Anyways, is the 7.3 Powerstroke the best engine ever?
Reliability The 7.3L International Power Stroke engine is considered by many to be one of the best diesel engines ever to be equipped in a modern heavy-duty pickup truck/van. Although there are a number of great things about this big diesel engine, it has gained such a following by providing bulletproof reliability.
Anyhoo, is 6.0 or 7.3 engine better? From a reliability, durability or simplicity standpoint, the 7.3L is hands down the winner. When it comes to horsepower, drivability and meeting modern day emissions standards, the 6.0L has it beat. Ultimately, both engines have their pros and cons.

Stay away from the 6.0's(commonly known as 6-leakers) and the 6.4's(commonly known as sootbags). I believe that the 2002/2003 7.3 powerstroke is one of the best diesels ever made, even with the tranny situation. After that, the 1997 PS was also a good one for longivity and reasonable power.
Ford rebuild kit is about $1100 and includes pistons, bearings, seals and gaskets - even an oil filter. Figure $500-800 at machine shop depending on what the heads need (valves, guides, etc). Then, add stuff like water pump, injectors, turbo rebuild, up-pipes, fuel bowl rebuild, etc.
So can you start a diesel truck with just a single 12-volt battery? Probably, but you probably shouldn't if you can avoid it. ... If temperatures are cold enough, diesel fuel can even gel, so making sure a diesel engine has enough power to turn over is very important.
Diesel engines have a very high compression ratio e.g. 22:1 and require more powerfull starter motors. On average they draw between 300 and 500 Amps for average sized car engines 2 to 3 litre while on truck engines the current could easily reach 1000 Amps at initial turn over.
It's not uncommon for diesel trucks to have two batteries. The dual-battery setup cranks extra power that can overcome the higher resistance of a diesel engine. Compression ratios for diesel engines are almost twice those of gasoline engines. It simply takes more oomph to fire up a diesel.
