It was starting to develop a rear main seal leak, and the a/c compressor was making noise, so I sold the truck after putting about 8,000 miles on it and didn't loose a nickel even after the maintenance costs. Lets hope the new 7.3l that is replacing the 6.2 is as durable.
I was under the impression that the 6.2 was staying, and the 7.3 gas was an optional upgrade, like when you used to be able to pick from the 5.4 v8 or the v10 gassers.
