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 ... (IMG:http://lawmotorsports.net/mw/2012Sierra/VandSierra1.jpg) |

Whatever floats yer boat. I've owned European and Amurican diesels and will never own another.
Having said that ... there is a stratosphere of difference between a 7.3 PSD and 6.0. Mine was a greaat truck and di everything I asked it to do. But when things begin going south, it's time to move on. New diesels are being saddled with heavily restrictive emissions standards and it appears to be getting worse. Steve, the only way to prove I got the water from that particular Love's was if I bought fuel exclusively from them. Locally, I did purchase from one place and one place only. But when travelling ... Finally, I just don't tow anything any more. So it no longer made sense. |
