As said, some of us are relatively new to the diesel market. I almost bought a loaded Ford 6.4. No pressure salesman really wanted me to take it. Didn't feel right. Waited a little and ended up with a 07 5.9 Ram Megacab. A few years of experience and reading under my belt, I'm certainly glad I passed on that 6.4.

It's funny pulling a gooseneck with a backhoe on it at 70 through the mountains passing dodges with a boat. The tuner I got shows the hp for all models dodge, Chevy and ford and only the compound turbo 6.4L can get this kind of power on just a tune. Also, if I stay at 65 mph or less I get just over 20 mpgs, even at 80 I get 15 mpg.

The emissions laws destroyed diesel operating cost. I work at a refinery its so comical. All the laws did was push the emissions from the tail pipe to the furnace stack. We have to use million dollar catalyst that needs change out every 2 years we have to take the HGO up to 700 degrees using massive furnaces and then massive compressors to boost the whole unit up to 1750 psig. When you add up all the emissions used to heat then treat (remove Sulphur) then pressurize then distill again there's virtually no net gain. Where before diesel use to be a straight run product. bring in crude distill it then straight to the product tank for delivery. All the green warrior high fived themselves thinking they won what joke. Add insult to injury now diesels require Urea think of all the plastic bottles of that stuff.

Amen, the criticism in this video is just silly. I live in Nevada and regularly have to start mine below 15 degrees, it's not an issue (I prefer to plug it in, but it will start if I don't). Yes you do have to replace the glow plugs every few years, but that's $100 at the parts store and 1-2 hours of work, tell me one thing other than the battery that you can replace on new truck for less than that yourself. I can fix just about every single thing on my 92 IDI myself (most things are logical and easy to access) and in an era where every minor problem is a $1,500 bill at the mechanic, having an old IDI seems like the only way to go. Lastly, it is slow, but I can still get 18-20 mpg regularly (not when it's 15 degrees)

I appreciate the level of honesty and practicality that the wizard brings to the table. Thank you sir.

I usually go out cut down 15 cords of wood a year using that old toad of a truck.. Weak engine, but it gets 22 mpg or better. And yes, I have a glow plug manual switch that I installed.

Whats under the plastic? Ya think ?

The Cummins is a tractor engine. The B Series. Used in old Case Maxxum tractors for many years in four cylinder and six cylinder 5.9 litre form. Also used in many excavators by Case and Korean brands. Built simple and cheap with very few individual parts. Parent metal cylinders though, which are long lasting but expensive to overhaul compared to wet or dry liner engines. Should do 12000 hours between overhauls easily. More if driven moderately with some mechanical sympathy and serviced every 400 hours/12,000 miles or so with premium diesel oil.

He didnt even mention that the manifolds crack and need to be replaced. While what he said true, to say to avoid the trucks all together is terrible advice, because the issue is very fixable. All you have to do is replace the manifolds and main catalytic converters for a set of long tube headers, thus eliminating the problem all together.

The 03-07 Cummins trucks where good if they had the manual transmission, the G56. The automatic transmission’s are known to go out if you look at them funny, and the maintenance on the autos is much more than you expect from an automatic transmission. They call for a band adjustment I believe every 30,000 miles. The engines are very good, solid, reliable engines, and the trucks don’t ride terribly. The 7.3PSD was still in truck the first half of 2003, so that technically makes you cut off as well. Again, the automatic transmissions can be problematic, not as bad as the dodges, but there’s still problems there. Again, like the dodges, the ZF6 6 speed manual is a good transmission in those trucks.

You always make lot of sense, I respect you sir.

Yes, Because we have the BEST diesel engines. Why settle for good when you can have better. Say it with me, "Cummins"

Only thing I added to truck at purchase time, was 2 extra leaf springs on each side on the rear mend. A lot of towing heavy livestock, back in the day.

I owned an early (03) 6.0 for about 5 years. Damn thing nearly bankrupted me and almost broke my marriage. People would keep telling me, "As soon as you do this, it will be solid . . ." I would, and then something else would break. Only good thing i can see that came out of it was that i got a lot of experience working on a diesel. No exaggeration, at least once a month, i was under the hood with that thing. I finally got sick of it. The last time i got everything working top notch, I sold it. On the way to sell it, the AC started acting up and would only blow out of the defog vents. I knocked off a couple hundred and we called it a day. I replaced it with a 2004 5.9 cummins 6-speed manual. The difference is totally night and day. I just get in it and drive. It will take anything i throw at it with no complaints. Yes, the creature comforts and suspension were nicer in the Ford. However, if you're stuck on the side of the road, what good does any of that do you? When you add up how much you will be spending indefinitely on maintenance for one of these undependable diesels, you could totally upgrade the interior and suspension of your truck 3 x's over. I have never looked back and can certify that, when it comes to pre-emmission diesels, the 5.9 cummins is a WAY better experience. 👍

My friend had a 6.0, the injectors turbo and egr cooler went in the same week. He does all the work himself, and it was cheaper to buy a doner truck and we ended up putting in a 24 valve cummins.

@joeshmoe8952

You're friend probably never did the preventative maintenance and changed a bunch of parts to bullet proof diesel parts. Those trucks with the right parts changed will last easily over half a million miles & more. The bad oem ficm probably caused the injectors to go bad. The oem egr that originally came from with the truck sucked and the one that came out after was better. The original oil cooler was also garbage. Yes it's pricey for everything but you'll get a truck that last forever. Dealership parts are crucial with these trucks unless your buying bullet proof diesel stuff. Everything on these trucks must be from the dealer unless it's bullet proof diesel. Oil changes you can get away with but you must use the oem oil filter.

Two 6.0’s in our family... an 03 and 04. Both are over 200k miles, stock, tow 13k pounds (each 😉) and still run perfectly. Delete EGR cooler, update oil cooler, coolant filter, blue spring for fuel pressure, regular fuel filter changes and oil changes, Archoil for fuel and oil, and you’ve got a truck that will perform reliably. You cannot baby a 6.0. IT NEEDS TO WORK or else the turbo gets “sticky” and the intake gets filled with soot. Also, the biggest problem with 6.0’s is the unqualified mechanics who try to work on them. By the way, head gaskets on both of our trucks are original and are not blown. Several friends of mine have these trucks too and have no problems after the above mentioned corrections. Do the math... pay $10k for one, invest $5k in it to ensure reliability. Or, go out and spend $70k on a new one. If you don’t like doing preventative maintenance on a Diesel engine, do not buy a 6.0 Powerstroke. SUBSCRIBED. Love your delivery man it’s the best.

Love the channel, you pointed out a lot of the big issues. Bottom line is its going to cost more money to keep a diesel going. The biggest pitfall for people it not servicing the vehicle in a timely fashion, or adding a 200 hp tune to a stock vehicle.

When the glow plug controller died on my 84 F250 I bought good 12 volt glow plugs and put a push button on the dash. The original setup used 6 volt plugs that liked to burn and swell, they also HAMMERED the batteries hard during the glow plug cycle with huge current draw. You have to run the 12v plugs longer, but the total current draw is easier for the batteries to give in cold weather, and the extra time soaks the heat in the cylinder for a better cold start. I ended up with a 2003 6.0L (mostly because of the service box), It has taken $11k-$12k to keep the SOB running over the last 5 years even though I have done A LOT of the repairs in house. I did use a shop on two occasions (all 8 injector job, and oil cooler which also did egr and HPOP for extra $1k since digging in to get to any one of those three is about $2k-$3k in stripping labor.) All in $10k to the shop and $1k-$2K in parts and time at home. A side note to the head bolts on 6.0L, I am pretty sure that Navi did the engineering right. I would be willing to bet that anyone who had trouble with head gaskets on these turned up the HP well past stock....... The bolts are probably fine at stock..... but it is too easy to turn up the HP and then whoopsie!!! I wont call them a great idea, but the fault lies with aftermarket tuning on this one. OK stock, tune at your own risk...

I just sold a 2004 f250, 320 k. Very little work done on it! I know it’s rare, but, it was also a fast and strong truck! Loved it!

I have an 01 dodge 2500, 24v Cummings 356K miles and still going. Took care of the "killer dowel pin" potential issue and have added after market fuel pump and she runs strong. I really appreciate your channel!

95 12v with the 7100 p pump here. I love that I have no computers to worry about. Some of the best sounding trucks too imo
