Message: [QUOTE="sootie, post: 1498043, member: 8162"] Sorry, i dont go off what others say about them, i go by personal experience. We ran them in fleet applications (still do) and by far they get the best mileage and we have very very few issues with them. Of course, farmers typically have a slightly different idea of "good maintenance" than corporations that keep their trucks running down the road... If your 7.3 is faster than your six oh, your six oh has issues. Babying a six liter is about the worst thing you can do to it. Think back in time, around 03 is when diesel tech really took off. We had the transition on many different platforms from mechanical to electronic. Along with that came a learning curve for the techs. most of the 6.0's bad rep came from misdiagnosed issues and parts being thrown at them because most guys didnt have a clue how to fix them. The other thing to remember is the introduction of emissions equipment. That was unproven and a learning curve for manufacturers. Be assured, if someone slapped EGR on a 7.3, can you imagine how gutless they would be and how gummed up the engines would get??? Instead of blaming the engine, attempt to understand the slightly larger picture. That being said, im not blind to the fact there are seemingly inherent issues that should be less common with them, and are non existent on other platforms. I still dont see these engines as turds and wouldnt hesitate to run one personally at any point. [/QUOTE]
