I've been waiting to trade up from my '99 because I hear nothing good about the 6.0 or 6.4. Plus I thought it was strange that the newer engines got the same or worse MPG then the 7.3. In fact with an engine modification, I knew people that would get around 22 MPG with a crew cab F 350.

Starting with the aluminum heads, and continueing on from there.

We purchsed a new 2006 F-250 Superduty diesel 4x4 in April 2006. Since then it's in the shop at least 3 times a year. Fuel injectors failing even after adding fuel additive Ford recommends, fuel module failure. Now it's started running rough again after just being in the shop 2 weeks ago. Yesterday it starting revving up and then starts to die. You'll have the pedal to the floor and you're driving about 20 miles an hour, and then all of a sudden it will accelerate. Time for another trip to the shop!
