I had a 2000 ford f350 7.3 excab 4x4 drw auto. The longest I got was 17,000 mile out of a trans. At 82,000 ford offered me a 2002 for a great price after some complaining. The 2000 had 3.73's and would get 14-15 empty the 02 with 4.11's 10mpg. I have only ever owned 2 fords in my life the 2000 and it spent as much time in the shop as me using it. the 2002 was in the shop 39 times in 20 months of owning it the 02 never did have a trans problem though. I traded the 02 ford in for a 04 dodge 3500 ctd auto drw 4x4 and it has been great 140,000 miles with only a fuel pump modual and u-joints.
As far as mileage goes the 2000 ford was the best I have had for awhile. The 2000 would get 9-10mpg even pulling 10,000#. The 02 ford pulling 10,000# load was 6-8mpg. My 2004 dodge pulling the same load 8-9mpg empty the 04 is 12-14.
