Do NOT get a 6.0 engine, especially the early ones! The 7.3 was a lot better engine even with a bit of mileage.

For $10k you are close to a 2002-3 Dodge Cummins so the power stroke should be a bit less...

Also make sure you are running high pressure in the tires. Running 65-70 in mine and makes a world of difference in the mileage and feel.
