The 6.4 PSD weighs about 1100 pounds dry takes close to 16 quarts of oil and 35 quarts of coolant. Its a monster to say the least. I think the 6.0 and 7.3 are in the same ball park but a little lighter.
Bio diesel is cleaner than regular no. 2. However, you have to really pay attention to quality control and wash the fuel good. Manufacturers like ford do not warranty biodiesel fuel concentrations above 5% for the reason of back yard brewers and the lack of quality control. One person may make outstanding bio diesel, another might produce absolute crap. Keep in mind you need to service fuel filters more often with bio at $20 a set.

Can't find the 7.3l specs or the dt444 but you'd want a car geared for 2,000 rpm at 70mph. I thinks thats what our 2008 f-250 does.
