There's a funny thing about those IH 7.3's, and you're probably right. There were quite a number of them around here, and there were a lot that gave a lot of misery and failed early. I don't know if it was maintenance related, or why.... but hey were done like dinner. I know os some more that spent 300000 miles under a cattle trailer and were still running fine when the truck collapsed under it. But, most were either low mileage or the engine died.... or they gave up on it from oil consumption.
The Dodge's that i've seen around here run forever, or until the truck falls apart, and the damn ol B is still running strong. I can't say that I personally know anyone that had a B fail on them, but I do know several that had the 7.3 fail.... and a few that had very good luck with the 7.3/6.9.... but they're rare. Don't even get me started on the 6.2/6.5.... I know several of them that died, mostly with broken cranks.
Personally, I'd stick with the Cummins.
