its cause ford doesn't know a good thing when they have it. they did away with the 7.3, sold off what little bit of cummins shares they had back in the day, and got rid of sterling.(The bullet looks pretty sweet.) I see a little trend here.

Also, the 7.3 wouldn't meet the new stupid diesel emissions BS. Thank God I have a 7.3...It just turned 140K

Default Getting back

to what I was saying. They spent 2 years trying to get a 7.3 to run with an egr due to the epa requirments. I think its better they did away with it cuz it went down as a legend. Not some terd that they wrecked!

You can, it just cost alot more $$$ with a 7.3 to power it up. A 6.0 is a cheaper to get the same power out of.
