I have 3 between company trucks and my personal truck. The spark plugs could pop out on, I believe, the first 2 years of that engine. Then they added more threads to the cylinder head. Fixed that problem, but then a few years later they then switched to a 2 peice spark plug, which can break when you go to change them at 100,000. Not too big a deal, I still did them myself. The engine certainly is not overpowered, but it gets the job done and is cheap. Price a good used 7.3 diesel truck and you'll see. When I bought my '08 F-350 the diesel option was $7500 extra. I'll go a little slower to save that money, haha. I reguarly pull my John Deere G weighted up to 8000lbs with no problems. Gets down to 45mph climbing the mountains sometimes but that ok. The rest of the truck is as solid as they come.
Now that I've said all this. My uncle bought a new truck with the V-10 when I bought my last 5.4. That truck has decent power and the milage is not bad at all compared to mine. Just running around town and to the barn, I get 13, he gets 11.5-12. But when towing, his stays the same, mine drops to 8. It's got me wishing I would have gotten the V10.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
