[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2400227, member: 15643"] I've got 321k on a 03' 6.0l powerstoke, that's given me very little trouble, all major parts are still orignial (turbo, half the injectors, tranny, transfer case, rear end, wiring harness, etc) probably 75% dirt roads/25% highway. 02' Excursion witha 7.3l.......same story. My next truck won't be a diesel, IMO if you don't pull with your truck everyday and need the torque, it's not worth the up front cost, more expensive upkeep, more costly repairs, and higher fuel. When we bought these trucks, diesel was $.60 per gallon cheaper than gas........got 5-8mpg better than the V10, and the upfront cost was just a little over $5k more than the v10. It made sense to go with the diesel then, pulling with it everyday or not. It will still get a Super Duty, just not a diesel unless I find somebody that's giving one a way. Great post Travis.
