2001 Ford F-250 XLT Crew Cab
If you had a choice between a 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel in this truck OR a Triton V-10 Which would you choose and why? I had an opportunity to get the diesel, but some have said the tranny's in some of them were bad.
Thanks.

Re: 2001 Ford F-250 XLT Crew Cab
Early E4ODs were not the best, but since the early '90s they are pretty good if you do not cook them.
I would take the 7.3L diesel without a second thought. The V-10 is THIRSTY! They have decent power, but not as good as the diesel, and they use more fuel. The v-10 is alos cheaper to fix/replace should something go wrong, but the diesels are VERY relaible.

I had this choice and ended up buying the powerstroke. I liked the dependability of the engine better than the v-10. Another thing to remember is the resale value of the truck. The deisel will stay much higher with miles, Trust me I know cause I just bought one.
