ya I fukkin love my '97 7.3l, aint fired it in a couple weeks, but did today, man what a lovely sound, not too mention the grunt, mileage, and the fact that it goes thru zero oil inbetween changes. 580,000kms all stock!!!!!!
_also have a '97 5.9cummins,(200,000kms) its okay...(kinda a hog at the pump compared to the ford), not bad considering the difference between 3:55's in the ford and 4:10's in the dodge.
_Whats the fukkin deel with the dodges?...do they ever quit drooling?...stoopid crankcase vent always always gottsta weep?...whats the deal...do cummins's cry that way cuz they know the same yr stoke is at least 2 fold superior?
_heh heh 580,000km's, 95% off pavement, fer her performance shes gittin a new front susp and steering...cuz she deserves it. shootin fer a million.

drove a 05 1ton crew 4x4 with a CTD today... pulled a stuck to the nutz bobcat thru 2' of cement like clay just off idle.... my kawks still twitchin....

dunno wtf's up with yer mileage in yer 1ton... 24-27mpg is pretty common with older CTD's among the camper haulers in BC...
