why dont you guys get a diesel?

[inkie77]

Diesel > petrol serious

strong argument

[akmerle]

delete the DEF, EGR, and DPF

srs.

lol

I hear ya, I have several friends with fully deleted trucks. Since Diesel Bro's got the EPA hammer, it is MUCH more difficult. I'd get a simple tuner and call it good.

Full delete kits for current Ford 6.7 / LP5 / Cummins 6.7 are major cash, let alone finding a shop willing to do it anymore.

Diesels are great for the right application but for most application they are not. Especially the newer ones with the exhaust aftertreatment systems.

It's a federal crime to tamper with or delete emissions equipment.

Can you make Diesels fast? I love torque and hear they have low HP, but make up for it with Torque.

I spent $60 on my Egr delete and $350 on my straight pipe. Basic tuner was $500

You ever have a diesel truck boyo ?

Yes, torque is fcking amazing with diesels.

[bchap05]

Would like diesel but also would take me like 32 years to hit 300k. And most gas engines should push 200k so say I get 21 years out of my gas engine then I could just throw a new engine in it for like 8k and still be cheaper than the diesel.

My ex raced me in my v6 Panamera while I was in the truck and we were neck and neck

[guest89]

I like diesels but if your not towing regularly and/or working with your truck you probably spend more during ownership for the diesel.

maybe a rare bird toyota but no other gas truck will do that.

I've seen Fords and Chevrolet gas trucks with 300K on the dash.



With that said I'd have no interest in keeping a truck that long.

How many F1 cars or Superbikes are diesel powered?

Maybe if you're into racing tractors, but even a lot of them run nitro or alcohol.

Keep your dumb ass euro diesels out of this.


We talking large north American trucks. Not your ****gy ass 3litre diesels.

usually 2 litre turbos. rarely see a 3 litre diesel engine in europe.


but lmao if you think american trucks are more reliable than those euro diesels youre talking about.... you can drive a diesel VW (the ones actually made in europe) until the doors literally fall off of it.

I recently bought a 1984 C20 swapped with a 6.5 turbo diesel for $2k from a coworker. The body is nearly rust free, and runs like a top. I estimate the power to be 300hp/450tq. Obviously it's not fast, but it's such a nice truck to daily drive and run errands. Gets over 20mpg too. I know 6.2/6.5 engines have a bad rap, but the common issues have been addressed with this, and the glow plugs were wired with a heavy duty circuit. It starts up in single digit weather no problem. I'm really impressed with it for a daily, and I plan to keep it for as long as I can. I might even consider swapping one in my 79 K10.

[engj]

100k? more like 35k for a good used one or so

also you can find a good older 7.3 liter that'll go forever

What kind of crime did I commit that you'd sentence me to forever in an old ford with a 7.3?

Great engine, and the 2002 7.3 F350 I had was probably the GOAT work/site truck, but no way Id want to daily one. If it was parked next to my Coyote/6spd F150 i'd take the gasser any day of the week.

Diesels today aren't worth a chit. You have to worry about a 7,000 dollar DPF failure, constant regens, and adding urea fluid into the truck. EPA ruined diesels in 2007. I wouldn't own a truck that wasnt pre emissions. Anything after 2007, unless fully tuned/deleted is a disaster waiting to happen.

You mean after 2012?

[Casca]

Diesel fuel has increased in cost significantly and newer diesel requires adblue which further increases cost. When I was thinking of getting a Sprinter van to convert to a stealth camper, I was looking for older models before adblue, but then fuel cost went up anyways.

My next build is going to be a 1st Gen cummins.

I am still driving a 2003 F250 7.3l Lariat Crew Cab with 119k miles on it. Bought it for $8k from my dad when it had 69k miles back in 2016. Texas truck and not a pile of rust.
