DUUUDE this is exactly what i want to replace my diesel with. How much did you get it for? Were the 7.3Ls as in-demand as the diesels? i heard you can't get anything under MSRP right now.
That will look great towing the my wifes JL. Clearly blue is the "in" color.
A guy near me has the blue so I had to go red. Here’s a shot of mine from Milts, so you can see it towing. Ordered mine in December for well less than invoice, I’d hate to price one now.
My 5th gen 2500 with a 6.7 gets above 20 mpg empty but my commute is flat. - Brag complete.
Playing the disability card on bad fuel mileage. Smells like desperation
Modern diesel is complicated and expensive AF! I like the output numbers of the gas 7.3, i don't need 1000 ft-bls to haul my jeep and its a bit cheaper (hoping like the 6.2 gas they lose more value than a 6.7 diesel) and they appear to be built for fleet reliability, lots of starts / stops which is more how i use my truck as a daily vs long hauling.

When the computer says 20+ I don't look too much more into it. Let me live in ignorance. Mine isn't a dually and I drive like a grandma but typically cruise around 70-75. In the mountains, I get around 18mpg and I'm sure where you live has more mountains than here. (where I get 20+)
I ordered my new 4x4 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel from the factory. Ordered it with a 6 speed and added an exhaust brake. I love that truck and still have it. I'm always towing something. When I first got it, I was hauling horses a lot with a gooseneck to Colorado, Idaho for hunting. Gooseneck had living quarters and was loaded with 3 horses and all our gear, plus hay and water. Now I'm hauling the Jeep, a tractor and soon a small dozer, plus my dump trailer with gravel and firewood. The thing is a "work horse".
I’ve got an 05 Ram with the 6 speed and a Jacobs exhaust brake, love that truck.
man thats crazy! I had no idea it was that much for gas to diesel. The new 6.7 sure is nice, especially the 10 speed. The 10r80 is being argued as one of the best transmissions out right now, and I know exactly why. My dad has a 21' F350 tremor with the 6.7-10spd and we used it to tow my jeep down to moab. Towed like a dream for all 15.5 hours lol. How are you liking the newer 7.3? We had the 7.3 powerstroke(diesel) in his 02' F350 with a few "fun" mods and banks tune for towing. Man I miss that thing. I wish they were able to put the old 7.3 behind the new 10 speed. The transmission it came with was the 4r100 that shit the bed 1 too many times. Ended up getting it built and it was unstoppable except the trans gearing was
. its overdrive was worse than the 42rle lol

I do recall him chasing the wheel at one point, but that was the heavy wind we hit in Nevada, we passed @bobthetj03 in his motorhome towing his jeep. It was pretty scary what the wind was doing to the both of usSo far the engine seems great only 300 miles on truck. Like I say as of now I believe there is something wrong with the front end (hoping it’s just alignment) since it wanders all over the road. I need to take it into the dealer. How does your dads tremor drive? Do you find yourself making a lot of steering corrections? This thing was bad enough on the freeway I thought it was crazy windy out only to roll down windows and realize their was no wind.
Dealer cannot get me in until next week, tried to take it into the local alignment shop and he refused to check it for me because his computer didn’t have the specs on a tremor. I was like can you just check it I think it must be toed out and he wouldn’t do it.
