That 7.3 ford sounds like a good deal. I've got 248k on my '95 7.3, and 145 on my '96 7.3. I've have had nary a problem with either one. The auto trans are a bit of an issue, I have consistently worn them out after between 90-125k. Cost about $2500 to have a factory rebuild job. Spent $3500 to have my last one built with all the HD goodies, hope it lasts a bit longer, but mostly did it so it would handle the extra ponies the chip got me. Hauled 20k GCVW 250 miles last week over 3 major mtn passes and just kept chuggin along. I have limited experience with the Ford manuals although my '88 had a 5 speed. Heard good things. Dodge has a good drivetrain. Don't care for the body/interior. Drove a girlfriends '03 Dodge about 7 hrs straight, to trade it in on a newer Ford. Was just about crippled when I got there, and I'm just a kid. The ford was WAAAY more comfortable on the trip home. I think you'll be dissapointed in both the fuel economy of the V10 and with the lack of power in the little V8. This is a biased opinion. As I have never owned anything but ford diesels, and likely never will.

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
