I might be wrong but I believe he's just messing with you. I think he's older than you.

That's more of jake's department. Just saw a blue 6 for sale and thought you might be selling it.
This entire thread boils down to diesel is better.

I'm young, but I have quit a bit of towing miles and mechanical experience under my belt.

No kidding....Knowledge and Wisdom are 2 different animals... Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not to use a tomato in a fruit salad...Or trying to outpull a 6.4 with a V10...

Dang I thought you was older for some reason. If I was 18 you wouldn't catch me on a forum of any kind.

The time I do spend is worth it for all the things I learn about these trucks.

Bought a new 2000 Crewcab dually with the V10 (still stock) and it does what I need it to do, but it has never seemed like the pulling power was as I thought it should be. Always hunting gears with speed control set and pulling even my single axle enclosed boy scout trailer. But it seems to get the job done. Gas milage drops considerably when pulling trailers of any description...8-9 mpg. Gets 10-12 mpg unloaded, so problably could have paid for the diesel by now. Maybe next time.

You have to remember that yours has much less power than the 05-10 V10s, and a tranny thats not as good.
You still have 60HP over the PSD that was sold that year.
