P.E.R.F.E.C.T!
you have to compare apples to apples,and the 7.3 IDI and 5.9 CUMMINS are not the same.
1.V8 compared to I6
2.the IH7.3 IDI and GM6.5 IDI where designed from the start to be light duty truck engines(aka throw away engines)
where the cummins was designed to be a heavy duty industrial/agriculture engine.
all are good engines when you use them for what they were designed.
V8's have never had a good reputation as a heavy duty engine.the I6 design is a very good for lots of power,its built into the design.less moving parts and so on.
dont get me wrong,i love my IDI and my ford,has been a very good truck.
buy what you want,take care of it,hope the PO has taken care of it and enjoy.
oh yeah dont buy a used dodge with a cummins from a guy named travis
