I'm with you on that. As tempting as some of the later trucks are, I have a huge soft spot for my old dinosaur.

Sometimes I think that it's a bad soft spot to have. It's like a disease. I love my 7.3...

I did too, until I really did some homework. You and I have similar setups under the hood, other than my single turbo...it's pretty much bullet proof, no? I've got 63k ish mileage on this engine, and the only issues I've had is couple flexplates, and recently a convertor. I'll take the little bumpier ride, and engine noise to not have to be preoccupied about melting and cracking pistons, or having to take the cab off.

Not hating, just sayin...

Roflmao, I am waiting for the same. Speaking of injectors, did that injector prize work out for you?

Yea I contacted full force and he said I could upgrade to whatever I want, just need to pull the trigger
I'm worried I'll have trans problems shortly after- they will be detuned whatever I get. I have the trango tugger kit but I'll probably need a TC too

Go 200% nozzle and don't look back! Tune it back so you're trans can live until you get a BTS in there.

Glad to hear that worked out well for you! Just tell him to burn the same tunes on all the positions.

It should be bullet proof for the price tag! Haha!
My 2WD Dually has a pretty good ride, no leafs in the front here. So I can't complain!
I do love the sound, look, and reliability of my 7.3.
