Diesel Pickup Thread

I don't have time to entertain you. And I sure as fuck don't have time to listen to you make claims, then want me to explain it for you.

 

Feel free to start an intelligent debate and I'll reply when I can. But you've already said more than enough to make me believe an intelligent conversation is impossible.

 

If I were you I'd stop now anyhow. I spend about 60 or 70 hours a week repairing heavy equipment and large diesel engines. And it's been my life since I was born. So good luck. You should probably stick to giving advice on how to not test transmissions on 30 year old cars.

 

Have a great day. :)

Then you should know better. but you obviously dont because you are likely someone that is bought into the v8 diesel fanboy club.

 

Unless you can tell me what is so great about v8 diesels compared to inline diesels and why they are basically only in pickup trucks, you fucking lose and my point still stands.

 

If you actually work on shit like you say, stop and think about how much inlines are used and maybe use your brain a little and try to figure out why they are used in damn near everything.

 

But yet v8 diesels are just in pickups...

Let's get 2 things straight fuck face. I'm not part of any fan boy clubs. Not even sure what that is. You'll have to enlighten me about boy clubs.

 

Your point can't stand because you haven't made one. And any point you make is just your OPINION, not a fact.

 

Apparently you don't get out much because V8's and V style engines are used in all kinds of shit.

 

They're used in pickups because they stretch the torque curve out way better than an inline 6. They can perform better under different loads at different speeds across a wider RPM range. The inline 6's still work good, they're just better suited for work and constant heavy loads.

 

Inline 6's make torque across about 250 RPM range if you want them to live. That's why they go in semi trucks and some heavy equipment. There's nothing wrong with them, they're just better at 1 load, at a constant RPM.

 

But here's where it gets fun. No train has used an inline 6 for decades, the overwhelming majority of ships are V engines, along with gensets and pump stations. The only country in the world that still uses an I6 in most big trucks is the US. Europe and Australia have gone to mostly V8's.

 

Locomotive engine, V12

Ship engine, damn that fucker sure looks like a V style engine.

Genset engine, holy shit!!! Another V engine. 1236540f783d9c222b0a98bbf83c3227.jpg

 

Better go tell all these companies they're using the wrong engine dude!

Ok, drove a new Chev for about 700 miles this last weekend and that pushed me over the top.. Fuck this pile of mine, its time for a new rig! So here is the question.................... 2015 or 2016, what to buy?

 

Needs to be-

 

long bed

1 ton (or more)

diesel

about as loaded as they come

RELIABLE (I understand they are all junk)

 

Here is where Im at right now

 

Chev- Rides great, runs well, TERRIBLE mileage, Backup camera sucks a fat kids dick, safety chain connections are a facking joke, the goofy receiver insert is dumb as fuck. 

 

Ford- Rides decent, runs well, mileage sucks, a little less spaceship like that the chev, seems to tow a bit better (less wander), I like the tail gate deal, a little cheaper, 6.7 seems to be proven.

 

Dodge- I haven't spent as much time in the newer dodges. Dodge is the lowest on the list or choices, but Im willing to listen to what you have to say from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, not "my buddy" bullshit.

So I guess it's your turn to give a more scientific explanation than "V8's are shitty"

 

And I'd love to know which V8 diesels you've owned.

I'd go Ford or Dodge. Tyler's is the work truck version and it's nice as can be. I've driven several of my customers Fords and they're nice too. Ford and Dodge are a toss up imo.

 

GM stuff just feels a little too light duty for me. That's just my opinion though.

2016 or 2017 because newer is better and bitches love a warranty.

 

Fuck a Chevy.

 

If I'm buying a nice whip, Ford is pretty sweet. Sean's interior is nice and the newer ones look sweet too.

 

Dodge also has a killer new style interior. My dad just bought a 2016 Dodge Ram 2500. It's pretty slick.

 

I'd say it's a toss up between the two.

You already know my vote: Stick with Ford

 

I'd say 2016 Ford if you're gonna go brand new. The last of the current body style.

 

You already know Ford has maintained it's standard of quality of fit and finish for years now.

 

Ford has proven consistently it has the most durable auto tranny of the two. And without any doubt the more durable front end.

 

The 6.7 Ford diesel has been out long enough now that they've worked out all of the infancy bugs.

 

Ram is improving on their quality for body and interior, but they are still playing catchup to the leader.

 

Why switch away from a product that has proven itself to you already?
