V10's still working

I see these all the time myself. I'm sure the 6.0's and 6.4's scared these companies off. Wonder if they'll make their way back to diesels with stuff finally catching up. But I'm sure that sting in their pocketbooks for repairs still remains strong and deleted any mpg savings they were hoping for.

Talking to the guy, he had some experience going back a ways. The last truck he had was a GMC, a gasser. Before that, he had another Ford. Sounded like a 7.3. He hated it. Noise, stink, can't just shut it down when you want to, etc. His words, not mine
For what they use it for, the gassers are perfect. They're either sitting in place up on a pole, or working in a customer's premises. Move the truck 20 feet, shut it down. Do some work. Move it back, shut it down. Do more work. A diesel would self-destruct in that environment pretty quickly if not handled properly.
For the weight they're carrying, using the 450/550 class trucks and a gas engine is perfect. The larger bucket trucks, are all diesels, but you can't really get anything BUT diesel in that

Been looking for one of these myself, but with a dump on it. Tough to find as they are either newer and $$$ or older and rot boxes. People just don't let these go easily.
