      Put the legendary 7.3 stock up against a stock 6.0 and 6.4. Then put the same trucks up against the similar Chevy/gmc and dodge. And of course, put all against the modern version of all. You could fill out tons of vids doing this. And probably a 1/3 of us at any given time want at least one of those comparisons at any given.
      Another idea would be to include known weakness/flaws in each and how hard and maybe ballpark it would cost to make each last just as long as the rest….not all out power but from a daily reliable rig to crisscross the country on any given day. Example, that 2k/3k truck could have 5k to 10k put in it and last just as long as the 100k truck and tow/stop almost as good. Again, not from a rolling coal drag race but from the “do the grunt work” point of view.

      Used to own a ‘96 IDI non turbo, bought for 900$ all she needed were some new fuel lines since she was sitting a while. I could piss, shit, throw McDonald’s grease and radioactive horse semen in that ol girl’s tank and she’d run better than when I filled her up on normal diesel. Duel tanks were amazing too. Sold the truck for 6,000$. Would pay 7,000$ just to have that truck back. Her nickname was “Loyal”.

      What major mechanical maintenance have you had to do recently? I just discovered my reman steering gearbox (installed by previous owner or his mechanic) was missing brass seat inserts where the hoses connect. All this power steering whine and I couldn't pinpoint the cause, leak kept getting worse and worse. O rings were the only thing sealing. And of course my reman autozone A/C conveniently blew after almost exactly 1 year, thanks to the texas heat. Also had a hole in the intercooler so I replaced and decided it was a good time to vent the crankcase into the atmosphere. Lifetime warranty swapped my moog drag link that connects to the pitman arm. Is it me or do the replacement auto parts suck @$$ nowadays? 2000 4x4 SRW with lift and 316k on the odometer, Freedom off road adjustable track bar

But if you were to spend, say 30k cash on a good used diesel (LBZ/LLY duramax, 3rd Gen Cummins, early 6.7 Powerstroke in my case), you don’t have a payment that’s 1500+ a month and you can get cheaper insurance. Finding parts on these trucks isn’t exactly difficult. They’re much easier to work on also… This GMC will have a payment around 2k a month if you’re not financing the fuckin thing for 10 years. That’s just to drive it. Full coverage insurance on a 100k vehicle isn’t gonna be cheap. And these new trucks are VERY expensive to fix. So at the end of the day, you would 100% be saving tens of thousands of dollars by purchasing an older truck.

    Another thing to consider is the cost of basic repairs once the new truck is off warranty. My diesel mechanic discouraged me from upgrading my pristine 97 Ford 7.3L to a newer truck based on the idea of repair costs long term. The older trucks are so simple with fewer things to go wrong and if a $5 vacuum line goes bad it can all be accessed simply by opening the hood. As my mechanic explained, that $5 vacuum line on a newer truck could cost in excess of $2500-3000 as the entire cab has to be removed to access some locations on the newer trucks. From my perspective, the only reason one pays for the new truck is the prestige factor and the ergonomics and comfort of a new truck. New trucks are quiet, smooth, easy to drive, with tons of cubbie spaces for storage and are outfitted with tons of technology. I ended up keeping the old truck and simply did some sound deadening, added a premium sound system with double DIN head unit to provide an update in technology coupled with a back-up camera and few power mods and I am good to go. Still not as smooth and not as quiet but very happy with the 97. Get tons of compliments everywhere I go.

      You couldn't give me a new 6.7 Powerstroke...have had to work on SO many, while the old 7.3 had its' problems but they're fixable and for sure will run more miles with less problems than the new versions. 6.0's have lots of issues too...but they're better than the 6.4's and it's like Ford kept changing and making new problems rather than fixing the existing ones.
      Anything with DEF sucks SO bad....and I've been stranded by Ford 6.7 when a single thermo-couple failed. Far, far too many things in the system that can and will shut you down if and when they fail. Especially for a work truck they're too sensitive and complicated....go for the old trucks and fix them up.

Saw one that looked like the truck in this video today that had a manual transmission, had the bed replaced with a dumper and hauled a landscaping trailer. Cheap to buy, cheap to repair, and they sound pretty mean too. The proof is in the pudding.

    A 100k truck generates the same income a $3000 truck does for the most part. Obviously you can pull/carry a lot more then the $3000 truck so you can be limited in your tasks, but if you are just towing a 35-50 excavator, a mowing trailer, an enclosed trailer or a dump trailer you really wont need the extra power in the 100k truck. And the obvious is you have a warranty behind you for repairs, so if you can afford the time and money to repair problems that come up in an older truck then thats your best bet. I have 2 6.0 diesel trucks and a 4.6 F250 for landscaping and my high mileage 6.0 typically loses 7-14 days per year in repairs/maintenance. Its expected having over 400k kms.

    An old man gave me advice one time when I was starting out. Below that is mine. Hope it helps someone.
    “You can have brand new $100k rig and brand new $40k worth of tools with monthly payments north of $10k, or have used stuff but never take out a loan.”
    My best advice to anyone starting out at least for construction.
    The people you want to impress aren’t looking at your truck and how new it is. Buying a brand new truck, rims, extras etc tells everyone “my money goes on my pride and in the truck.” The guys you really want to impress look at 2 things
    1: Are his tools kept? Are they clean? Does he throw them around or take care of them?
    2: Is his truck clean? Is there trash falling out of it when he rolls up or does he have a nice organizer to keep paperwork, maybe a trash bag too?
    Now there is something to say going into the upper 6/7 figure market of things sure. There isn’t a whole lot of something though. Do good work, do right by your customers, be professional in ALL circumstances off work and on. Trust me, it’ll take a second to build a client base but you won’t have any issue finding work whatsoever. No one cares about your sound system, rims, how fast it is. They care about the work and if you’re good at it.
    Me personally, I bootstrapped. All tools were paid off, every truck but the last one I had was paid off, brand new tools, old trailer, older trucks. Not one loan. Took so much stress off of “I need 10k this month to stay afloat!”. Eat your pride, get only what you need, work up. For 2 years I worked out of a single cab 93’ 6.5 diesel. My welding leads were in 5 gallon buckets, my welder was a 02’ bobcat, and I had a grinder, framers square, speed square, 6 total clamps, 1 drill (corded), 1 tape, a punch set, and 2 extension cords that I grabbed out of the trash. All used. By year 3 I built it up to a couple employees, $40k+ in tools, 90% of which were new.
    This is not a brag, this is me trying to save someone from losing everything if you aren’t careful. You do not need loans, but used. There is nothing wrong with a truck like the ford in this vid as is. You’d be surprised how many people are supportive and will help you out.🤙🏽

      ​@xaphan8581 I've got less than $10k into a 6.0 and it will dog walk that GMC, and it looks pretty damn nice, as a business owner you might look better with an old truck that looks really nice because it means you take pride and car anyone can go buy a new truck. Maybe they dus it because they trashed the old one in 2 years. But I know a guy who pulls up on a jobsite in a nice older truck takes pride in their shit.

    It's interesting how the 6.0 was 1.1 second slower in the 1/4mi. But 9.2 seconds slower in the 60mph. I'm willing to bet the vgt actuator arm, unison ring, and vanes are worn making it slow to spool because it majorly came to life on the top end which is normal for a old vgt or reman turbo where they don't replace that stuff. Also did you disable trailer brakes on the gmc? If not since they didn't work on the 6.0 that could make a big change there.

    We love our 2002 F350 crew cab 4X4 SRW long bed. She was an XLT, originally but the interior is slated for an upgrade, she's black and mostly original appearing other than a level up kit, ranch hand, and some aftermarket wheels in the 16.5 flavor. That said, I can and do work on her. Parts are relatively cheap, and I can easily buy a new engine and trans for her. She is of course modified. Not to the point of being unreliable though, 1400EGT is real bad LOL. At about 400HP these days, Turbo and intake upgrade, EGR deleted, turbo back big pipe, cold air induction, swamps stage II double shot injectors, 7 position Hydra chip. She is plenty fast for a 7.3 and does well on fuel, dependent on the current tune. Yeah, we're running cameras front and rear, new paint and theft proofed to the max. My main concern is how bad they are to steal the earlier Fords. I mean I can jack one in about 30 seconds with no security measures. Mine was stolen a while back before I did all the modifications: alarm with kill, all mechanical door locks removed, outside and inside, electric only keyless entry with alarm remote, Lo-jack, and a club as a visual to go along with the alarm LED just to help deter. I did some serious rewiring to it under the dash as well, so hotwiring it would really be a rough day. The hood is also chained and locked shut. That said, if you have an early Ford, especially a nice one secure it up. And your guy is right about his 6.0 I get a lot of compliments on it, often people ask me if I would be willing to sell it. NOPE

(in the AZ heat, and have NEVER had it leave me stranded) One of our crew leaders has a 2022 Duramax 3500 dually, that he has not been able to use for 2 weeks in a row since new without a major breakdown. My truck has 330,000 miles on it, and the worst issue has been replacing brake pads twice. I change oil every 3K miles, and I don;t beat the tar out of it. I forgot, had to change batteries last year. Yes, he'd skunk me in a drag race, but his truck was $138,000... mine $4000. His $700/mo payments are not worth being a little quicker to 60mph (that is when it is driveable). I'll take the power snort all day long, and make a paycheck- while he depends on me to haul his shit around.
