You contradict yourself so often it's hard to discern the point you're trying to make.

Guy asked for feedback on the L5P and you came in guns blazing about a Ford 6.2 gas engine that hasn't been produced in 4 years.

There were about 10 posts prior to mine discussing gas vs diesel, including yours which I responded to with a simple contradictory example.

This was very far derailed, partially by your doing, before I got involved. Majorly by your doing after I got involved.

Its clear you just have a hard on for contradicting me which is fine. I assumed you were trolling but now I am not sure?

Not trolling, every vehicle thread on this site has you spewing incorrect information as fact.

If I derailed the thread it was to call out your bullshite. Even provided evidence of you being constantly wrong from your post history, but that doesn't stop you from jumping in here and telling people what they need and don't need.

Of real world examples contradicting your (incorrect) opinion?

Thats fine though. You win, good job

Fair warning - im going to have the audacity of doing it again when this topic comes up again.

The brakes on that truck were not meant to stop a load that heavy given the need to perform an emergency brake even with electric brakes on the trailer. Exhaust brakes have nothing to do with this.

My 2016 Duramax is approaching 300K. Deleted right after it hit 100K. I get 22-24 on the highway and 12 when I’m towing. The only thing I’ve done is regular maintenance that any vehicle with 300K miles would expect to have performed. Oil changes are the same as a half ton. The only thing that would be higher in regular maintenance would be regular maintenance on fasslift fuel system I installed when it was deleted. Gives the injectors more life and helps with fuel contaminants that might kaput the CP4

The brakes are different on an HD truck depending if it has a diesel engine or gas?

The newest ones seem to be better than those were. I wouldnt run one with a CP4 without a lift pump. The denso stuff seems to be holding up really well. I wish ford and dodge would get away from the CP4

How are you calculating that? Thats not easy to achieve. Most diesels that size hold 2-3 gallons of oil vs 5qts for most gassers, with bigger oil filters and expensive fuel filters to boot.

The only difference I can think would be hydraulic master cylinders on the diesels instead of vacuum but that wouldnt really matter. I think theyre all using vac pumps and normal master cylinders in the pickups anyway.

Exhaust brakes are damn nice in the mountains.
