Okay, first of all I would like to mention that I come from the Cummins forum, have owned a Cummins for years, and know the insides and outs of my second gen like the back of my hand. I COME IN PEACE! Just sold my truck, and have about 11k or so to throw at a new truck. I need a 4 door crew cab, the quad cab cummins won't do it for me anymore. Ive always loved the obs bodies (94-99?) and they seem to be in my price range. I can't afford a 3rd gen cummins unfortunately. Im looking for some help here in deciding what truck is best for me in my budget. I don't know much about the 7.3 and from what my buddy says about his 6.0, I should stay away. This truck will mostly be a farm truck and a commuter. I go to Michigan State and drive back and fourth to home quite a bit. When at home its pulling a 28' horse trailer. Not looking for a mall crawler, need something that I can rely on. She doesn't have to be pretty.
Needs: 4 door, 4x4, manual trans (did they even make these trucks in manual?? I haven't seen any), and around 11k.
Can I get some input on how you guys like the 7.3's? What should I look for when buying one? Just the basics to help me get my foot in the door.
