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 ...

I helped a friend put an $8,000 crate 7.3 Powerstroke (plus a $2,000 core charge) in his truck that had a hurt diesel. That was after $1,800 in injectors and other stuff. Honestly, diesels seem great as long as they run with nothing but oil changes. Once something breaks, the cost seems insane. I was seriously considering one at one time, but I've lost interest due to too many horror stories.
