You did good. I've heard the 7.3 is a good engine compared to the newer 6.0. the pulling power that you have now offset the diesel prices.

YEP, that ill do it. You won't even know the V is back there with that. Trailer brakes? He don't need no stinkin trailer brakes. Although I'm sure he won't ever sneak up on anyone at the ramp either. My only real complaint about the 7.3L is it is pretty noisy, but they sure are reliable. Just carry a spare CPS and the tools to change it with you at all times. The CPS is the 7.3's achilles heel, but pretty minor compared to most any other engine out there.

So what your trying to say is "You would rather be CUMMIN than STROKIN, but you know to do either you gotta be LIKE A ROCK". Sorry I'm a GM guy, but the 7.3L is a BEAST!

Dmax 365 650 stock(but with some MAJOR torque management). The CUMMINS 600 is supposed to be 325HP according to some reading over at DTR.
