6.0L turbo diesel good or bad ?

Smoknbanshee · August 12, 2007, 01:58:27 PM

Let me make one very good valid point. UNTIL YOU OWN A TRUCK AND PAY THE MAINTENANCE ON IT AND DRIVE IT EVERYDAY, you really don't have a justifiable opinion. My daddies truck, my uncles truck, my sister's truck, etc. does not merit you to a justifiable opinion on whether the truck is good or not. Anyone can go onto several different diesel forums and get all the information they need on diesels and make a valued assumption on what truck is going to best fit their needs. It's kind of like me test riding a yfz450, and then coming on here and telling everyone how great they are, etc. I can tell you all about a banshee, a grizzly, a 2003 7.3 powerstroke, 99 ford mustang, etc. because I have owned, operated, maintained, done my own work on all those vehicles. Half the freaking threads around here get mudded up from people opinion on something instead of their interactive history on something. I don't care if your 16 or 61, your opinion means nothing to me, because you don't own a diesel, or if you have you haven't owned it for long.

because you don't pay for it, you don't drive it everyday, that makes it unjustifiable. I own a ford now, but my next truck will most likely be a dodge cummins. I like that truck better than a ford, but I own what I could afford.

you dont drive a cummins around so its unjustifyable to say its beter than waht your driving now. see how that dosent realy aply? im done with this argument, iv deleted my last sevral posts. move on.

Are you f*&king kidding me? what I want to do and buy is my opinion and I am not forcing that on anyone. Heck, I am not sitting here saying ford is better, or dodge is better, I am just saying my next truck will probably be a dodge. I have done my research and feel that i want to try a dodge out. I am not sitting on this post saying dodge is better because. You see what I am saying? okay now I am going to say it, you are 16, when you get a little more mature and grown up you will understand what REASONABLE JUSTIFY means.

It's kind of like this. I work for a packaging facility. If I want to reasonable justify why the company should purchase this machine, do you think I am going to go talk to supervisor's that oversee the machine or and I going to go talk to the mechanic and operator that operates the machine? The supervisor doesn't sit there and operate the machine, or maintain the machine, he just supervises the process. Is that anymore clear for you? You don't own the truck, you watch your brother drive it, you might help him work on it, but from your post you have done much to it.

i feel that duramax is beter, as you feel that cummins is better. I mentioned i like duramax beter about 20 posts ago and all you guys have done is bashed me, all i did was defend myself, not tryed to force my opinion. i realy dont know how to explain myself any more, im so tired of this thread and all of you bashing me. just end it...

dynodon · August 12, 2007, 03:31:02 PM

Funny you say that Jason, I was thinking the EXACT same thing. I was looking @ a new dodge in town ( looks REALLY nice) and considering trading my new one in at the end of the year for it...... Go figure

Sorry, BUT no-one "bashed " you about your opinion, you were trying to force your opinion on peaple that didnt agree, then started the name throwing......... Thats when the bashing started, But like I said, I understand, I was 16 once too.

agreed. my point was if you don't own it, operate it, maintain it, your opinion is just that an opinion. You have not reasonable justification to persuade a person to buy one or the other. at the end of the day your buying a diesel which is a good thing IN MY OPINION.

yeah man, don't get me wrong, I love my 7.3, and it has been very reliable, minus the alternator and front wheel bearings, but I really really like the dodge cummins. I don't do alot of heavy pulling and most of my driving is to and from work, I just need the truck for when I need to haul cattle, lumber, travel trailer, 4-wheelers, etc. Put an air intake, exhaust, GAUGES, and tuner and hope to get some really good gas mileage. Momma is getting her Toyota Seqouia before I get my Dodge Cummins though, so it will be a few years.

yfz122 · August 12, 2007, 03:48:08 PM

that cummins motor might be sitting in a ford truck by then. my uncle just told me that he thinks ford bought out cummins. he has worked for ford for close to thirty years. i hope it is not just a rumor.

kfx400rob · August 12, 2007, 04:09:23 PM

trx#9 · August 12, 2007, 04:20:16 PM

1977 Chevy Luv, best truck ever. They had like 394 hp and 635.21ft. lbs. torque from the factory. They'd run 8.60's at 150mph + in the 1/4, got 28 mpg in town and 32 on the highway and had windsheild wipers. I had a buddy that put chrome valve covers on his along with some neon lights under it and he picked up like 47 hp.

They were bad azz.

Hmmmmm. I thought it was 65hp with those mods...... OHHHH I bet he didn't use the Bowtie shaped wingnuts to bolt down the head covers.

6.0L turbo diesel good or bad ?
