A bit of advice for the Open-Minded folks:
1. The old-school International 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel engines are the most reliable V-8 engines that Ford ever installed in their trucks
2. There are 100’s of thousands of those 7.3 Powerstrokes still on the road today, hauling loads, serving farmers and ranchers; 20+ years later
3. Out of all the 20 year old trucks, the International 7.3 has the highest Blue Book value; only to be rivaled by the Cummins 5.9
