Build a good ol 7.3
I'd build the 7.3 personally. Throw 05 up axles under it or 4 link air ride. Maybe upgrade seats depending on trim level. Sound deaden the interior to death. Build a nice custom sound system for it. Put a bts/jw full build in with some 250/200s , s468 and all supporting mods and drive the crap out of it. Drop 15k in it and have the same luxury as the newer trucks with good usable power. What luxury do the newer trucks 08-10 have other then seats, maybe climate control and spring setup?
Sent from my x2 chillin in the middle of no where
I bought my 08 for 21 out the door.. just saying. If you do all that in the above post, your going to spend well over 20k to get there. Save your self some time and money.
And have a way nicer truck
I own both and theres no way in hell Id throw money at a 7.3 just to make it 450-500 horse. Thats like wiping before you sh!t.
Dont get me wrong, I really like the 7.3 for what I use it for, a beater/work truck. It gets the job done.
Theres just no way Id spend the money on it to make 500hp when I could spend the same and be in a nicer truck.
If you want overall comfort and performance while still keeping it reliable.......tuner, intake, exhaust, egr delete on a 6.4. As long as you keep up with it as you would any other diesel, youll be fine.
No amount of money can make a 99-03 truck comparable to a 2011-12
I just wouldnt want to deal with emission troubles. I would keep the 7.3
Gare in a 6.7.... ooooh yeeeeaaa
I just wouldnt want to deal with emission troubles. I would keep the 7.3
The reason i want a new one is because too many idiot rednecks buy 7.3 and want to roll coal. Its like the new 12 valve cummins and i don't like associated with that crowd
