Opinions on Diesel

Besides the ambo I have a '98 dodge 1 ton 12' flatbed with the last month they made the 12 valve cummins. Awesome engine, no computer, they have a million mile club & now a 2 million mile club which the engines have never been taken apart & still going strong. The added cost of the cummins when new was $5000, when I bought it about 5 years ago the used blue book price adder for the cummings was $5000, exactly what it was new & worth more than the rest of the truck. A set of injectors for your 7.3 PowerStroke costs $3000. A set for my 7.3 & my Cummins cost under $300 so I know where the Stroke comes from in yours. I agree NEVER buy a 6.0 ford diesel. My last gas pickup was totalled because a mouse peed on the computer but I had storage insurance for $50/year which paid for the truck. This may help https://autowise.com/ford-diesel-engine-history/ I have the last full year of the IDI 1993 with the 250 amp alt & surp belt & no turbo with 88,000 miles. The Cummins has 115,000. No computer on either just as I like it.
