AS does thousands of haulers with a dot # out here on the road making a living with quiet long lasting new gen diesels.
The diesel still make sense today or even more cents than any gazzer in that type of work.
At one time 454/460 big block gasser ruled the road in one ton DRW type work. They gave way for GMs 8.1 and Fords V10. They too went the way of the older big block engines. That left us with high hp/high rpm smallblock engines that could not compete with the diesel for towing heavy.
Now thankfully it looks like Ford may be back in the big gasser market for 3/4 and one ton trucks and fleet 4500/5500 trucks. Move over 6.2 gaz Fords ..here come the big boys again.
