its kind of eye opening, and doesnt say anything about the actual motor that they have so many sitting on the shelf. what it tells is how many of each brand they use. for instance our mine site traditionaly uses GMC trucks (gas engines, we thing the purchaser had a brother that owned a gmc dealership) and a few fords, but they are just starting to switch over to all ford. the GMC front ends can't handle the abuse they have to take, and it only took them 20 years to figure that outš¤£. plus there are a lot of other issues. not a dodge in the mix. From what I see in other sites and from contractors coming to our site is a overwhelming majority of the trucks are ford. probably between a 20 to 40 to 1 ratio to GMC and a 100 to 1 ratio (or higher) to dodge, so if you base spare parts of numbers of vehicles then twenty 6L to two Duramax motors is about right.
I know itās hard to accept that Ford couldnāt offer a truck with a good diesel engine for almost a decadeā¦not sure how you explain whole new engine after 5 years and another whole new engine 3 years later (with a year gap when they didnāt have anything to put in the trucksā¦lol).
But good math skills other than I said they had similar numbers of 6 leaker trucks and early Dmax trucks.
