Hi 6.5 is very un popular round me way to many guys had problems with them, the bottom end is weak on turbo motors. I now 1 guy that had one. it was a very nice truck, but he traded it for a Duramax before it gave trouble when extended warranty package ran out.
Biggest problem with the 7.3 will be the truck being worn out, on low budget ones. I got mine for $3000 nice looking body but steering/ front 4x4 axle, brakes and suspension were shot. I put $8000 in it doing work my self, so in it for $11.000. it is high KMS 538.000, p.o beat the daylights out of it for no maintenance in 400.000 he put on it. but a better investment than a 6.0 next generation with half the KMS due to repair costs on that pile of junk motor. 7.3 will make more of the money of 04 6.0 round here. Have heard of a few guys say 7.3 heads can crack and some have had tranny problems. later 7.3s like clean oil in the motor for hi pop oil pump and injectors. Yes they can be expensive if you get problems and to service. But I love my 99 and what I can tow with it. goes like a smacked rat, Kinda think the p.o put a power chip in but haven't found it. on a good run its getting about 20 mpg, on an auto trans. Regards Robert
