I will admit that if I couldn't own a 7.3l, I would have a 5.9 cummins

Nice job on 500k

i had a 94 powerlessstroke and now i have a 99 ctd the 5.9 is the big hammer for sure! had problems with both the ford i couldnt keep U joints or carrier bearings in it the cummins the dredded no fuel pressure with that said i will buy another cummins before i will buy anything used, but the new ford looks like a killer truck with a powerhouse of a motor in it so if i had the money to buy new it would prob a new ford!
