    2000-2003 F250 Superduty for a summer trip

    Based solely on the badging I'd say with a fair amount of certainty that that rig is a 6.0. 6L's are ok if you fix the egr and oil coolers before they destroy the hg's and or heads. injectors can be problematic. It doesnt seem like too bad of a deal but I would want to see an OASIS report to see...

    Need help pls: PW vs '03 7.3 vs '11 6.7

    Trailblazer Vs 96 Powerstroke Vs 99 Powerstroke. What should i do?

    Id say the 96. The 99 powerstroke has more refinements engine wise (injectors, turbo and related plumbing) but without serious and extensive service records I'd be scared of the 283K miles. My late 99 stroke has around 230k, and runs like a champ but I know exactly what has and has not been done...
