[QUOTE="co04cobra, post: 544538, member: 666"] I just replied last night in this thread [url]http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28569[/url] about it. Problem with the 6.0 is the stigma that goes with it. I am not scared of the 6.0s. I know they can be made to be a great engine. BUT convincing my customers of that, instead of listening to every other Tom, Dick, and Harry's horror story about one, is a different issue. I am actually considering to start to advertise the swap locally. The other part is nobody wants to hear "you need to spend 5K+ on this truck to make it reliable" Also, "bulletproofed" 6.0s still DO fail sometimes. So you get that guy that just dropped 5K+ on having it done a year ago, and hes not going back with a 6.0 NO MATTER WHAT you offer him. Usually at this point hes to upside down in the truck to sell or trade it. Back to OP easiest answer. Donor truck. SWAP EVERYTHING all wiring, etc... etc.. Just about everything is still there to bolt all of the 7.3 stuff up. Last one I did I left the complete 05 dash and made a harness to go from the old style radio plug to the 05 radio. A few other wiring changes depend on years. If using an 01 back wiring harness you need to splice a small piece of the firewall in where the PCM and connectors go through. 02-03 7.3 harness go right through any 02-07 cab the same way. If leaving newer style dash, with a 01 back harness you need to splice a pigtail on for the new headlight switch. Last one I did was an 06 truck and I left all the new suspension, but had to have one hose made up from the steering box to hydroboost. I took several pictures of these swaps, but I really suck at adding pics on here. Maybe If I email them to someone else they can post and Ill do a play by play. Hope that helps. Its not a real hard swap just a little time consuming. [/QUOTE]
