denwood, the first year Ford 6 litre had alot of problems, they all had electrical/computer problems that for a while the dealers couldn't fix. I saw one on a lot a 3500 dump, with 12000 miles, spotless. I asked if it was forsale, they said no, it was going to be crushed as soon as Ford picked it up. No one was allowed to buy it at any price, they wanted it off the street.Another one with 20,000 miles at a dealer was marked so low and was in such good shape I had to try it out, it didn't idle and ran like it was about to blow. The 7.3's didn't leak oil but the oil pans rust out which you have to remove the engine to change. As far as Dodge, the delivery truck that delivered my 10 ton trailer was a Dodge, he had 36,000 lbs of trailers stacked on behind. I asked him how long he thought he could get away with that, he said, that it had a boost kit on the turbo, it was I believe a 2002 or 03 and had 303,000 miles on it, he said he thought it was doing pretty good, where, that all it has ever done is haul those kind of loads all over the country.He has had no problems so far.
