They did the same thing with tractors and other off road equipment. Lots of money wasted when they trade them in and they bust holes in the blocks of tractors so they can’t be used again

Doesn't sound very "eco" friendly.

Big waste of good old iron that could be useful to someone else. I hope they’re at least being parted out and not scrapped completely

What crap bing pushed by the "ECO" excuse is truly ecological?

It is mostly about marketing and selling new products and getting the old fully functioning products scrapped.

I am for eco-friendliness, I recycle, I try to save energy - but too much of the eco-friendly stuff being pushed is anything but eco-friendly once every aspect is included into that ECO-equation.

I’d sure rather follow a new diesel with a DPF than a stinky ass old diesel blowing black smoke everywhere.

I like the smell of old school diesels myself. It doesn’t smell like it’s melting down like this Ram in regen

I hate the *dipsticks that tune their trucks to dump fuel for no other reason to be "cool". I am impressed by late model diesels as how clean their exhaust pipes are now. Super clean, but egrs can kiss my azz. Nothing like putting dirt into the engine intentionally.

Must have misunderstood your response. You meant the oil is very dirty at change time?

Agreed, eliminated mine after some trouble at 70k miles. 120k on it now and has been fantastic

Mines pretty clean now at 5-6k and I run it to 10k. It used to be nasty within 3000 miles.

Sent an oil sample in for test a few years back and results were good. May do another next oil change. Motor is an 08 6.7 Cummins

1995 F-150 5.0L V8 5 Speed Manual. Was a big project a few years ago.

 

[JoeDirt]

I'm definitely a fan of the older F-150's. They just scream bulletproof design.

It was a rusty mess when I got it but it's pretty solid now. It's an old truck but I really love it.

If you mean don't lift it and turn it into truck rice, don't worry. The truck is staying the way it is.

Thanks for the welcome.

My poor mans rig

 

[redline4]

I recently scored this 2012 2500hd.
Needs a transmission, along with a grocery list of other stuff.


158k miles, the truck spent it's life pulling fertilizer spreaders.
I will pick away at it here and there and when my oldest turns 16 in a year and a half, she will have a pretty decent truck to drive by then.
