If its so much easier to sell a 6.0 then a v10, how come it took my buddy almost 1 1/2 years to get rid of his v10. Only had 60k and was an extremly clean. When his bother sold his 6.0 it was gone in a week and wasnt any where near as nice a truck.

Perhaps the asking price had some bearing on it?

This is starting to remind me of the "bump" thread in other forums.

04 redstroker - Diesel!

Bill - V10

Tater - 7.3!

someone else - Why is this thread still here???

It's gotten nearly pointless - but it's apparently still difficult to resist. Like Pringles.

.... "bump"

i guarantee, any mod, done to any vehicle (i know this is hard to take, but), even diesels would not be an investment. Actually Brian, the simple definition of investment is to put out capital to gain capital. we have all seen the lifted to the sky diesel trucks with $100K into the truck and the sale price is at $45K, with the popular, my loss is your gain statement, so the bottom line is, no one builds up their truck expecting to gain capital when sold, except maybe you

"The Song That Never Ends" (variantly known as "The Song That Doesn't End") is a self-referential and infinitely recursive children's song. The song is a single verse long, written in an infinite-loop motif in a march style, such that it naturally flows in a cyclical fashion, repeating the same verse over and over. It is very popular with children, typically sung when doing something repetitive or boring.

This is the song that doesn't end,
Yes, it goes on and on, my friend.
Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was,
and they'll continue singing it forever just because...

While there are an infinite number of ones and zeros in the universe, this thread has already consumed far more than it's share.
