Probably won’t believe this...... I bought my first diesel pickup a Ford F-250 in 1994 7.3 no turbo I owned it until 2002 280,000 miles without it ever going back to a shop for anything other than regular maintenance. In 2002 I bought a new F350 with the 7.3 and drove it without any problems other than regular maintenance and one set of glow plugs and ball joints . Sold it with right at 300,000 miles on it in 2014. I bought an F350 with the 6.7 Powerstroke right after I sold the 2002 and today I have over 102,000 miles on it with absolutely o problems. Now I do take really good care of them, quality fuel, oil and filters at 5000 miles . Everybody has their favorites but after owning these trucks plus being in the trucking business for a long time and owning many Peterbilt trucks I am 110% sold on diesel pickup trucks !!!
