Why is this? Did you upgrade to a different truck? Or just tied of the wrenching?

Just tired of that truck. When I was 23 it was awesome, by 25, not so much. I wasn't a dd, it rode like as$, was an extended cab. I really wanted a crew cab and if I went with a new truck there was no way it was gonna be a 15 year old truck. I don't even have a truck right now. I'll prolly buy a cheap 6.0 at an auction and build somethin else. Ill never dd a truck again though probably.

Some days I wake up and all I think about getting the 7.3 in the 11's. Then someday I try to figure out how much I could get by parting it out. It's a love hate thing with the 7.3!

I fight the same thing. I'm about to buy either an Audi A4, Porsche 911 or a Nissan Z350, so we will see. I'm not giving up on my 7.3 compound turbo dram, but it might assume back seat status, where I can let the truck go for months to be tested and tuned.
Life in SoCal demands a convertible coupe, imho.
