I always had muscle cars like Road Runners and 'Cudas when my friends were in Skyline Truckers out of Corona CA. but I went to many truck runs with them.  Many of the larger meets had contests like Tug o' War with serious mud in the center.  Lots of $$$ and bragging rights went along with this and for several years running we never lost a match.   Some of you who have met me know I'm kind of on the bigger side, well my buddies were all about the same.   One time I passed out in a park in Irvine and they had to drag me to the truck.  When I woke up a was all scratched and bleeding, because they literally dragged me.  Asshats.   :mad:    "What I was too big for you guys to carry?"    "Yeah actually" they told me.

I was right there with you on that one brotherman, but I am sold now.  I towed my 21-foot Hallett, on her maiden voyage, along with all my camping gear and enough tools (including cherry picker and engine stand) to pull and rebuild my engine and pump, if necessary, in an $800 beater 83 6.2L Suburban.  I made it all the way to Crazy Horse Campground in Havasu, from Colton, CA on less than 18 gallons of fuel.  There is no way one of our big block duallies, or even a small block, could have done that.  Granted, I did not set any land speed records on the way out there.

 2. Improve gas milage from 13 hwy stock ride height to 18 hwy 6 inch lift on 35s
  3. Went from 4l60e with 4.10 to Allison 6 speed 3.73 lowered rpm on top of diesel should outlast gas anyway

Yep it was all sarcasm towards cliffjumper. He knows I have a 06 F350 6.0 powerstroke and 09 chevy 3500 6.6 d max. Both trucks are straight piped and efi live tuned. I love my diesel duallys. Don't think I'll ever have a regular gas truck in my life. Pretty sure if cliffjumper and I hooked up our trucks to a house we could rip it off the foundation lol.

A decked out F-350 with the new 6.7 is around 80K.

A diesel owner who isn't buying the truck for hauling everyday is just wasting money and/or trying to make up for other shortcomings in their life.    >:D

I agree with this in terms of  a new truck. However I sold my gas truck and bought a used 60k mile F250 4x4, lariat with the 6.0 with some bullet proof upgrades for under $20k. I have a lot more fun in this truck than any gas truck that I've owned. I do use it mostly to tow our travel trailer, but I wouldn't go back to gas if I sell the trailer or move to a motorhome.

I do agree with you to a certain extent. No need for a brand new f350 or a 3500. The new ones are garbage anyway. I bought my 09 3500 with 50k mi for 40 out the door. She's made me over 100 k so far within 7 month. Buying a new diesel is pointless. Shouldn't haul with a new one for 5k miles any way.

I'll probably never own another diesel unless I need it. I had a 99 F250 with the 7.3 and it was alright, the only good thing about the truck was is was a short bed extended cab so it was small and light an I was getting 26mpg with tony wildman tunes but other than that it sucked owning a diesel. Couldn't Cary in a conversation in the truck... At all, $350 oil changes, $300 a year to register it, every time I went to the gas station all the diesel pumps were blocked by mini vans (no joke it never failed) and then when the smog law passed for diesels it completely killed it. All because everyone thought it was cool to rial coal and black out freeways, city streets and people walking. It's only a matter of time before we start seeing JDM and drift stickers plastered on diesel trucks blaring techno music because every diesel truck owner is turning into a teenaged kid in a sh!t box Honda.

Wow I highly suggest u hop in any of the 3 brand turbo diesels.  That ole reliable 7.3 was a DOG.  and pretty noisy.  The power levels are a few hundred more as well as torque.  Stock.  As far as the mini van in front of the pump still happens and if u dont need to tow much it probly isnt worth it.  Shit the new GM half ton tows 11 or 12 now but thats a brand new rig.  I looked at a new ford but who wants to pay 800 a month.  But I did settle for mid 2000 and all of em grew leaps and bounds from that 7.3 that wouldnt get out of its own way if u were looking for speed but I like it over the 6.0L. Unless u like the fact that they used two less head bolts on each side than the General and Mopar trucks or that u need ARP head studs steada the reg bolts cuz they like to blow thier thin shitty head gaskets or leak coolant through the egr cooler.  But some didnt have issues or at least it fixable.  The epa stuff sux but not really big deal when u see how fast these big ole heavy duty go down the road at the speed they do nowadays its amazing.  4 door long bed shittin on pony cars pretty fun.  Sorry if i offend ford guys now that u make ur own motor ur ok in my book again.  Dear Dodge I know you Dodge bros started building cars a long time ago but can u guys get a tranny right???.  Anyway continuing with my rant in 98 I painted the steel at Pixar Animation I worked with a guy with a 4 banger viper red dakota bagged sittin on stock style yellow wheels.  I didnt get it but the mini truck dudes from the 80s loved it and I learned to each thier own and now that Im not an 18yr kid I totally realize his work and creativity.
