The middle one (white one) is the one I'd be interested in, I may call that dude later today.

So I always see things about the 7.3 turbo , what about the 6.4? any good?

I'm also looking for a diesel truck but my shopping range is 20-25k

Well it looks like I may have to go with an F350 instead of the F250, since I cant find shit. Damn this search.

Very few minor differences. You could rebadge either and not know what was what.

Well, I went and looked at a truck on Saturday in Richmond and it was a no go. More beat up than I had hoped, but it was also slow to start when it was warm, had a stretched gear shift cable, and the coolant sensor didnt work, among other small things.

IM STILL IN THE HUNT, 4X4 FAGS, HELP ME OUT.

Is there an awesome website Im missing out on that has all these 7.3l trucks for sale? Im not finding shit worth my while anywhere. Craigslist, autotrader, cars.com, nothing is having what Im wanting.

Man, i'm in the hunt myself and having the same troubles. I think it's just one of those sit and wait kinda deals. (at least thats what it feels like cause the more I look, the less I find)

Well, a quick update on my vehicle buying situation..

I still havent found shit. Ive opened my options up more now with trying to find 03'+ Cummins diesels. I am trying to figure out what goes wrong with them though, so any help with their problems would be awesome.
