Message: [QUOTE="Puil00, post: 1498077, member: 29750"] Ok, let me explain my ultimate plan for this truck. It is currently my daily driver and I also use it to work with but I bought this truck to be my dream truck. When I picture my dream truck it is either a 92-97 OR 05-07 body style, dually, quad cab, 8 foot bed, 4x4, diesel, with a stick. This truck is everything I'm looking for minus the stick. I want to trick this truck out and make it my own. This thing is going to be my forever truck. I want my kids asking to barrow this thing to go to the prom because it's AWESOME and they are ages 10, 8, and 5. Now I know having a project truck can get expensive but my plan is to do a little bit at a time over a few years to help spread the cost out and make it manageable. My concern is/the reason why I have been asking about the motor is I want to also tweak the motor to get more out of it. This thing is going to be my toy and I want to have fun. I'm not looking to go extreme like the guys that are turning 1000+ horse but I want more than stock. I know that the 7.3 will hold up to that if taken care of but with all the issues I've been having will the 6.0 hold up to that? My confidence in the 6.0 has been shaken and I don't want to spend the time and the money making the truck look the way I want it to, to have it not run because the motor is junk. So back to my original post. I don't know what to do with this thing. Between buying the truck and all the repairs I've had to do just to keep it running this thing has cost me a fortune. Do I sink more money into this to try and make the 6.0 a solid motor, or do the swap with the 7.3, or get out of it now and buy a different truck? [/QUOTE]
