Remember that some whacko polution laws are in effect for the 07 diesels. I have heard that the cummings and others are so computer controlled now that they are a hellish nightmare to work on.
Pick up truck diesels are ok but I get a kick out of people boasting how whicked bad as there powerstroke cummings duramax are BFD. The old POS dump truck we had at work had a DTA466 that cranked out 275 HP and somewhere around 700 ft lb of torque . Funny thing is that torque was made at 1500 rpm and HP was made at 2200 rpm that thing made 6 times more noise and smoke that a pick up diesel putting out more HP. It was deafning with a straight stack right next to an open window . Pickup diesels remind me of 2 stroke dirt bikes,ya gotta wind em up hard to get anything out of them. Get one if you wanna be a pretend trucker but I drive an f700 diesel everyday and I don't wanna hear some rattly smokey bastard of a motor in my nice pickup truck.
You young girls prolly dont remember when HD pickup trucks had big assed gas burners, Long live the old Ford 390, 460, 429 and Chevy's 454
The older I get ,the better I was
