2000 7.3 or 04 6.0 both less than 140K Both same condition and options. Only pulling I will do is boat or camper. 7.3 is $1k higher but it has a winch on front end. What yall think - which will get better MPG Thanks

7.3 for sure
My bullet proof 6.0 was in the shop every 6 months.
There is a reason why a newer truck costs less than the older one -

Except that the 6.0 outperforms the 7.3 every day of the week in towing and racing...Originally posted by Hoggslayer View Post
Agreed, if its truly bulletproofed take the 6.0. 7.3 will get better milage though..
Send me a picture of the head stud/bolt and I'll tell you if its bulletproofed or not. Also look on the front of the intake manifold if there is a block off plate or and egr valve still in there.Comment

But you HAVE to make sure it's been bulletproofed.Comment

So what you are saying is the 7.3L is the better choice for his circumstances.Comment

Do you want a half a million mile truck that won't leave you stranded, then go 7.3. If you want to roll the dice and hope the 6.0 has been pretty much rebuilt in the hopes that it won't leave you stranded, 6.0 is the way to go! Just for the record I sold my 7.3 to a tbh with 361,000 and it is still running strong.Comment
