I think the real test will be the LTL haulers who run their trucks loaded to the max every day. If the 6.7 can pass those tests with minimum down time it will be as good as the Cummins.

Agreed. And then I'll finally be able to buy a new truck. Till then, I'll just keep throwing money in to my 6.0 to fix it when it breaks.

I loved the 12v engine, nvg trans, and dana axles in my last truck. Of course, everything else about it I hated.

I have a 2000 7.3. Great truck......

I have to agree.

Looking now for a 7.3 Ex to pull and haul a crew.

7.3 is tough to beat.

Dinosaurs lasted 60,000,000 years. :angry-smiley-038: :p

Stay away from the 6.0 like everyone else has mentioned.

You cannot go wrong with the 7.3... I had two of them and had no major problems at all.

In my opinion nothing like the torque of I-6. My dream truck would be the Super Duty Crew Cab, Cummins motor and Allison Transmission!:evilb:
