7.3l powerstroke or v10 - 3/19/2007 1:09:29 PM    jambell13   Posts: 2 Joined: 3/19/2007 Status: offline     Is it worth paying the extra money upfront to buy the powerstroke or would i be better off just getting the v-10. I will occasionally be pulling a 10,000 trailer, i drive about 15k a year and do either of these engines have reoccuring problems like the 6.0l powerstroke has been known to have. Thanks for the help and your input.     James Post #: 1

The V-10 is a head gasket-blowin', gas chuggin P.O.S. _____________________________ 2002 Silverado ecsb 2wd 5.3 4L60E 3.73's G80, headers, tbs, 160 degree tstat, redneck ram-air, dumped exhaust, throttle body bypass, air gap, descreened MAF, 255/65R16, Royal Purple Fluids, A/F gauge, efans Wheatley Tune more. 14s in 1/4 (in reply to jambell13) Post #: 2

I've always had gassers but I luv my 7.3.  However if you're only doing short hops around town a gsser may be what you want.I didn't think I'd use mine for anything except towing my 20ft beavertail but I haven't even started my other vehicles since I bought it. If you do get the 7.3 try to get the intercooled 1 97 and up. _____________________________ 95 F250 PSD (in reply to MrLM7) Post #: 3

I was also in the market to buy a diesel and after allot of research, I just bought a new 2007 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.6 liter Duramax and Allison 6 speed tranny. The power is more than I could have expected. With 365HP and 660Tq, This beast will come unglued. Get an oil burner. I looked hard at the big three and none of them could stack up to the Duramax. I hope this helps your decision. (in reply to new2town47) Post #: 4
