RickW -

I too loved my 7.3L automatic - until I bought the 6.0L automatic in 2006. Aside from the early 6.0 issues, this TorgueShift 5-speed tranny, staged turbo, and integrated brake controller makes this truck a real pleasure to tow with. The wife will even drive this one.

Every once in a while I miss the brute force of the 7.3L, but not often.
I agree the Torque shift with Tow-Boss is a sweat setup but still not sold on the 6.0 or 6.4. Plus now you have all the emission equipment added on to complicate things.

I am a buy'em and drive'em until the wheels fall off kinda guy. Even towing heavy I think the 7.3l has a ways to go before it gives up. Plus not having a truck payment for the past 5 years makes it hard to want to jump in to a new one
