Purchase Question

I currently own a 2003 Excursion 7.3, and 3 F450 Stakebody 7.3's, and most recently a 2004 F450 Stakebody 6.0. I absolutely love the 7.3's they are perfect. I purchased my 6.0 prior to plow season and it cost me thoudands in downtime. 3 failed injectors, overheating and currently an intermittent starting problem(you have to turn the key about 50 times before the starter turns). I am now choosing between a F250 8 foot pick-up gas or diesel. The cost difference is 5000 but I am unsure the new 6.0 is worth the trouble. Any thoughts?

Re: Purchase Question

You may want to test drive a gasser F250. I thought it was WAY UNDERPOWERED. 17,000 miles on my '05 diesel and nothing is broken yet. Drive several before you buy one. They all run different, VERY different. Good luck. I agree on the 7.3 but there are many good 6.0 engines out there.
