6.0L turbo diesel good or bad ?

[dynodon]

Yep, and all of this technology about how GREAT chevy`s are is coming from a 16 year old !!! HMMMMMMMM Not much experience there IMO.
The chevy`s definatly have had their share of probs also, I know of three peaple in MI that bought them new ( when they first came out) 1 of which has had three of the "awsome" Allison trannies replaced, after leaving them stranded on the road.
And the other 2 have had the motors replaced due to the valves shattering like glass.

They all have their own issues, Thats a FACT, and all are good vehicles to get you where you want to go.
But I will always stick with my 7.3 4x4 to get me there

yea im stupid because im 16, how much experience have you had with a duramax?... liking ford beter is a valid opinion, but sayin alisons are bad tranys is just plain ignorence... if you put a chip more than 120 horse extra the trany will go into limp mode, or break. in stock trim an alison is good for 120hp more than stock. ppe make chips for up to 350 extra flywheel hp but reaquired a built trany(look it up if you dont belive me).
efi live and a lift pump can probably make more than 350 extra horspower...

and you have a 7.3, wich is a beter moter than the new powerjokes

i was gunna saysomthing  to this post but a duramax is not worth my time

ignorent

200,000 mile warenty on the injectors wether the moters chiped or not. :R :R :R

I NEVER said you were ignorant ( unlike yourself, calling names) BUT, you are showing who really is with your posts, and name throwing.
My statement was being 16, you couldnt possibly have the experience to make BOLD statements like that. But listening in on the adults conversations ,makes you an expert I see.

I said what my experience with the duracraps were, These are close friends of mine who have had SERIOUS problems, and just for your info, I NEVER claimed them to be "chipped", ( you assumed), However , they have NOT been " chipped".

You know, my dad always had a saying that I now understand with age. " quick get out on your own while you still know everything".
 Kinda fits here quit well I think.

i am far from knowing evrything but that dosent meen i dont know anything. and my dad and my brother both own duramaxes... how many duramaxes have you owned? sounds like u just heer stories from you buddies. and listening in on adult conversations has not made me an expert, i like to stay edjucated about the things im into. you just think your ford the best because you own it if you had a cummins it would be the best, you sound like you dont know a whole lot about diesels and you are just defending your truck. i think the 7.3 was a much beter engine than chevys 6.5 diesel back in the day, but right now ford has the wors diesel but thats just my opinion

[dynodon]

Ha, your funny.
I dont have to defend my 7.3, I own two of them one since 98`. My father also owns one and has since before the turbo in 91.
I am NOT just repeating GOSSIP, Why would I ?? these are lifelong friends of mine who had there trucks in the shop for several weeks waitng to get fixed.
In fact a close friend of mine here in florida has one, Nice truck too, He says he loves it.
But sounds to me like your the one defending the Duracrap only due to your dad and brother owning one.

Now, Me owning my first 7.3 since 98`, I am NOT new to the diesel scene, which probably says more than you can, seeing how you were what 6 yrs old at that time.

You repeatedly have tried to put words in my mouth by assuming these chevy trucks I spoke of were chipped, that I others who disagreed with you were ignorant.
I never said or made the claim that the powerstrokes were the best out there, again you made the assumption that I felt that way. The 7.3`s are, some of the 6.0`s arent and some are great.
But you know, once I looked at your profile, That explained it to me. Which is why I posted about the saying my dad always said.

  Yea the truck is really in great shape but I think I am going to Order new 38" Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips for it.  The truck runs great and has tons of power. The price also includes new Tires.

you just think your ford the best because you own it if you had a cummins it would be the best, you sound like you dont know a whole lot about diesels and you are just defending your truck.

Your right kawasaki racer he doesn't know what he's talkin about, he don't know nothin about Banshee's either & there just a simple 2 stroke LOL.

im sory, but it REALY seems like u just dont know alot about diesels and is mad because i said something bad about ford so u tere me up because your a ford fan and use the fact that im 16 to explain why my opinion is useless and rong. i stand by the fact that cummins and duramax are a superior engine to the powerstroke rite now.

i dont think im smarter than you or anything but it seems like you just pissed because my opinion isnt the same as yours.

no, because that is not an argument. Straight Pipes are the best.

as far as Powerstroke, Duramax, Cummins...... Well to be honest, they all suck. But they are the only 3 available in everyday trucks right now.

Yfz, yeah , me too !!! I Kinda miss it.


Kaw400, NO, You WRONG entirely here, and off the point.
I could care less what your opinion is on which truck is best, Its your attitude, and slinging names is what pissed me off. Anyone of us would have let it go with "thats your opinion" on the topic, BUT, when you start calling names like " IGNORANT" to an ELDER , you are showing who really is ignorant.
Back in the day, when I was your age. If you would have said that to me, you would definitely had a tooth sandwich. I didnt put up with remarks like that at all, didnt matter who you were. Now, I just let whoever carry on to show their true colors. I understand your 16 and know more right now than any of us EVER will.
I have stated time and time again in my posts, that they are all good trucks, I like mine, you like your dads/ bros or whatever.
GIVE it a REST youngster

[KB]

thats right Don,
nobody's bashing the kid, I always said if some could print it out & read it in 10 more yrs. maybe they would understand, I'm sure I said some pretty dumd thing when I was 16 & I'm lucky to be here today(we all are), but some of us are older & grown now & think differently now, youll get it to racer kid in about 20 yrs., it seems like a long time but it'll be there quick.Be prepared.
Nobody's saying your bad, but you should just let it go, lifes too short to sweat the small sh!t, go out, have some fun while you still can & stop all this racket.

FWIW, there is a kiddy section here if you care to check it out.
