my dad has a '00 7.3 and the truck itself feels much better built and is a bit more comfortable to drive. Howeve, his is more modified and mine is virtually stock and I dont think his is a whole lot faster.
bottom line: (in my opinion)
-If you want an easy/cheaper go-fast truck then i'd say cummins, if you dont mind the dodge part.
- If you want a more comfortable rig thats still very reliable and can pull just about anything the cummins can, then go with the 7.3, but it probably wont be as fast unless you throw a whole lot of money at it.
- you cant really go wrong with either truck
