Repair 4 diesel

I'm chiming in here for a minute or two. There is diesel and there is gas engines. However, not all are alike in any way. It seems to me everyone wants something newer, bigger, better, more than the guy next door. In my opinion when the laws changed about emissions back in 05,06, it got even more complicated. Understanding what a diesel engine does is not that complicated. As a matter of fact, a few posts ago, it was said that a diesel would cost more to maintain, this simply is not true depending on what diesel motor you have. Sure the upfront cost is more but in reality it depends on what your engine is. From what I know, Pre 2005 Cummins engines are exempt from emission laws, at least it is in my state of Oregon. So that said, I have no electronic injectors, they are mechanical. The injector pump is gear driven and the only issue on these early trucks was the lift pump and oil nozzles getting plugged up by aftermarket oil filters. I don't have to add soot juice. I have no plugs to change or electronic injectors like a gasser or some diesels. I have watched youtube videos of powerstroke engine failures and people trying to figure out the unbelievable things that can go wrong with one of these engines. It is unbelievable. I would never own one. To break this down is this...the simpler the better. Again this is just my opinion but what I really think what is horrible is the people out there that take full advantage of a truck owner who's engine has failed while on a trip with family in tow. I hope karmas a ***** because no one deserves to be stranded and told it's going to cost 6000 dollars to fix it and your held hostage. Just my opinion, feel free to throw me under the bus but I'm done for now...just sayin' good luck with your ventures and keep it simple. Big Katuna,thank you so much for the laugh your clicky was out of this world!!
