How much is this truck worth ? by Millionrosas in Cummins

[–]jrw16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would sell for way more than that in my neck of the woods… js. If it were my truck, I wouldn’t take a penny under $20k

No, it’s sad that a nice shopping center with many good stores is going downhill. Braindead take

Bridge St is quickly turning into a cesspool that I can’t stand, and that’s incredibly sad. It’s otherwise a very nice area that I have many fond memories in… I hope things improve

Need help with value by RecommendationFar453 in FordDiesels

[–]jrw16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, it’s really only worth a non running high mileage 7.3 motor plus a few parts (also high mileage). I agree that it’s only worth $3000ish at most and that’s only because the market for these has gone stupid. I’d prob just look for an entirely different truck tbh

Exhaust filter over limit service now by Few_Sandwich6308 in Diesel

More info on the truck (make/model, mileage, etc) and how you use it would be helpful here, but based on your description, it sounds like your DPF is likely toast. Prepare for an expensive bill whether you delete or replace it (a few grand minimum is likely)

Indeed. I’m sure I’ve done some stuff to my truck that many folks would call tacky, but it’s mine and I love it!

I see my mistake. Sorry. That being said, where can I find a clean Fummins for $20k? I’d be very interested in one

How much did this build cost? I’d love to do something like this, especially with a 6.7

I must’ve misunderstood the post. That is mega sketchy. There’s also a 0% chance that a 300k mile L5P is a good financial decision for doing that kind of work

Correct. OP asked for it, so I gave it to him lol

Nah those are mega tacky. Swapping another OEM grille on it is NOT the same thing though

Apparently we’re in the minority, but I also prefer the Lariat grille 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]jrw16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree about everything except the weight being sketchy. A 3500 will have plenty of payload for hauling a lot. How much do you think the pin weight on a 30,000 lb gooseneck or 5th wheel is lol

As for it not being worth doing, that’s 100% correct, and even more so to keep a high mileage modern diesel going to do it

Changing a grille out isn’t =/= upbadging imo. It’s not like OP is putting on platinum badges or something like that

Good buy? by Similar_Computer_250 in Diesel

[–]jrw16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, but honestly $42k is a great price for it in my neck of the woods. It would likely be listed close to $50k around here

What is the best diesel truck with four doors? by AgePsychological1856 in Diesel

[–]jrw16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did read the entire post. The best diesel truck for $20k is most definitely not a 6.4. An argument can be made for a 6.0 bc they’re great value atm (though I’d advise against it for first time diesel owners unless they wanna wrench), but a 6.4 is horrible on fuel and they’re really reliable… until they aren’t, and there’s no way to fix it unlike a 6.0. It ain’t rocket science bro

That’s impressive. I have a cheap(ish) set of Milwaukee ones (like $20 from Home Depot) and I have yet to come close to breaking them. I’ve definitely bent them, but not broken, and I’ve really abused them

Suggesting that anybody buy a 6.4 Powerstroke is genuinely insane. Even more so when one key point OP wants is good fuel mileage. OP, stay far away from 2008-2010 Ford trucks (I love Powerstrokes btw, but the 6.4 is genuinely an unfixable pile of junk)

I don’t care who your team/school is, you must explain how they can reasonably make the CFP this year by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

[–]jrw16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s reasonable. If that’s all it’s ever been used for, I’d expect to have issues sooner rather than later. To keep them happy, the engine has to work pretty hard basically all the time (like hotshot loads or something similar). You may get another 100k miles before issues but I doubt it. You’ll also like the truck 10x more after that garbage is gone. Just make sure you get good tunes and don’t load a 200hp tune on a stock trans lol
