Can you post some pictures of it open? The frame on that thing looks as strong as an ox. What goodies do you haul along? two of those at any given time.601Views0likes0CommentsRe: Diesel vs gas......................
In my experience with a PSD only one i like it was 99 f350 with 7.3L. 670K miles when totaled by SWIFT truck. We had a 6.0L witch was junk:replaced by ford @37K,99K,175K,280K and when blow up @340 we give up on 6.0L and went to dodge witch we got @440K miles on the original motor and still in service. Under load 6.0L fuel mileage was ~9mpg,V10 same load 9.7mpg My 06 V10 was replaced due some idiot stripping the plug thread.(truck was owned by large corporation so they did not care on putting bend new motor in it).I got 334K miles on the chassis now. If it blows it won't cost me $14K to replace it. Keep in mine the all the trucks pull 15-19K lbs trailers full time. I need my trucks to work ,not to sit in the shop like the 6.0 did.time lost while diesel in the shop i take lower MPG and less down time. In the end V10 vs 6.0 in 5 years of service was cheaper truck to operate. But if you want to have a big exhaust and turbo wisle go ahead and buy a diesel. My 0.02.325Views0likes0Comments
