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.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
