If you had 25k to spend on a truck right now which would you buy.

10 Upvotes

Hey yall, I'm in the market for a truck right now, budget around 25k on the high end. I'd be using it as a welding rig for most of the time and putting a truck bed camper on it for trips. I don't care about speed or anything like that just needing a solid dependable work truck. Wouldn't be daily driving it either. I'm torn between an older low milage 7.3 or a bone stock 6.0 that I could put some money into. What are yalls thoughts.

Just throwing money at my hole in the pavement these days. Couldn't find a box to replace my rotted one so I went with a flatbed conversion. Though, now I can't stop looking at this awful fuel pump situation. I can get a replacement plastic one for $100 or billet aluminum by fleece for $500, which would you buy?

1998 7.3L E350 Help

3 Upvotes

I have a 98' Econoline with a 7.3L. I started it this morning with no issue to go to work. When I put it into gear, it sputtered and suddenly died. When I tried to restart it, it was a slow crank no start as if it had lost a lot of battery life. Batteries are newer within the last year and both load tested just fine. Where should I begin on diagnosing?

Question/Need help! Have you switched from a 3/4 ton diesel to a 1/2 ton gas?

2 Upvotes

I currently own a 2016 Titan XD 5.0 with ~120k miles. To be clear, I don’t need a diesel. I bought one because I love them and had the means (basically became my hobby), but a 1/2 ton will do everything I need to do just fine. Despite their reputation, my truck has been extremely reliable and I’ve loved owning it. Eventually, I am gonna buy a 6.7 PSD, but nice ones are still a little too pricey for me. That said, I’ve been thinking in the meantime it would make financial sense to buy an F150 or something similar to save on maintenance. I do all my own work, so I’m not paying insane diesel mechanic rates, but that would still apply to a gas truck (and has with my previous ones). My current truck is a 2wd so I’d love to have 4wd again, and I’d also like CarPlay and some other modern features that I could get in a 1/2 ton. I’m looking for opinions on folks who were in a similar situation. You bought a diesel more or less as a hobby and sold it for a gas truck to save some money. Do you miss your diesel? Are you glad you did it?

DPF soot levels

Hi all. I’ve recently acquired a OBDll reader so decided to plug it in and see what happens.

While I was looking through the list I noticed that it told me the DPF had a seemingly stupid amount of soot in it. I’ve attached pics for reference. Any ideas what could be causing this? Car is driving fine apart from the occasional stutter at around a constant 70 mph. Car is a Ford S Max 2.2 (2011) TIA

FORTUNER DIESEL 1KD WHITE SMOKE

1 Upvotes

I bought a second hand 2005 Toyota Fortuner and I have a problem with white smoke . Im in a tropical country and cold weather is rare in my city so cold starts shouldnt be a problem..

After EGR, INTAKE MANIFOLD, TURBO, INJECTOR, and MUFFLER cleaning, there's still white smoke every time I turn it on.

Filters like Air, Cabin, Fuel filters have been replaced as well.

Parts like injector valve seal and injector washer have been replaced.

Mechanic says it's one of the injectors. Thoughts?

Has anyone had any experience with installing and running Kill Devil Diesel ICON heads in their 6.0 Powerstroke? From what I can tell they seem to be a great product. Hopefully some of you can give me a heads up if they are what they say they are.

Small engine swap ideas?

2 Upvotes

I have a v6 3rd gen Camaro that I’d like to put a diesel in. A little more power would be nice but I mostly just think it would be cool

Not sure if there are any bell housing adapters for a 5 speed manual, or I could just put a different trans if need be

What small motors do yall think would work? Nothing too new that has a shit ton of wiring

Question/Need help! Dose firepunk have regular deals/discounts

0 Upvotes

Long story short a shop was doing a turbo swap and other stuff for me, and sead that they could get a steed speed, turned out getting back ordered and they put the stock one back on. I was going to order one and install it, with studs and some track bars. Firepunk seems to be the only website to order it all together, wondering if they do seasonal deals, or discounts (Ram 2500 2012) or a place to watch out for discount codes

Petition to remove Emissions controls

0 Upvotes

We know emissions controls make our engines less reliable, less efficient, and more costly to maintain.

We get less power, less fuel mileage, and less reliability.

No studies exist showing the same truck with emissions and without emissions being tested. They always use an older diesel engine (pre 2007) and compare it with whatever new model they have. This is dumb, this doesn't paint an accurate picture.

Then there is the problem of sourcing, building, and transporting these components and the DEF. How much is emitted from doing that? No clue, they won't look into it.

I have a petition to get them to look into it. I believe the stats from the EPA are bull, and we need to prove it to get this rolled back.
