You're gonna need a tuner to get decent fuel mileage.....well worth the $$......plus you'll need gauges for it if you tow

I've been gone for quite a while. Work, family, team, all taking up all of my time...
After much soul searching, reading, research and debate, I think I've finally decided on my next rig.
I'm in the same boat as 2muchjunk
A diesel excursion will fit my needs perfectly! (guess they don't make a duramax Suburban?).
So now I have to find one at the right price. And I too have no freakin' idea what I'm looking at?
Let me ask a stupid question right off the bat and feel free to
me if the need arises.
I've seen threads where you have to pull the cab to do some of the repairs/mods on the pick 'em ups....
Is the same thing required of the Ex? That's gotta be a major PITA!
If you don't mind, I'll probably be lurkning in this section more than anywhere else on the forum and hoping to learn a few things
Thanks

Thats one thing I am wondering about the 6.0. I know on the 6.0 super duty you have to pull the cab to do any work. It's not that bad of a job because ford designed it to be pulled off. The only problem is you need a 2 post lift and I don't have one of them in my driveway. I don't think you have to do that with the 7.3. So I am thinking of going to the old reliable 7.3.

That's exactly what I was talking about
I too think I'm going to look for a 7.3. Seen plenty of them around and they seem to have a great track record. Won't be a DD, so don't have to worrk too much about fuel economy. It'll by primarily a team truck to tow the boats and such.
