I traded a 99 F-250 7.3 like you have for a (see Sig) new 350.There is as much difference as night and day. totally happy with the trade. I had to stop midway up a 7% grade to help a fellow rv'er with a blown tranny in a Dodge. We waited on the tow truck to arrive and get them. I told the wife we will now see what Ford has to offer. We started from a dead stop and topped the grade running 60 mph. The 6.0, and auto never skipped a beat. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
