It's not your fault Brent.

Go for the diesel! If you're willing to put the time/money into it then I don't see why you wouldn't. Yes the gassers can be considered easier to own, but if you're willing to put the time and cash in why not go for the diesel?
1 - Arnold hasn't been our governor since 2011
2 - I registered my 7.3L diesel just fine in CA

Yes, I know you're joking.

I love my diesel. For $6800 there's no way I'd pass that up. If you get it cleaned up nice you should make your money back no problem.

Get a tuner/chip for it, you won't be disappointed.

Arnold is all washed up. He went from rich, famous, and muscleman to pretty much nothing. Especially after the fling with the doggy housekeeper.

Rich with no muscles, wife, or integrity, plus they split his 400 million.
He will drift into history now with his ugly housekeepers' kid.

That's because he can afford to fix it and he has to bolster his macho image..........since his muscles are gone.

Apoc, when have you ever seen two different diesel engines available in a Ford rig at the same time? As Michael likes to say...

...as short as this thing was made it seems like they would have done the same thing the whole way through.
How? The 6.0L PSD wasn't introduced until after the 2003 MY run started. It replaced the 7.3L PSD.

C'mon Apoc, smashed tomato* bro!

Give him a break, he's been disillusioned this whole time thinking his 5.4 was sufficient. He's one of them 'spark plug' people.

Oh yeah, quick side note. Sometime a thread doesn't go down a dark path unless someone intentionally directs it down that path. So keep that in mind if you scroll back and see a bunch of posts missing....and then take a hint.

Hints? With missing posts? As in somebody crossed the line with something they said and you had to step in and moderate it, possibly PM them to privately chastise them?

Whoever would do such a thing....?

I have many meme replies to this, all of which would result in you yelling at me.
