the official OBS diesel off topic thread
X2. I guess I could afford a new truck but I love these and don't want payments
I'm definitely a number 2. Maybe a little bit of number 3 also. These trucks came out while I was in High School and I really liked them then. More recently I wanted a diesel for a number of reasons, and needed a crew cab and this generation seemed like the logical choice. I'm definitely glad I ended up with what I did; "just an old work truck", lol. Right, Bill?
Morning guys.
Thanks!
On the #1, #2, #3 scale, I'm probably a bit #2 and #3. I just like this body style right behind the late 60's/early 70's versions. Not to mention the price tag - a good diesel in this area that is relatively clean goes for big bucks, but I got this one for a good price and most importantly it's MINE - the bank doesn't have the title for it...I do.

Ehh I think I could classify as all 3 lol. I'd love to have a new 6.7 or even an EcoBoost but I still haven't got over the sticker shock...
#2 because I love these old... BS's? Lol!
And #3 because the only reason I have powerstrokes Is because of the price and their reputation. If a 6.0 were the same price, I'd still take the 7.3

I can't get past the sticker shock on the new ones...way too much money for me man. When a truck is stickered at something just short of the appraised value of my house, something's wrong lol.
I gotta say, those 6.0's when they're built right can throw some serious HP down, but it's the extra up-front cost I couldn't swallow. I gave a LOT of thought to one when I was diesel shopping, but glad I landed with the OBS.

1) I really would rather have only one OBS and one new 6.7.
2) I was a kid just getting into trucks when the OBS PSDs starting rolling around. I wanted one bad for the next 11 years.
3) I don't care what it is, if it won't get the job done then its got to go!
That point #3 is loaded with so much truth!
