I'm looking for a new truck!! I want to go with diesal but got a lot of mixed reviews!! If i buy a diesal it will be a used truck!! I dont think reverse and neutral is needed wouldnt want it to break on me!!That was a joke but i am confused with the truck thing!! I really want a F 250 but the 6.5 or trouble from what i'm told!! Leaning toward a dodge but no dealerships has any!!

were about to see some guys that are as hard core about the brand of truck they drive as giga is about go devil

i have a 06 f250 with the 6.0, ive had a few issues with the truck mainly injectors and the high volume oil pump seal. the worst thing with the f250's is the egr (exhaust gas recirculation)it will eat injectors all day long especially if you have a programmer on it. once i got rid of that on my truck it has been good to me so far. i run a bullydog pmt programmer and it will flat roll out. IMO there is not truck that looks as good as the f250. the only dealings ive had with the new ford diesels is where i work, they have a few and seem to be pretty good trucks so far and they are trying to get rid of all the new duramax's they have to get em. no im not a chevy hater either, just saying the ones the company has stay in the shop more than we get to use em for work.

I almost bought a diesel when I got my F-150 but the cost of one kept me from buying one and up until now, the F-150 has served my needs perfectly. I've towed over 10k with it a few times and pull an 8k boat regularly and it has performed perfectly. So far I've put 83k miles on it and haven't had any major issues with it yet.

If I were to go diesel, I think I would either go Chevy or Dodge but not Ford since they had some major issues with the 6.0 engine and the new one hasn't been out long enough to prove it's reliability. The Cummins in the Dodge is probably the diesel engine you can get but the rest of the truck isn't. So overall I think that the Chevy, Duramax (isuzu made), allison transmission combo is the way to go. I have 5 friends with Dodge 2500 and 3500 trucks and 3 have had their transmission go in under 100,000 miles and were turned down for warranty saying they abused their trucks which I'm sure they didn't. The two that haven't had issues have manual transmissions.

I drive a ford f150 myself with the v8 regular gas. All of the farmers around here that have trucks that last the longest with the least amount of problems is dodge. Just a little help.

The Ford 6.4 has issues that are being worked, I drive an 08 duramax and haven't had a lick of trouble with it since i bought it though i have taken the DPF filter off and and have straight exhaust, the DPF is a real cut back on fuel economy and HP. The new dodges with the 6.7, haven't heard good news about them, buddy of mine just sold his cause wife was driving it and it shut down on her and they coulnd't even get it to turn over, stil in shop and that has been over a month ago, they have alot of problems with their DPF system, it'll back way up and shut the turbo down with suit. I too did my research on my trucks before purchasing a diesel and found that the duramax was my best bet. Also if you buy an 07.5 to newer i'll be the first to tell you that these trucks are not made to putt around now-a-days they need to be ran hard from time to time to clean the exhaust system out. Thats where most of the vehicles now have problems.

I got an 02 chevy 2500hd 4x4. its a piece of sh1t. if it ever goes up for sale on here, make sure u dont buy it. jus a lil word of advice from a fellow mm'er

06-07 classic GMC/Chevy with the LBZ or a F=250 with a 7.3


Thats the only way I personally would go

ddm your gonna get alot of reviews knocking every truck man. its all gonna come down to preference and looks of what you want. i can tell you this every one of em has had or have problems. just hope you get a good one. ive seen every one of em broke down on the side of the road including mine. good luck.

O and get the extra warranty!!!!!

x2 on what brad said...

the 05-07 ford 6.0 can be a good motor with a egr delete and arp head studs

the 6.4 can be good also with a dpf delete and spartan tune.

that 6.4 will run with a spartan and a DPF delete. And yes to the head studs and EGR delete, thats what i have done to mine

Id go with a cummins, i really like tha old 12 valves but im assuming you want a newer truck! i wouldnt go any higher than an 06'.

im also a ford guy, the 7.3 is a good engine.

How about a pic of your ford duckhunterf250!!

bank note deletes are nice... I have two more payments on my 02 7.3

yeah jus sux cuz the truck looks really good, jus cant keep the sumbitch runnin right

I'm still rollin in a 2000 F250 4x4, 6 spd manual, with 255k on it. Only thing I've had to do is replace worn out suspension parts and tires. She might not be the pertiest girl around, but I guaran-damn-ty ya, she'll pull ya house down if needed. Ya just can't beat the old 7.3, imo.

damn thats a nice lookin truck!! it looked higher when i saw it!??

What about the 09 dodge just found one with 12 k miles on it!!

i wouldnt buy a 08 or newer..

fawk the emisions bullsh*t

if you do buy a 6.7 i'd do a egr delete and dpf delete with a smarty tune

you can get an 08 terry but as stated you can do the delete options for under a grand, I did! But if you get a newer model truck like that without doing mods, i wouldn't suggest putting around in it, they are made to run, keep the exhaust system clean and you'll be fine

I found some nice f 250's I found a really nice mega cab but the forker was a gas!! How much would it be to get the delete optiond for a 09 dodge

'08 F-250 6.4l runnin' DPF-R delete programmer w/ AFE Cat / DPF replacement pipe.

6.4l Power Stroke Do's & Don'ts

* Don't buy an '08 Job1 6.4l
* Do request a carfax report
* Do make sure the ECU software is the most current version
* Do add DPF delete kit
* Don't run any other programmer except Spartan
* just cause you can leave a red light or merge into traffic with 40#'s of boost, DON'T!

I got an '08 F-250 wit 13,000 miles I may be willing to sell you.

No trade ins. LOL

The dodge 5.9 is the best diesel motor out there. Followed by the ford 7.3. The only problem with the 7.3 is finding one with out a crap load of miles.

I found an 01 F250 7.3 with 100k miles.. Ive put 14k on it so far and love it.

i bought my 2002 with 101k miles... it now has 129k with no problems

I just bought an 07 Duramax with the LBZ about 4 months ago and I am still enjoying the hell out of it. They run the Ford 6.4 at our work one has 9X,XXX miles on it and the other only has around 20,000 but they have not had any problems with them. Like was said before I would stay away from the 6.0 Ford and the new Dodge 6.7. This is just my opinion from talking to people that own them and what I have read. Between the 6.4 Ford and the 6.7 Dodge I would go with the Ford all day. A guy I work with had a 6.7 shutdown on him with 1,300 miles and they ended up giving him a new truck because they could never get it running again.

Hey keestan that was ol' boy from the dove hunt?
