I would tend to disagree on the powerstroke, you enter into another maze of model years, overpriced maintenance items and varying potential breakdowns depending on which year and type.

Another 7.3 NA (or even 6.9 if power doesn't matter), operating in proper form is probably bang for buck the best replacement value if you end up going that route.

Putting in a powerstroke you might as well put in a cummins or change the transmission to a MT. Sounds like too much investment for the amount of use the vehicle will likely receive.

My take
