    Favorite thing about the 7.3s is that they will run on almost anything, motor oil, ATF, gear oil, almost anything combustible.

    I wouldn't be changing the atf so often, I live in commy Cali and the diesel is often times the same price or cheaper than 87 octane. Gas is normally 4.15-4.50 while diesel is 3.90-4.35.

    Such an awesome looking truck, i'd have a problem affording the diesel fuel for it since i do so much driving and the winters up here are crazy cold it might be hard to start. But man I love those wheels and tires they're really sharp!
