I would find the lastest 7.3 .Early 2003 is the last of them.

2001 had a diode in the trans that caused problems but most probably have been fixed by now.
I did the regulated return and it quietened the motor quite a bit. Also big oil helped. If you don't want to do big oil, do a HPX

Problem is now you have PMRs instead of Forged Rods.

Mine toasted on me because of the diode. Some say that a build date of after Mar 01 makes you safe or there is a way to test for the diode. In any case, I went with a BTS trans and was practically dared to break it.
