    There's one dealership that I've bought 2 vehicles from, my sister 3, and my mom bought 2 from them as well. If this dealership can't make it happen then I'll prolly go back to 'our' dealership.

    Which is Mac haik ford lol. They usually have great service and good prices.

    That motor is garbage. 6.4 = years of headaches.

    So, let's break it down in terms of which diesel in which model.

    Chevy - 2006-2007 (pre emissions with Allison tranny)
    Ford - 7.3 1999-2000 (forged connecting rods)
    Dodge - 5.9 (don't have a specific year that's better than the others, that I can find)

    Just trying to find an extended cab short wheelbase something. Buying new is retarded. They want entirely too much for these trucks.

    Not as bad as a 6.0 lol it's a good engine as long as a redneck doesn't fuck with it. But it would be a 7.3 or 6.7 for me on personal choice
    Yes

    The 7.3 Power Stroke (International Harvester) and 5.9 Cummins are indestructible if you half way take care of them. I'm partial to the 5.9 but that's cuz I have always driven Dodge trucks. I currently drive a fully deleted 6.7 Cummins and it's rock solid with pretty good gas mileage. My friend has 480,000 WORK MILES on his F350 with no intentions of getting rid of it. The Ford 6.7 is super badass as well, but to rich ($$$$$$$$$) for my blood. I, personally, would never drive a Chevy just cuz I think they're built like shit and don't last very long..... Think about how many older work trucks you see.... Lots of old Ford and Dodge but not many Chevy. But, opinions are like assholes and everyone has more than their fair share.


    True, but I wouldn't buy a 6.0 or 6.4 even if I were spending your money.

    The 7.3 is fine for all years, the rods are only good for 500 hp but to get near or past that cost a good bit of money
    On the chevy don't waste your time on a newer one, tons of injector problems and the "greatest transmission" is a pos
    Cummins is fine for mostly all years except for the truck around it on all years

    Just look at the build thread
    You hit the nail on the head. I'm partial to the 24v cummins over the 12v but you can't go wrong either way.

    Meh. I'd rather go through my CU and pay the .99 than go through Toyota (or whoever) and get 0. They give cash back, free gap insurance and give 0 interest on my credit card for 18 months when I refinance or get a new vehicle loan.
