So I love my truck. Easily the sexiest thing ever made. However, on days when I'm in the truck for a while, i find myself at odds with the thing. From what I can tell, for about 7500-9000 bucks I can be in a 99-03 SD (7.3 only...) with around 180-200K miles with more power, hydroboost, four wheel disk brakes, larger interior, better mirrors, 4 doors (extended cab).... basically fixes all the stuff I dont like about the truck I have now.
I guess the question I am coming back to is how much more problematic are the SDs vs the OBS trucks? They seem like a lot of truck for the money, especially since parts are getting harder to find for the IDI (i said harder, not impossible). Are the SDs harder to work on? I know the unitized bearings are not favored by some....
