nice... the 7.3's are good motors, its the 6.0's that you should run fromcame damn close to getting a diesel today.
01' f250 with the 7.3 turbo. drove it and all that, but couldnt quite make the numbers work.
pretty nice trucks though, might end up going back for it if its still around.
saleenster, you have an s-10 right?
im looking at an 03 s-10 ls, 4x4, automatic. its got low miles, decent price.
what are you getting for mileage? i read online 16 city, 22 hwy, is that on par or does it do even worse?
rangers seem to be off the list, so maybe ill look into the s-10 with the 4.3 more if anyone reports back with mileage. otherwise, guess ill hold out for diesel
the cummins eats up manual trannys just as fast... and for a nv5600 6spd its around 4k for a rebuilt unit not including a clutch wich can be anywhere from 700 to 1500... wich is still around a fully built auto with a converter If I could do it over again I would bought an auto since its a royal pain to keep the turbo spooled with stick, specially offroadI got my '02 F250 7.3 4x4 6spd for 21 large from a local lot. It works good and gets better mileage than my stang. Plus Diesel is cheaper than gas right now, and you can always run Biodiesel. Diesels also seem to get the same mileage loaded or unloaded. A Dodge will be cheaper and likely get better mileage due to the smaller displacement. Just stick with the stick. Cummins are notorious for eating automatics. If you can afford it though, my vote is for a 02 or 03 7.3, as they were the pinnacle of Ford Diesels IMHO. I had a '00 Auto Powerstroke before the '02, and the '02 is a my better rig. RUN FROM THE 6.0. Forget the gas burner.
im just going to keep looking for a few weeks and decide.
for the mean time, my 450 is getting spoiled everyday almost with more crap for it.

I shift it as fast as it lets me... most of the time I shift too fast for the tranny lolYou shift too slow.I lose no boost with my 6spd. What's your problemo?
I went ahead and cut em... and managed to knick the freakin gas tankif anyone knows of a fuel tank for a yfz that I can borrow till my new one gets here, hopefully by mid next week... lemme know I need one bad for this sunday and then the 4 days at winchester next weekend if the one I ordered doesnt show up in time
I was able to do some redneck plastic welding with a soldering torch and some plastic I found that was a match to the tankJust JB that biznitch. It'll hold for a week or two.
