I'm not much for 1st gens... They aren't bad by any means.. But they definitely aren't near as easy as the second gens as far as modifying and other aftermarket parts available for them.. Plus the ride is totally different.

you can get an early model second gen for pretty cheap now.. esepcially if you don't mind a reg cab.
And don't get crazy and buy a 6.5. I'd much rather have a 7.3 then a 6.5

well for best mileage, daily driving/playing and hauling with no problems heat or breakage problems but plenty of power to climb the hills.. 350+/- rwhp is the right range.. And it isn't near as easy to pull that off with a 1st gen.. But it's very easy for a second gen.
When did that happen??

hm 26 with the auto but thats also in a 2 gen you know what roughly what the 1st gens get? i dont know too much about the diesels
Lucky Jeff

never really paid attention to the 1st gens.. just know they ride rough as hell and don't make the power the second gens do. They'll last for over a million miles though.

hmmm.. or buy a 3rd gen... that kinda power is quick and ez... just think what youd have to do a 12v to mke 305 horse? 350? 500?
well to make 350 rwhp.. It took a grinder.. 500 rwhp, injectors and a turbo.
a 3rd gen is in nooooo way a cheaper option.. Plus they can't touch my 12 valve on bottom end.. 3rd gens are laaaaaaggggggyyyy. We threw the smarty on my Dad's 05.. he loved the throttle response and how much better it was down low.. I drove the thing and damn near put a hole in the floor trying to get it to go anywhere.
