One thing I'm thinking about since I am a first time diesel owner is to get an old pos for under 5k from the early to mid 90s like a Chevy, dodge or Ford and treat this like my "practice" truck.
I have a diesel class a right now but I've never done any work to it.
Right now I'm in Florida for the winter so it's nice and flat then I can sell it when I leave and get something nicer vs spending 15k now and beating it up while I'm learning about diesels. What do you think?FishOnOne wrote:
I don't recommend these trucks with these engines if you're a first time diesel owner.

Not a bad idea, I would recommend the 7.3 Powerstroke from 94.5-2003 or the 5.9 Cummins. I would stay away from the 6.5 GM. There are better optiones I mentioned above.
There is a reason that the 6.0 PSD is nicknamed the POsD, and the 6.doh.
Thanks!
