I'll be ordering a 7.3 truck in January. 16-18 weeks out to get an ordered one right now. Watch the reviews on TFL Truck on youtube, they're pretty objective with their reviews. My feeling is, if your're going to get one, do it right and order the 4:30 gears. It's only about .8 mpg difference in their tests, and i'm sure pulls much better than the 3:55. The low end torque and max torque is close to the last 7.3 diesels they built, without the 9k premium over the 7.3 gas. I can buy alot of extra gas with that 9k, cheaper maintence and much cheaper to repair. That 10 speed has to "learn", so funky shifting for the first couple hundred miles should be expected. Full disclosure, I work in the plant where these trucks are built.
