Some people like to run synthetic(as I do) and does not include if you put an additive(rev x) in your oil. If you put a $4 filter on your truck that isn't being smart especially if it is a ford.


Not a Ford, Dodge. 225K on it and had always used the same oil and filters. Synthetic oils are good, but over kill for a diesel. Biggest problem for a engine is that it takes a long time to burn off moisture inside a engine from sitting overnight. If you ever pulled a valve cover off a engine that sat over night, you will see a shite load of condensation on the under side of the cover.

You have a good one, but what you buy today isnt what you have. They need synthetic low ash oil, religious changes of multi stage very expensive fuel filtration, periodic complete regens, and a certain operating profile to have a long life. You cant put shite oil and fuel in them and just let them run like shite forever.

If you buy a modern diesel and use it like someone who would be better off with a Tahoe, you're going to have a bad experience.

Boy, if your raggedy arse could even come close to the life I live all over this country, you'd still be a pinkydick'd, wannabe douchebag.

There's 2 kinds of people in this world: people like you who give the illusion that you're a somebody, but the real somebodies know what you're about: you're a basic, broke arse, clucking hen; you're like a woman scorned, but with a tapeworm between your legs. You give a legitimate f*ck what others perceive about you and you thrive- and die- on the feedback from that perception. You fear the worst- and I hate to affirm it for you once again- but you fear the truth: You're a sad little man, and you ain't hitting on chit, and you're talked chit about for being so insecure and feminine. Your kids look like hammered hell, and are biologically screwed in every sense of the phrase. Your wife's blood type is "I Cant't Believe It's Not Butter," but she was 'okay' back when I titty fricked her 15 years ago and before the tainted fruit of your loins destroyed what little sex appeal she had left. You live in places like Minneapolis, and yOuR CuLtUrEd because of it. You're a fly pasted to my headlight. You're a piss ant.

And you got people like me: We give no indication that we are what little fellas like you want to be, and we don't care to. Those who know us, respect us and we respect them- unless they're like you. We have fine arse wives desired by all and who take care of themselves. Son, men like me don't marry trash, and we are wise: once we do marry, that's it, she has been chosen. We may or may not have children, but when we do, like in the case of my son who's on the way, little beta cucks like you will have children to work for him and make him his money. Your daughters will become another notch on his belt, if he deems them worthy, and your sons will know him only as their wife's bull and employer. We make money with, among other things, standard shift one ton dodges, but we smash your wives in whatever vehicle we pay cash money for. Nobody like me, person type #2, drives them daily because we ARE badasses.

So shut your bitchass up when grown men are talking about grown men things, son.

People dumping 2018 like crazy because of transmission issues

Good timing on this topic. I'm driving a 1st-Gen Tundra now that I dearly love; Been dead nuts reliable since day one. But it's time for a truck with a bigger backseat as my girls grow out of the car seat stage. The newer Tundra's are arse ugly IMO and been thinking about domestic. Then if I go domestic, might as well go diesel. Not hauling anything more than landscaping material but there's talk about a camper in our future - that's another topic.

Fully admit it - I've never owned a diesel.

My single biggest concern is that - especially in winter - you can't just crank it and go. True or blown out of proportion?

Bought a 2008 Duramax LTZ club cab with Allison transmission last year. It’s got 300,000 Miles on it and drives and runs like a champ. It rode OK when I got it, but hitting a pothole felt like the entire front end was about to drop out of it. I changed the upper and lower control arms, bump stops, and pads and discs within a couple of months. Right at $600 with me installing. Rides really good now (for a 3/4 ton lol).

I haul a ski boat around and a tractor as well. I wanted something that could handle hauling without issue. Looking at getting a 5th wheel camper in he future so this should handle that easily.

Don’t overlook used 3/4 tons. There are some deals out there. Mine doesn’t use DEF and doesn’t have the injector issues so it’s a pretty reliable model (LMM).

I couldn’t justify any aspect of buying a new Duramax though.

GMC and Chevy 3/4 tons are the least desired trucks on a pipeline. We go through hundreds of 3/4 ton trucks a year of all makes. Ford is number 1 followed by dodge and if you’re new, you get the Chevy piece of shits that tear up and have plastic hanging off them within a month. Chevy and gmc are going backwards.
