Im finally even, I cant sell now :lol:

Downshift, shoot me an email when you get a chance….got a quick question…

Thats the issue…Id like a diesel to pull a 24’ -25’boat without issues. I cant stand that constant downshifting when driving down that POS Hwy 90. Its 90% usage will be a daily driver to work that is 40mi round trip.

I know its frowned upon because its not technically “working” the diesel, but it also has better mpg and longevity that the compared 5.3L gasser. The 6.2L just had a stop sale so Im alittle worried about those engines now.

I am up for any truck honestly, but it seems most of them have their own issues and there is no simple answer. Coming from an F250, I just prefer the towing capabilities when I need it.

Whats the OB’s thoughts on these? Have read that they pull a decent amount and get good mpg, but nothing really negative that I can find. Anyone have any personal experience with these engines?

That was my fastest time :lol: I dont have many obstacles to cut around

I was out of water bottles last weekend so I cut up one of those thick pool noodles in about 12” pieces and used them the same way. Worked just as good.

What did you get on trade out of curiousity?

Considering selling it and I love that truck, but I just have a feeling it will continue to get worse the longer I delay. For the amount of time I actually use the truck, I just dont see the value in keeping it and letting it decline further in value.

I have a 2016 F250 that started leaking oil yesterday, maybe a teaspoon full. I believe I have tracked it down to the upper oil pan gasket. I was quoted today to repair all gaskets and seals would be in the $8k range.

So heres my dilemma, I drive a camry as a daily driver and only use my truck to tow my boat (22’ Bay boat) and pull my SXS. So the truck is mainly parked until needed. Maybe used 4k miles per year. So do I sell the truck and take a hit due to the leak or keep running her and just refill oil when needed.

I have a Sequoia that will pull both when needed, but its the wife’s daily. Considering selling for what I can get and saving for another truck next year.

Thoughts?

I just came for the comments, especially after the last 2 beached whale pics
