I've been shopping for several months, trying to figure out where I'm headed now that racing junky itch is finally gone. It was fun while it lasted, but nothing lasts forever.

After paying $4/gallon for water at a Love's Truck Stop and subsequently $3K for injectors and a lot fuel delivery components, I'm done with diesels.

Tomorrow I trade for a 2013 GMC SLT 1500 CC 6.2L 4x4. Has the trailering package, so its equipped with coolers, HD rear diff and springs and 3.73 gearing. Maybe I'll buy an Airstream and join the good SAM club ...

I was serious about a Hemi Laramie, but just couldn't justify the cost. I found a couple which had wheels, tires, lift and custom leather seats and the price was jacked $16K. Better be some nice damn wheels.

And a 6.2L motor in a F150 was near $60K

So its home ...

12.4L ...

You weren't able to prove that the gas station sold you water? I've read of this happening and the gas station ended up paying for repairs. Plus, for $3000 you could have upgraded your injectors, along with the other fuel component and have it tuned. You would have had a towing machine. Easily 400hp and 800 tq to the ground, all with better fuel economy.

But you obviously know I'm a huge diesel fan. My early 99 F250 Powerstroke now has 228,000 miles and runs great. 20 MPG on the highway. 15 MPG while towing.

I know diesels aren't for everyone (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
