But I can put a really nice set injectors in my truck for $600 for 6, your 16 will cost more than that for 1.


you can have your computerized, DEF, high priced diesel truck.


I will take my old work horse that I have $6,600 in the entire truck that will run 13.4 sec 1/4, and tow 20k lbs of tractors all day long.



those new things do ride a little smoother.

If it were all about money I would buy an old truck and modify it. But it's not just about money, so, for the little bit more cost to run a new truck I'll gladly run the new one......even if I have to choke on your smoke going up the hill.

Depending on how long the hill is will determine how long you will have to choke on his smoke. I mean he has a truck that will run 13.4 sec quarter mile at a time. If he has 20K worth of tractors behind him pulling a 7% grade then unless he has $3k worth of cooling system cooling all that hp in that $6,600 truck he will make it about a quarter mile then melt it down.
