FordDiesel250

I had a 6.5 Chevy diesel and it was great until we reached 60,000 miles and it started acting up. No one could get a handle on this POS and it really irked me. The truck was bought new and the fluids and filters were changed on a regular basis. The truck took forever to start and after many (3) starters changed, injectors etc. this truck just went into lemon mode. The final straw happened when wife and I were going to visit her parents and the truck broke down in Mobile Alabama during 5:00 rush hour. We were towed to the impound lot next to the FedEx terminal near Mobile Bay and the owner let us keep the truck there until we could figure something out which ended up us buying a Ford F250 7.3 PSD and towing the Chevy back home to Texas. Nightmare for sure and the real kicker is I worked at a GM plant. This is our story
