Message: [QUOTE="pennsylvaniaboy, post: 541682, member: 7905"] So I am looking at upgrading from my OBS.... I have a 7.3 idi with 270k. I am tossing around the idea of a 7.3 truck with either auto or manual Or a 6.0 with auto or manual. I keep hearing that the 6.0 is horrible, expensive, and unreliable. But at the same time I have heard that with some deletes and a tuner, the 6.0's hit higher horsepower than the 7.3 for the same money....I have also heard that the auto trans in the 6.0 are much better, than the 4R100's.. Here is the thing, my IDI is deadnuts reliable, easy to work on etc. From what I know the 7.3 can be worked on by the average Joe, the 6.0 is supposedly much harder to trouble shoot, and work on. And very troublesome.... I guess my question is, I can find 6.0s for very reasonable prices, with decent mileage, for better prices than 7.3s for similar mileage.... But are they really that bad?
