The PMR are good as long as you don't do to many mods and get above 500 hp range. The ones mentioned are the most sought after to make horsepower

OK that sounds a lot better. I have read the earlier Dmax had injector issues, bummer though. The older 7.3's are looking better and better for a lot of reasons, money up front and later on. Sounds like the tranny and converter are the big concerns, NORMALLY. I also know anything's possible on a used truck.

The trans is not the problem, it is the converter. When you start throwing 100+ hp extra then it tears up the lockup clutch in the converter. You leave them stock and I have seen them in the 200k range alot. You chip them and don't expect much more than 100k if you are really really nice. Mine went 68,000 before acting up. But in all fairness I still drove it 1200 miles to BTS to be fixed. Mine was worked but not abused except for the chip. As far as the PMR rods they will take upwards of 400HP but you need a good program to keep cylinder pressures down to make them live above that. My truck is only at 380ish at the wheels and it is more than enough! CJ
