They’re still on the road Bedlam. With the value of trucks, even the older ones are worth fixing still vs scrapping.
I love the “I see them all the time so the rumors about them sucking is false” comments.
JV partner in AK on the Slope was still running a bunch of 6.0 Fords in their fleet due to the diesel emissions/ options with other brands etc.
They also had about half as many old pre emissions Duramaxes.
Their shop had most of a wall lined with 6.0 Diesel engines sitting on the floor. Some rebuilt some blown.
I asked how many Duramax engines they had stocked up. The equipment manager laughed and said theyd replaced a few that got dusted or run out of oil or otherwise damaged. But the 6.0s provided their mechanics a lot of paychecks!
And fwiw, the equipment guys up there said they’d have been running Dodge Cummins all along but dodge didn’t offer a CC/LB until 2010.
When I was up there, Ram had just added DeF. Fleets we’re getting switched out to them. That’s how I ended up with a fleet of Rams instead of Powdersmokes.
