Default Re: Diesel *Truck Question

Hey P-Daddy what yr is the truck? The 7.3 was and is Fords best motor. The 7.3's 2 baby brothers are junk the 6.9 and 6.0 have you ever had a diesel or a dually? The dually will be hard to park. I always hated parking mine and you will tear up the rear fenders at some point if you drive it long. Tell us the yr of the truck. The diesel are great but remember they hold more oil on oil change but that's why most people go 10k to 15k miles on oil changes in diesels, plus they don't require the as often. they have less up keep, no plugs wires or cap. but you have injection pump average $2000 to replace, and injectors average $375 up to replace. are you up north where you will be plugging it in more to keep warm? if so remember plugging in a diesel will make the antifreeze turn into acid over time so you will need to get acid neutralizer at a truck stop or flush the system every couple yrs.
