Man, I would go V10 over a 7.3 at that price all day long. That thing is still super old and even if the engine goes 400k miles, the door cables, plastics and everything else will start to...

No. But you should keep a reserve in your account to do it. Many many people run them to 200k miles without an issue. But if you’re not a lucky one, you will be hit with a $15k Bill. Or, if your the...

Price might be a bit high, but not a ton. Most interesting thing to me is the lack of a tall cabinet in the back on the drivers side. If you want a 7.3 and a RB50 layout, they arent making any more...

There’s a shop in San Juan Capistrano that does rebuilds and replacements. I can’t think of the name of it. You can find decent used engines for $1-2k and install should be something like $1500-2500.

The 5 speed is better, but the 4 speed is very reliable and not terrible. The V10 is a great motor. It is found in all kinds of RVs and other vehicles. I think it came out in 97, so a 2000 isn't a...

The biggest problem with that one is the 4x4 conversion was done by someone who has a terrible reputation. If you get it, make sure to take it to a reputable shop to have it checked out.

My only suggestion would be penfed credit union. They seem to be pretty liberal with what they will lend but I don’t know if they do “rvs” or not. Good luck.

He is talking about reducing the price, so i would guess he didn't have any bites over $50k or wherever the price was. I think you could fit a nice bed in there if you're tall, but then no room for...

Personally, I would buy the V-10. Cheaper to maintain, same power, 12mpg. The only benefit to the 7.3 is at altitude where it would lose less power than a v-10. The propane in my van lasts about a...
