The Worst & Best Diesel Trucks to Buy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2018
- We read or hear all the time about hypothetical diesel truck builds. 10K or 20K and the truck is magically a performance truck. The real question is, what truck are you actually buying? Is it a ticking time bomb? How much of your money goes to repairs and holds back performance upgrades? How can you quickly and easily tell if the truck for sale is junk? This will episode will tell you.

This video would be better with someone on a computer putting images of these particular trucks and parts or issues. It would be greater education from a dummies perspective. Haha
So me lol
I was thinking the same thing
@@brodeyslagle357 I feel that
No matter which engine you have!!! Gas or Diesel!!!! People, let your engine warm up before you raise hell with it!!!!
Then let it cool down at idle before you shut it down!!!!!! or don't and cause premature wear!!!
Once the oil pressure is up I drive off and putt through the neighborhood. Ditto on the way home. I putt through the neighborhood for a couple of blocks,check the gauge and shut it off.
I just subscribed! Nice to find a place and information where someone knows their Sht.. I learned a lot from this segment already.
👍
Wonderful tips guys, you always have top notch videos for diesel enthusiasts new and old alike :)
First of all. I love this podcast. I don’t listen to other podcasts so thanks. I sold my ‘97 and regretted it ever since. I’m going back to a Cummins diesel for a truck camper. The thing that is great about this episode is that most info is failures related to putting more power on the truck. For those of us that want a reliable stock truck, this is really helpful. I can buy a 5th gen but may go 4th gen. Thank YOU!
Thank you for listening, we appreciate the support!
Thank you for bringing so much info to one place.
New sub ! Thank you for this very helpful info. 👍
I am and have learned so much watching/listening to these episodes. I wanna get a diesel so bad now. I don't need one and it'd be more practical to get a 1 ton gasser for what I'd use it for, but there's just something about a diesel. I gotta build up my fold 💵 first in order to afford one, but I've been looking and there's some pretty decent 6.0, 7.3, and 6.7 powerstrokes, and ram cummins 3500s out there for 10k-15k. A lot of them that have already had all the gremlins fixed on them and upgrades done already.
Best podcast Ever, Thank you. !
Thanks for all the info!!
Thanks for this..this guy knows his shit..ive run 2 stock 5.9 3rd gen cummins for 17yrs on chuckwagon circut..been great.but i do all reg service myself..any minor maintenance kin be done easily by yourself..cheap to fix.easy to work on..why i run them..
Thx for info ! Grat video thx
awesome podcast full of information that is valuable
Great interview and great info for all 2 thumbs up
Great podcast 👍
Looking at 2013 Dodge Ram 3500 longhorn dually with a aisin 6 speed
I bought my 2005 Cummins brand new left it stock... still on stock trans and injectors
200,000 miles...
Most diesel truck owners fuck their trucks up sending it and modding it like crazy for a drag truck you sir are rocking your truck
You probably will have like 300k more miles on the stock engine but probably more
Exactly 💯, this crazy modification would destroy your truck
I run 2 all stock..320km on them..pulling about 10,000 lb ea..for 90% of there milage..both fine..but i dont bag them out either..just saying

I bought my 07 lbz last year with my old truck trade in for 15k and it had 195k on it now its 215 and the only problem was the glow plug and my thermostat
Very informative

Great information.
I'm buying my first Cummins truck myself this year it's an O2 Dodge Cummins 5.9 Cummins diesel with a 4-speed automatic transmission
Nice I bought a 03 Cummins with only 157k miles for my business. Been about 8 months and I already put 25k miles on it
Great one guys
I hear so many different opinions on diesel ownership. I have a 2018 2500hd with gas motor & it’s time to start looking for my next truck. I’m a landscaper & I pull a 7 x 14 dump trailer & a 16ft utility trailer. I want a new L5P for my next truck. What kind of problems can I see my that truck? I’m in Ohio so I push snow also. My current truck is a good truck, it just doesn’t have much power.
My lbz stock turbo went put at 210ish-k miles and it was spewing oil and just degrading in how it was , the shop said new turbo, most cost effective even though it was a pretty penny to put in but I decided to get a new one , a garrett powermax stage 1 cause I don't have my truck tuned and I love the new turbo
Hi, can you do a podcast about vans?
I have the 7.3 e350, and I'm in the market for another one, I'll be happy to know more about 6.0 piwerstroke, and chevy express duramax.
Thanks.
Nice podcast, I love your content 👌
GREAT 👍 JOB..1HR INTERVEIW THAT PURE ENJOYMENT
Francis Sullivan thanks!
Deleted 08 6.7 Cummins, mild tune, fixed turbo, upgraded torque converter, flex plate and valve body is one stout rig. Good engine, 6speeds trans, not horrible interior, tons of power
Great podcast! I have and love my 04.5 nv5600 3500. It has quite a few upgrades but I am strongly considering something with more room for the growing family. The 4th gens are awesome but the 68rfe has me weary. Ive always driven manual since ive been driving but the fiancee cant drive it. Nonetheless, The 5.9 CR are tough trucks!

My '07 Ram 5.9 regcab G-56 w/115K has a standing offer of $30K. 8/10 shape. I paid $31,750 before tax and license in '06. Dave Smith gave me the deal of the century.
Thank you. I am looking for a truck and I want a diesel truck but I know nothing pretty much about diesel engine. I know about cars and trucks but like the Diesel trucks thanks
Diesel trucks are awesome, indeed! There is a learning curve. They are expensive when something goes wrong. Fuel is more expensive. Its alot for someone that's coming from the gas life.
My 08 Dodge Ram 3500 is throwing codes PO700, PO205, PO206, and PO204. It is skipping when I drive it. What’s the fix for this problem ? And how much will it cost?
What rating would you guys give to an 07 Silverado 2500HD from 1-10?
Helped me a lot great podcast I’m looking on getting a diesel does anyone know a good dealer for new and used trucks in MA I’m might be moving back east soon would help a lot thank you
stay away from diesel world in plaistow nh. They are crooks
The 7.3 will rise again
I've got 5 7.3 trucks.

@@xDieselv I didn't say that they all ran or where even nice haha.
My 02 crew cab lariat shortbed 4x4 factory 6 speed f350 single wheel is the gem id say of the stuff i own
Correct me if I’m wrong. There isn’t any difference between the 5 and 6 speed Allison. The gear was there but never utilized. Just a change in the computer program.
Terminator Two it involves a TCM and valve body change for the conversion. They run $1500-$1600 in the aftermarket.
The Diesel Podcast Gotcha 👍
My 2006 L B Z with 300,00 miles on it is now as for many years taking me across the U S A to my summer home. 8.5 ft camper on its back pulling a 5000 pd boat behind . 13 mpg with air on. Uses and leaks no oil. Injectors at 245,000 otherwise brakes and tires and one glow plug. Like new body as its a Alabama truck. I’ll never part with it.
Run from the new 4 cylinder Durmax that are in the Canyon and Colorado's. I had a 2018 ZR2 with a Durmax. Love how the truck handles and its off road ability. However, it was in the shop over 12 times with less than 28K miles. Always throwing codes. GM replaced everything short of the motor. They spent over $5k keeping me in rental vehicles. Gm has had the same issue with the model. GM finally purchased the truck back from me. Sad to say but but I'm going to hang up my Chevy hat. Time for a RAM.
LMAO @ you
Kit can make 47 or 48re shift hard FYI... all have been touched
Common 4gen g56 dual disk clutch problem solved towin heavy throw a Eaton in it.
If you want a dmax go get you some kryptonite front end parts , the best of the best you can buy for those weak front ends lol
I am new to diesels looking for a GMC - can you explain all the codes? I am looking for a 2011-2015 based on price range... Not sure what LML is? Can you help?
Mark Leukus Hi Mark! Sure thing, the engine codes will refer to the year range:
2001-04 LB7
2004.5-05 LLY
2006-07 LBZ
2008-10 LMM
2011-16 LML
2017 - current L5P
For a general overview, each year range and engine code made changes for various emission requirements. Fuel system parts, turbo, electronics and transmission can change from each year range. This is very general, as some components didn’t change much like suspension or driveline parts. If you have specific questions, let us know and we will get a Duramax expert on an episode!
I still think the 06 Chevy 2500 is best. No dpf, no emissions standards, reliability and decent mpg.
Yes, the lbz duramax is great
Why only the 06 and not the 07 Classic it is an LBZ too the 07.5 is when dpf was added
Except for the egr
Put a solid front axle on it and I'm with you.
Is that the 6.6l?
The problem with this guy is he is not looking at the full picture for the 03-07 cummins...
The cost of maintenance alone on a 08+ 6.7 cummins and the reliability issues with them is HUGE then, if you delete a 4th gen your driving it illegally and in states where you need a inspection your screwed. Anything with emissions for a diesel I say get a smaller engine gas burner and turbo it and enjoy better efficiency being lighter and more power.
The 4th gen 68rfe is a beautiful transmission but it's not the 68rfe and it's caviots. It's all the 6.7 emissions passed 06-07.
The greatest part about a late 5.9, even the earlier 03-05 these are the most simplistic design across all platforms and the most owner friendly to biuld. I am 34years old and after 6 months of learning about the 48re and it's RE family, I biult a friend his first REAL transmission with every single weak area addressed and or updated within the valve body... the case mods billet parts alto red eagle clutches with a factory clutch or two added nearest the piston apply to help forther tailor the feel of the shifts. and so far I've biult 4 transmissions with my first one for my friend and he has already 320k on it and with the 3/16 extra wide front band is holding up very well, i did adjust it for him but I can tell you based on what I see with all the work done so far I think I built him a solid 500k + transmission. 5forward clutches 8 directs and added clutches in the over drives... yes you've read that correct 5 clutches OVER the original 4 in forward drum and 8 clutches OVER the original 5 in the direct ( 47re have 3-FWD and 4-DIRCT mine is 5-FWD and 8-DIRCT let that sink in also with the added pressure we have easily increased the capacity 400-500% I'd have to do the math also clearances are slightly tighter to help the seals last longer and move less) the goal is efficiency and longevity aswell as. Durability.
A few parts: Billet extensded hub sonnax input shaft for the first three and for mine in doing billet throughout aswell as a larger output and tcase spool. As it is the only 4x4 one I'v biult and I want it to hold up to allot of abuse should it get to over 750hp
Also the converters I used was all DPC 400 understall triple disk converters with exception to my 4x4 having a 1400stall for max possible efficiencies in the city and highway as ill be living on the road. Also doing a solid hub in the front and locking hubs aswell as a new billet Tru-track LSD I also am biulding the motor with a 6.7 crank for the added compression and displacement at 6.09liter. The goal is highest possible torque at the 700hp range down low to support the lower stall converter.
Ported to the absolute max head by myself stock valve size upgraded and modified with a large anti reversion lip. Ported banks intercooler Ported banks air horn 67/67 custom billet turbo banks super scoop and intake system 188/220 cam billet bridges upgraded oush rods and conical springs and Also will be running a billet Trans pump gear set the Trans also has rollerized planets and just a massive full biuld list. Yes I'm spending over 20k to biuld it but this is the way you biuld a purpose biult rig. M
My goal is 30mpg and atleast 500k before I need to touch it again (outside of maintenance)and I'm not claiming it's possible BUT if it is ill have a good chance of getting there. With this setup
Welllll damnnnnnn!!!!
Shout out to all Pre DEF Diesel Owners out there!! Great breakdown on common issues on various Diesel variants! Still waiting for CAT and Allison to go into business to make the ultimate truck available!! I'd buy one for sure! #IdRatherBeCummingThanStroking#CummingsForLife
I’m just looking for a truck to tow landscaping equipment and dump trailers, I don’t want 1,000 hp but I would like a nice clean running truck with a delete ? Or keep stock ?
Duramax4Life I absolutely love my 2002 7.3 Powerstroke. It’s my daily driver. Only major issues I’ve had was trans but probably my own doing pushing as much as I am to the stock trans. Ever since I got a built one no issue, and I just did ring and pinion at 172k miles. I 100% trust my 7.3 every day
Maybe I missed it but trying to find out the name of this diesel dealer in mid Missouri? I my self live in Missouri and am in the market for a diesel. Thanks.
Mid Mo Diesel!! Jared Moser
Would you say the 2009 chevy duramax is the best model to get?
What’s his shop called I live in Missouri and I’m looking for a diesel
Mid Mo Diesel
Duramaxes from 2000- 2010 have broken crank issues. Had 3 of them in our shop with this issue so far in 3 years. Big time problem. As low as 50 k miles.
1 truck a year in a shop that only works on diesel Eng and this a “Big time problem”? How many 6.0’s or Dodge tyranny’s?!?! Those must meet astronomical numbers!!!🤔
Thomas Carrillo we do not only work on diesels. This is only 50% of our work. There are 2 duramax only shops within 15 miles of our shop and they have seen it too. The cranks have 1” holes bored right in the connecting rod journals for weight reduction, and they snap off. Even on stock engines they break. 1 lb7 had 270k miles- stock. Other lbz had 150k, just did an 80 horse tune n egr delete, within 2 weeks it was back with broken crank. Another local shop had 1 as low as 50k miles- stock. We have also done a dozen head gaskets on stock duramaxes - 2 which were less than 100 k miles. We have done 1- 6.0 trans in last 3 years in f 550 dump truck. The only thing that failed was a reverse hub. ( not very common) everything else was fine. And this contractor has 3- 6.0s, and runs them hard. 1-6.4. / We have done 4 Allison’s, 6 Dodge automatics. 70% of Our customers drive duramaxes, so we have plenty of work.
@@ppump24valve53 If you rev the crap out of a max it will break the crank. best thing you can do for a duramax that your gonna beat up is get a fluid dampener on the crank
I have a 95 GMC 2500 .. 2 wheel drive auto for sale .
I've owned it since 05 or so . Too many
new parts to mention . 6.5 diesel
What about dodges manual transmission? Any good?
Clay Jones They can be solid depending on power level and clutch upgrade. Stay tuned for an episode releasing in the next 7-10 days with Valair Clutch going over dodge manual transmissions.
I had an 04 with a 6 speed and it was absolutely wonderful.
What is the name of the truck dealership in Missouri?
Jerry Thomas Mid-MO Diesel LLC
Nice
What are your thoughts on ford 6.9 diesels?
the older IDIs? I mean theyre gonna be old so most of the factory plastic and rubber parts might be in rough shape. And its an international so it leaks like a bitch
I owned one, I loved it. It got great fuel mileage but man it was slow.
So if i was to get a Cummins 5.9 , what would you recommend a 12v or a 24v?
12 valve for sure but the 24 valves aren't bad either. But the 24s have more issues
I have 2 5.9's that are 12 valve 1st gens and one 24 valve. They are both great engines but I prefer the 12 valves because maintenance is easy and the trucks are so simple. The dodge truck around the engine has needed repairs or course, the engine keeps on chugging 400K on one and 300k on another. Original V-pumps still going but I am going to rebuild them soon for preventative maintenance. I've had to replace the injector pump on the 24v at about 150,000. The 12v starts faster than any engine I've owned. Even in -20 temps if you have a good battery and cold diesel additives in the fuel. below 10 degrees I recommend using the block heater if the truck has one just to save wear and tear of the engine having to warm on its own. I do recommend a manual trans if possible, they hold up better behind the Cummins especially if want to tune the engines up. These guys have great tips to look for in this video. Best of luck to you if you decide to get one! :)
12v So much room to work under the hood, easy motor to work on, cheaper then any other! Reliable
@@tristenweems5734 Not up here in minnesota, 12 valves have become the 2jz of the truck world.. so sought after and so few good ones.
Id say 12v but if you need a 24v, MAKE SURE TO CHECK IF ITS A 53 BLOCK OR NOT. Theres a big number on the side of all 24valves and if it says 53 STAY AWAY, the blocks are less thick and prone to cracking on the 53s
Why is the CP4 pump still being used? With its history I do not understand why Ford and Ram still use them?
Ram recently switched back to the CP3. Maybe that will spur Ford and GM to do the same.
@@TheDieselPodcast Thanks, I believe that GM has used the Denso Pump since 2017 on the L5P's. So if Ram is going back to the CP3 then that leaves only Ford using the CP4.
Excellent talk, even at 4 years old.
Thanks for checking it out! We had a ton of fun on this episode, with lots of great info.
What would you say about a 98 doge truck it has over 4000000 and he has put 4 transmission in it
It's all about maintenance and not putting a tune on it. Keep it stock and dont drive it like a teenager who's dad paid for it. My 07 6.0 has 412k and has had none of the major issues like head gaskets or oil cooler failure. You just need to maintain your shit and drive like an adult
I freaking hate 6.0's but I agree with your comment. Maintain it and treat it well and get your money's worth.
I completely agree! Any of these trucks would last 800k or more if you just treat em right. However, you definitely got a Wednesday built 6.0 if you got that many miles and no issues. That’s sick man
Yeah I get it Buttt I like to have fun every now and then
Is 140k mileage a lot for a 2016 ram 2500 cummins. Guy is asking 30k for it. I was looking into buying new but 70k doesnt seem smart.
It’s not even broke in yet.
I second that
Should I get this 5.9 2003 90k miles for 16k? Its a one owner, looks in good shape. Seems like a fair deal. (Subbed)
Aaron Burnett yes. I’ve seen them going for more with double the mileage.
A little late to the party, but if you did buy it please check if its a 53 block, if it is. you got scammed. 53 blocks are prone to cracking.
@@stalinsbitch7428 03s didnt come with a 53 block
I had one and the truck was a pile of junk. Engine was great, but everything else was trash. If you don't mind repairing everything connected to the truck then sure, go for it.
GM has shitty IFS front ends Ram has shitty Transmissions and Ford has shitty engines. All of these issues can be resolved If you have the money but it’s up to you pick your poison, I’ve owned all three in the last 10 years and my favorite truck was my 2008 6.7 cummins but my transmission went out at 130,000 miles cost 5k back then to get another used one. I had and early duramax and I had issues with my front end. I currently own a powerstroke 6.0 2005 and I’m putting money in it to make it reliable I am putting new injectors right now.
Seems like front end issues would be a whole lot better than a transmission or engine....
Patriotic American yeah you have a point there
No comment on the aisin?
devan3873 We have some upcoming episodes that go into detail about the Aisin. Summary is the AS68 can be expensive to repair and troublesome. AS69 is solid for towing, daily driving and some extra power.
That permanent marker thing is true lol
lol it sure is...may be dumb but seen it time and time again!
My 6.0 was flawless well over 200k miles. 😀
Superduty4me lol my buddy bought a 6.0 and after 4 days it was in the shop for a month and 3k later...
My buddy’s 6.0 blew up at 90k miles haha
my 2005 Excursion 6.0 with 290k no issues ...
Or you should just title the vid stay away from powerstroke
Why when the only one they said stay away from was 6.4??? People love 7.3s and 6.0.are becoming more and.more.popular
The thing is, all brands have issues. Whether it's the 6.4 engine, 47/48RE's failing (or heat exchanger issues), EGR and DPF failures (any of the newer trucks), 6.0L oil coolers, LB7 injectors, LLY heads, 53 blocks, etc. I wouldn't shy away from a 7.3L or 6.7L Powerstroke, nor would I from a well-maintained 6.0L. Same goes for any Duramax or Cummins. They can all be a great truck, or a lemon. Our goal with this episode was to give tips to buyers so when they are looking a truck over, they know what to look for/ask.
I have 6.0 with 285.000 towing with no head studs, but it's been a lot of work and studying and learning what and what not to do with that motor, but at this point with all of the knowledge I would only buy a 6.0 because of the reliable transmission and after understanding the shortcomings of the motor I think the 6 liter is the best engine out there but with that being said after talking with multiple diesel mechanics around the country I would never buy one ever again unless I'm towing a 15 to 20000 lb trailer diesels are polluting pieces of s***
The only Powerstroke to stay away from is the 6.4
The 6.7 is awesome
I have a 6.4 and I like her. Maybe I’m lucky though.
Diesel911.com site is down
19K and you can own my 2009 6.7 cummins with a 6 speed
I live in California and they are real strict here on emissions. They are pushing for 2023 to have all diesel engines to have a 2011 engine or newer. I am a small business ower and only ran fords 99 f450 7.3 and 06 f350 6.0 which has been really reliable. I use it for work everyday and tow 14k trailer.
What would you recommend for a 2011+ and be compliant with California emissions that we dont have to spend $60k for a new truck even if its not a ford. Or is it best to buy the newer 2018-2019 truck because they don't have that many issues
Any of the 2011+ trucks are less troublesome than the 2007.5-10's. Of course they all have weaknesses (Ford 2011-14 stock turbos, LML injection pumps, Dodge transmissions). Of the current models, we don't think you can miss with Ford, GM or Ram in stock form.
@@TheDieselPodcast Have you guys had any 2018 in your shop that needed work on
@@fehokoconcrete3109 We don't work on the trucks, but I can't think of any shop guests mentioning it. If any issues pop up, they'd typically go to the dealer under warranty repair and that limits the feedback somewhat.
@@TheDieselPodcast thanks
emissions equipment has come a long way already and continues to improve, i wouldnt be scared of owning a emissions intact 11+. You may have to put a def tank/heater in it at some point as well as maybe an exhaust sensor or two but not that big of a deal. Emissions intact trucks like to be opened up and ran hard every once in a while, if your buying for work shouldnt be an issue with that.
I’m in the market for an LBZ Duramax
Wouldnt suggest an LBZ, (unless you really want the cateye body) would suggest an LMM.
@@stalinsbitch7428 they're the same with only a DPF on the LMM
@@sirvelliance9332 yeah a dpf delete would be required on the lmm, but if you want to push more power, do it with an lmm since theyve got beefier block casting, bigger pressure fuel system and forged rods make it more resistant to high hp and torque. thats why i suggested it over the lbz
@@stalinsbitch7428 I don't see the need that Anders has for a 500+ hp truck. Don't get me wrong, they're fun, but impractical for most people and applications. Personally, if I were Anders, I would get a LLY or LBZ. With the LLY, fix the turbo mouthpiece and theres a kit out there that gives you the 6th gear. Put a lift pump on whichever truck you get, and you're fine unless you beat on your truck
@@sirvelliance9332 oh yeah 100%, honestly it mostly comes down to personal preference, body, power totals, price, all that stuff is a major factor and my personal favorite is the lmm because the body style is to my liking, the power is great stock and is pushable, and theyre newer. All duramax's are super solid engines, top 5 in reliability in my books.
Need time stamps
in my opinion this applys for diesels only.
ford = great truck - Good motor or if its a 7.3 great motor too.
chevy = good truck - ok motor unless lbz then good motor
dodge = terrible truck - great motor.
Why no Nissan titan? Lol

I don’t care about how good it tows a trailer, mpg is awesome but if a truck gets 5mpg less but it more reliable, then I want the more reliable one. I don’t want to make 2000hp. I just want a regular daily truck that is reliable. If the Ford tows better uphill, if it’s not reliable then I don’t want it. Anyone out there recommend year, make and model of plain ol reliable trucks?
if you want a reliable truck stay away from ford , ram trucks are the best out there.
Just get a trundra
@@kingdropper2 good luck towing more than an empty trailer with the tundra 😂
I'm a big diesel fan, but if mpg and power aren't an issue, gas is a great option. Not popular to say on a diesel channel, but hd gas engines are reliable. Maintenance is 5x cheaper, and an engine cost as much as a turbo and fuel system for a diesel. Plus you can stick anyone in them, and they would be hard pressed to tear one up, vs a diesel can be driven, fueled, or operated wrong.
This is a very good comment! not everyone can jump into a diesel. There is a learning curve. All 3 of those things you listed, will make or break a truck....then they will be screaming ITS JUNK.@tangydiesel1886
Stay away from 03-10 Fords and you’re fine, both gas and diesel. 3 valves, junk. 6.0s, junk. 6.4s, junk. Should’nt have to fix your tools to be able to use them how they were intended.
EVIL Co. 6.7 Power Strokes have proven reliable. As far as 2017+... I’m not sold on the aluminum body’s whatsoever.
Marcus Mar unless it’s an 03 7.3
I had a 2007 ford f-150 4.6L V8 and put 245,000 miles on it. Sold it due to gas money and bought a 2007 Toyota Camry Se. I would say stay away from Dodge...
@Trae Thibodeaux Everyone has their preferences, but dodges arent bad trucks per se, sure they have issues but so do all trucks, if you can find a 12V cummins with a newer trans theyll run forever
2005-2007 6.0 bulletproofed is actually a great vehicle
Thought this was video.....

tom williams Is your truck the 2003-05 body but built in 2002?
With respect be more specific who and what is voices show more visible material

7.3 is a work horse 98 to 2003 baby !!!! They just get it done!! Like Trump 2020
this should be a radio station .. not a youtube channel no offense. Cant make it through the first 3 minutes looking at the same picture
Jerry Dumpner We’re a podcast and put these on UA-cam for those that don’t have or use iTunes, iHeartRadio, SoundCloud, etc.
@@TheDieselPodcast folks come to youtube to at least see lips moving or something moving.... youtube is a visual application. iHeartRadio, SoundCloud is something you listen too.. In my opinion its just clickbait on youtube and most cannot look a still image while someone is talking for 1 hour
I agree Ford has the body and technology on new trucks 6.7!!! And the 7.3 is just a work horse!
Chevy ok motor nice body but the suspension suck!!!
Dodge Ram great motor but the body sucks corn holes!!
Trump 2020
LaLa McQuoid I love my 7.3 260k and it’s getting better and better the more I get into it
I agree except fuck trump
Lucian Castillo fuck Lucian Castillo !!! TRUMP 2020
Milk the fucking add revenue
Ive owned cummins and power strokes and ford is by far a better truck never owed a duramax so no info there
I’m trying to convince my stepbrother not to buy a dodge diesel.
Brandon 111 the cumins is a good motor rest of truck is junk and the new ones have problems with pistons sticking on back three cylinders because of bad exhaust manifold design back three can run 200 degrees hotter then the front on the manifold its self witch makes cylinders hotter and causes the pistons to seize up
I’m done with legacy automakers, I’m buying a cyber truck for work
You must work from home
hows that going for you?😆
Boring
