If you are not having problems, there is none. The benefits do not out weigh the costs. It simply won't pencil out. I am perfectly happy with my 7.3 at 19 mpg and I have had no issues whatsoever with my 7.3 either. My 99 dodge has the same mileage so there is no gain. I can do much engine work on my 7.3 before the engine swap would even come close to breaking even. That doesn't mean I would not like a 5.9 cummins in my X, but the bottom line, it does not pay. Bragging rights? Name your price.
