    7.3 vs 12 valve

    :rotflmao If I had the time and cash I'd do a swap. But those are two things after buying a truck I won't have...at least not right away.

    7.3 vs 12 valve

    So here it is plain and simple. What is preffered? I am looking for a new pickup and have decided between a 12 valve cummins, 1st or 2nd gen, or an obs 7.3. I know that the 12 valve would be cheaper parts wise, but then you have crappy things like the 2nd gen front ends....which cost a bit to...

    Cost of 12 valve

    No not the vp44, i looked up p1700 injection pump on Google, and the cheapest result I saw was $1,225 for an Industrial Injection. I know how you drive is a huge factor in problems. Most of the trucks I have looked get about anywhere from 10 to 15 miles to the gallon, (gasoline). I like the old...

    V10 MPG??

    An expedition? Was it an engine swap? I didn't think the expeditions came with a v10? Do you possibly mean excursion?

    Dodge ram v10's good or bad?

    Ok. My dad had a 5.9 mag and it was a great motor...just sucked on gas. I was just curious how much worse the v10 was.

    Dodge ram v10's good or bad?

    :dunno I have looked at some 2nd gen ram 2500's. I would love to have a diesel, but that is money I don't have :cry:. I have looked at some 5.9 mags and the v10's. Anyways how good are the v10's? I know gas mileage would suck, but are the parts expensive and is the motor reliable? Should I go...

    V10 MPG??

    That's what I was thinking they would get. I was wondering if they would get above 10mpg, because I know some people with dodge v10 4x4's, and that's what they get. I was wondering if the ford got a little better since the displacement is quite a bit smaller, (6.8l vs 8.0l).

    Cost of 12 valve

    I have been looking at some 2nd gen 12 valves. I was doing some research and looked up costs of parts for these. The p1700 and injectors seem to be some of the most expensive parts. Most of the work would be done myself. My question is, what are the chances of these things going out? My dad had...

    V10 MPG??

    So what is the average mpg to for a 4x4 v10 crew cab? I know they are some of the more stout gassers. I have seen a few with 325k+ miles on them. What is everyone's opinion on them? Do you like them better than a similar truck with a 5.4?

    Is a 6.5 diesel good for a young driver?

    Ok. I may look for a 6.5, or a k20 with a 6.2, or even an m1008 if I can find one. The only problem with the m1008 is it has no ac, and summers can get pretty hot.

    Is a 6.5 diesel good for a young driver?

    Ok I will do that!

    Is a 6.5 diesel good for a young driver?

    I've looked at the m1008's. Aren't they geared really high though? As far as the suburban goes I defiantly like them. They look really good lifted, but that's not the most important thing I guess.

    Is a 6.5 diesel good for a young driver?

    Thank you sir, I would love a psd or cummins, but I feel like those would be out of the question financially. I would really like one though. I have looked at the old ford idi's, but I think I've only found one 6.9 and it was beat up. I have found a lot of 7.3's but I was leaning towards the 6.5...

    Is a 6.5 diesel good for a young driver?

    Yeah I would like a diesel, preferably a cummins, but I thought that a 6.5 in a half ton would get great mileage as compared to 14 in our old f150. Parts are cheap too.

    Is a 6.5 diesel good for a young driver?

    I've been looking at the older ford idi's and 6.5's cause they get good fuel mileage and are cheap as heck to fix. I do have a need for a truck. I won't tow anything to heavy, but to big for a Tacoma. I'm was leaning on the 6.5's cause of the ability to get tunes for it. My parents will pay for...
