    Ford admits the 6.0 sucks..................

    Plus they get to spend all of that extra time visiting with their friends in the service department while they wait for the warranty repairs to be completed.

    Ford admits the 6.0 sucks..................

    Why on earth would they keep a Duramax option around then? Would people really want "adequate" when they could have something great? "Put me down for mediocre - it's good enough for me!" :rotflmao

    automatic tdi fuel mileage?

    I had an automatic 2000 Golf TDI - my mileage varied greatly - depending on what speeds I maintained. Going easy on the pedal and averaging 60 mph on a long trip, I could pull 48 mpg. Same trip, same distance I could get down around 38 mpg by doing 80 mph. It's all good. The big difference...

    life expectacy of 97 12v 2500

    I'd wait until the engine needs it - eventually the compression will drop and you'll lose power. These engines have gone much, much further than what yours is at now. There are many incidents of these engines hitting 1,000,000 miles - and I've seen documented cases of > 800,000 working miles...

    Diesel Rip Offs

    Shiver is here in Tallahassee, FL as well - same owner apparently. They do know their stuff and I've found them to be very helpful.

    jeep YJ 6.2 conversion

    Isn't the J-code the military model - more of a heavy duty engine with an extra 25 hp and ~ 40 lb-ft of TQ? That could be enough of a difference in a heavy Blazer to go from incredibly slow to reasonable. If we are comparing it to a well worn C-model, we aren't really talking anywhere near the...
