Dand that's good. How many transmissions did you wear out? Place I used to work had a 96 F350 with a 7.3. Thing was a beast. But it had around 300k and the transmission flew apart. Certainly no shame for it considering it was always overloaded.
Never met the Governments emissions standards. Too bad I believe they should revisit the standards for sake of efficiency. I have rebuilt the transmission twice. I replaced the long block at 586,000, so I am expecting a few more miles with this one.
