Don’t care what you drive, you’re all just City license plate havers and all of you are suspect.

You’re right…. I do care what you drive.

If you aren’t driving American then GTFO

Over $100?
Making that your daily driver would have been a wash in the difference in monthly fuel costs
& you still could have kept the Diesel for farmin’.
Don’t sell the Diesel if you need it for the farm unless your trying to get ahead of a repair. If a hefty repair bill is on the horizon, I don’t understand the dilemma.

She’s tight with money. It was more of having 3 car payments under our name that she didn’t love. It’s useful but I don’t technically need it. My dad also has a Cummins that we use for towing. The dilemma is reliability vs need.

I'm 54...kids outta the house...drive a 2015 Chevy 2500 gas engine

Looked at some of those today. Love the old body style, hate the new. Wouldn’t spend that much on the new body style for a good deal

Do you have a plug for your Diesel? On my Duramax I just plugged it in below 30 degrees and never had any issues. F150's are ok I guess. If you are still going to tow once in a while I would look into the chevy/gmc with a 6.2 gas motor. Powerful enough to tow, okay on gas and you don't have to deal with all the diesel issues.

I do. Also put in anti gel anytime I fill up. It’s the what if scenarios that have me contemplating. I looked up some Chevys today, also Ford 2500 gassers. I would like to still have the power in case I do need it for hauling hay. We did it once in the spare F150 last year and it worked the hell out of our 5.4L

right there with ya...I kind of like the F250 FX4 blah blah blah...with all the shit they put on it but not sure I want to spend 98376297545 dollars for one

Those that continue to buy huge trucks and pay for diesel and don’t tow a thing at this point need a psych eval IMO. Impossibly stupid but you gotta let everyone know how small your dick is lol

Ironically enough if you parked my truck by itself, the body size and style makes it look like a 1500. It’s nowhere near the size my F250 was. Have never understood how that is

Yeah i hate all the tech now days. I’m being very picky with this. May not even happen honestly

cuz Ford said FUCK YOU small trucks...my 2500 looks small next to some stock F150s

Clearly you need a lift kit and tires

I started back at the beginning. Haven’t watched the whole thing in awhile.

I may stop once Michael leaves though

Seasons 2-5 are just so much better than everything else, especially after MGS leaves.

It's done both. It's pretty standard diesel winter time stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. It's just annoying as hell. Plug in, yes. Have used Diesel #1, but only at Hyvee by me. Which had some water in it last winter when it gelled on me. The Fantasys right next to me is very well known to have water in their fuel in the winter so I avoid that when it gets cold enough. Have not used the truck stop #1 because it's quite a bit out of my way. There's a new Love's across the highway from where I work but that is loaded with semis at the pump and I don't want to be a nuisance to them in the winter time, and their fuel is the most expensive.

Damn, that is a problem if they have shit quality control like that. I’ve never had an issue with #1 ever. I’m not a diesel guru by any means, but only advice I can give when you’re trying to start it on a cold morning is to turn the key to the on position (don’t crank the motor yet). I count to 20, turn the key back off, repeat that process 3 or 4 times before you actually crank it over. My 7.3 really dislikes cold mornings. Gotta let the glow plugs do their thing before it will run.

Yeah my dad gets much better options for diesel out in the country obviously but it’s prettt iffy here in town. Is what it is. I let the glow plugs run even when it’s warm out. Nebraska cold just sucks

I've been telling the wife that for years but no dice. I'll put that money into my motorcycle

Well piss. Maybe it is time for a gas burner after all.
