I built the most handsome diesel I have ever owned over the past year. Also had to do about $10k in repairs this past year. Its for sale. My V10 replacement wont haul my big arctic fox camper to the top of the hill first, but it will top every hill for a lotta hills!! without costin a dime!

No, it probably means the EPA has put emission systems on them and they are going to stay torn up.

So I was driving along yesterday in our 7.3 work truck like I always do. I got to thinking to myself, boy I sure am happy to drive a diesel truck.

That is all.

Funny, I was driving our F350 the other day, and I commented to my wife how happy I was not to be driving a diesel. Unless I needed to pull something that was way beyond a gasser's limits, I'll never go back to diesel in anything less than a medium duty truck.

You poor heartbroken gasser drivers need a Cummins in your lives. Ole clackety in front of a zf6 and behind a blue oval, 1000 lb ft of torque is awfully pleasurable.

You're right. To the Internet **** generation, Cummins and torque might be too much to handle without thinking it must be the title of a video.

The International Meteorological Society had a plan to solve global warming... it required tilting the earth a few degrees. They had some gasser guy up at the north pole hooked up to it, but he couldn't even get the slack out of the chain. Naturally, they finally called on me and the Mighty Seven Three. We got 'er done. You're welcome.

I got tired of listening to the diesels, too much noise in the cab. Can't even hear the V10 at idle.
