7.3 or 6.0 diesel van buying questions.

If you had the choice of buying a diesel Ford Van with a 7.3 diesel 2003 or earlier or a 6.0 diesel 2004, which one would you choose and why?

What will be the same and what will be different between the models in the bodies, motors, running gear...?

Thanks [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: 7.3 or 6.0 diesel van buying questions.

Since the van 7.3 is significantly less HP then the pickup 7.3 but the 6.0 is equal....no question in my mind, buy the 6.0.

MUCH more power
Better gas mileage
Quieter
Less emissions
