Moved discussion - Gasser vs Diesel trucks v.need-vs-want

[DEEZUZ]

I tell you what. Next trip we hook it to the BRAAAPTOR and see what you get, champ!

I want this

 

[DEEZUZ]

Stupid thread is stupid

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I never said it was bad nor implied my truck would do it in any capacity without being OTB.

 

[Eagle]

I want this

Won't happen. That bitch would lift his front wheels off the ground. I'd guess <7mpg. Any sign of moisture or snow and she's going off the side of the road as the trailer man handles that little red bitch like the red headed stepchild it is!

 

[DEEZUZ]

If you like junk GM gassers cause you need queer steer to navigate it around grocery store then that fine, but I can fit in Aldi with 37s and straight axles

Dan gets his back fixed, suddenly big dick swinging again.

Sure gassers are reliable, powerful and efficient. (enough)

But reliable as a diesel? Say at 200k+?

Powerful? Like 800ftlbs powerful?

Efficient? Like 18mpg+ efficient? Efficient as diesel while towing?

200k. yes. plenty of LS powered 3/4 ton and 1 ton work trucks with well over 200k miles on original everything (and of course 1/2 ton trucks)


powerful? 800ft lbs... meh. im not doing towing drag races. 3/4 ton 6.0 gm's pull plenty well up to 10k, and there's a REALLY good chance no one in here is pulling more than 10k... like ever.

not to mention gas 1/2 tons pull 11k ish now anyways STUPID weight.

mileage? meh. 6-speed 6.0 3/4 tons get at least 10-12 mpg while towing from what i've experienced towing sizable boats (10k lbs ish trailer weight)

you just said you're getting 14 mpg.

my bosses 6.7 never says more than 16mpg like ever....

12mpg towing a steel trailer?

secretly enjoying this thread for some reason

 

[DEEZUZ]

Cause I could

the diesel bro is strong in this thread

This thread is summed up this way:

Have nots WANT.

The haves gotta beat the haters away with a stick!

Using logic to make WANTS "unnecessary" is just plain silly.

I have no diesel bro, bro!

404 big wheels and tires not found!

 

[Chester Copperpot]

No pintle? No problem. Ratchet straps.

even if i had the desire to get used a rust free, 4x4 crew cab diesel, i don't think i would. i'd save 10k and get the gas counterpart and be happy as a clam.

I have no diesel bro, bro!

404 big wheels and tires not found!

I KNOW YOU DONT BUT WHAT AM I

Bro, I stood on the hitch while towing that bad boy Home

[MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION] what all have you done to your truck since you got it?

all injectors... head gasksets... egr delete...

 

[Eagle]

Full bullet proof with new gaskets and head surfacing, injectors, and tune.

 

[Yaj Yak]

5-6k worth of diesel specific things right?

 

[Eagle]

5-6k worth of diesel specific things right?

And what? Still sounds cheaper than a procharger kit for a 5.0

 

[DEEZUZ]

I just buy new motor

 

[Eagle]

Solid plan

 

[Yaj Yak]

And what? Still sounds cheaper than a procharger kit for a 5.0

of course it is.

but that procharged brand new f150 sure sounds cheaper, more fun, and faster than a new modded ecoboost.

oh and it doesn't sound like poop

Don't fall for this Dan. These people know what their talking about. They KNOW what WE should have.
