That sucks about the truck, you have had so many plans for it. 6.0 leaker, hmm, something I have not heard of, I can only say this to the Cummins, Great Motor, but they come in a lousy shell. This is based on reading, not my experience. My only problem with the Dodge I had is I ate 4 transmissions. I have already gone through 2 on this truck (never to happen again).

Anyhow, Good Morning all. Need to get into the Coffee and a shower.
Most of the plans will be finished before I sell it. I've already spent the money, just need to install them and a quickie paint job.

I've driven all brands and owned most. Working in the car business had its advantages.
My brother and brother in law are both techs. In fact my brother in law has installed a lot of Hemis into Wranglers.

They are very reliable. The 08, has an awesome interior upgrade. The engine is also good in that. My buddy Lee has an 08, just did some mods it runs good to say the least.

Just the economy wasn't as good as the others. Maintainance is huge on any of the diesels now a days.

I have actually listed my Jeep for sale. Have a few things going on with Keli's side of the family. We ba looking to move in the near future. Just kind of bracing myself for that.

I have heard a DPF will improve reliability and MPG. Which is better for mileage, 6.0 or 6.4?

I haven't done any reading on the upgrades for the 6.4, but out of the box stock in 08 the diesel was getting around 9-10, the 07 was 18-20. for the same equipment truck.

the guy I bought my 05 from had an 09 that he was trying to get ford to buy back on lemon law because the fuel economy was so bad. he was averaging 8.

I was told by Brian at BTS that 6.7 will not last 100,000 with the stock exhaust systems, I wonder if this is related to the MPG as well.

LOL. that has nothing to do with it, and it may not sell. Just seeing what might happen. I don't get attached to vehicles.
