 we bought right, but had to stick some money in. Seems the guy before was messing around with the computer, and bent over 8 pins on the connector, new puter and she came back to life. I`m pretty sold on em.
Good milage, pull really good, and not bad riding trucks. I`ve pulled about everything with mine, with no problems. BIL has an 04 350 w/6.0. That`s the only one I`ve had experience with to compare against. Seems the 6.0 is alittle guttier from a start, but I pulled the horse trailer with his, and in hills it didn`t seem to have the torque my 7.3 has. In HP and torque the 6.0 is rated higher, but we know that don`t mean everything. If I was looking for another used truck, I`d definately look at the 7.3 over the 6.0, but that`s what I`ve owned and been treated good by. Hope this helps Brokenwrench
