its a 7.3 and rebuilding or replacing transmission will be more cost effective then buying the dodge and your psd is something to hold onto for a while

Look at it this way your trans rebuild could be anywhere from 3-5 grad if you get a built that's what I'd do, or sell your truck for maybe 5 grand if your lucky with a bad trans. Then buy a decent cummins 12+ thousand, and if it doesn't have a built trans another 3-5 grand to build one. Cummins are good motors, that's it in my book, fords are all around good vehicles.keep the ford and build it.
