MossflowerWoods said:What years were the 7.3 stroke available?
I can easily be convinced
I won't brand bash, but I'm not interested in Dodge or Chevy & Toyota does not make a 1-ton...
Besides, my reasoning is partially financial (I own Ford stock), and partially political (Bailout of GM and Chrysler killed them for me forever).
But in my lifetime I have owned WAY more Fordproducts than any other brand...

Will you stick to your convictions when the Ford is in the shop?
If you buy used, all the stuff that happened u mentioned had not happened yet! Heck the Germans owned Chrysler then! Lol!
I agree... Wish Toyota made a 1 ton diesel!

Just for the record...
After this thread and some other threas I've been following. After talking to one of my tenants who drives an F-250 7.3 4x4 4 door.
I have officially decided I am looking for a 7.3 (unless I win the lottery then a brand new 2011 with extended warranty will arrive).
I just need to figure out which of the 7.3's I am looking for.
Thanks guys. You all rock!

PSD = PowerStroke Diesel
and others you may come across in your diesel search:
CTD = Cummins Turbo Diesel
OBS = old body style (ford, 1992-1997)
SD = Super Duty (ford, 1999-present)
