That 7.3 ford sounds like a good deal. I've got 248k on my '95 7.3, and 145 on my '96 7.3. I've have had nary a problem with either one. The auto trans are a bit of an issue, I have consistently worn them out after between 90-125k. Cost about $2500 to have a factory rebuild job. Spent $3500 to have my last one built with all the HD goodies, hope it lasts a bit longer, but mostly did it so it would handle the extra ponies the chip got me. Hauled 20k GCVW 250 miles last week over 3 major mtn passes and just kept chuggin along. I have limited experience with the Ford manuals although my '88 had a 5 speed. Heard good things. Dodge has a good drivetrain. Don't care for the body/interior. Drove a girlfriends '03 Dodge about 7 hrs straight, to trade it in on a newer Ford. Was just about crippled when I got there, and I'm just a kid. The ford was WAAAY more comfortable on the trip home. I think you'll be dissapointed in both the fuel economy of the V10 and with the lack of power in the little V8. This is a biased opinion. As I have never owned anything but ford diesels, and likely never will.

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.
