[QUOTE="mcutler, post: 666098, member: 1641"] [b]Re: Re: Flatbed or regular bed???????[/b] 7.3 is most durable, least power of course. 6.0 was deleted, but still in the shop some for blowing injector o-rings frequently. 6.4 is the best power and 5r110 best transmission... but I have blown 2 pistons, calling for boring .030. Frankly, I worry the least with the v10... and it's cheaper to repair, rebuild, and maintain than all the diesels... Just keep in mind it doesn't quite pull like a diesel. I've had all 3 makes in last 12 years in business- close to a million miles towing 20k+, from 12 valve to 24v crd, (3) 6.6 dmax, 6.4, 6.0, 7.3, and v10. I won't build any more common rails of any brand in the future. Gas or 12 valve for durability and economics from now on.... but definitely will be using '05 up f450 4x4 chassis for suspension and brakes and 19.5 tires, and best of all - turning radius... you can really manipulate a trailer in reverse with these. Been in Fords for last 4 years due to cheaper on parts than Chevy/ duramax and crappy dodge trans and chassis. Next work truck build will be 05 up f450 crew chassis length, 85 Chevy 3+3 crew cab, my own flatbed, either 12 valve/ 47rh or Chevy ls 6.2/4l80/6l80/ Allison.
