I had a RB for SMB #1 - now with an EB for rig #2 and there is no way I'd go back to the RB, especially if I was going to be transporting kids or additional gear. The extra room absolutely rocks! Solo, I might be swayed for an RB but only if it was outfitted correctly..

7.3 diesel is awesome if i could i would switch to a gasser or 7.3 and id get an EB.
That's what I've read. My only real question is if you take a big mpg hit on the 5.whatever gasser when you get the thing built up, as opposed to the diesel.

You definitely will, and about the only small thing you can do to combat that is a 5-star (or other) tune, which do help considerably with power, but nil with MPG no matter what they try to tell you.
