Here's here's to knowing Ron through his old videos and God bless his family. I felt like I lost a friend when he passed. Definitely yes to seatbelts, although if he was in a F350 that day instead of a Volkswagen Ron would have survived
@@redwood6737 dont be so sure. Cops here in australia have told me they have attended accidents involving large 4wd vehicle's where the outside barely looked damaged but the occupants got messed up. Less safety requirements including crumple zones on those sorts of trucks. The force goes somewhere, and if the truck stops suddenly and doesnt have crumple zones, the occupants keep moving.
@@christopherandrews4836 Unfortunately yes. He was heading from his house to his shop which was less than 1 mile away. He didn't fasten his seat belt presumably since it was such a short trip (I have done that myself from time to time if I am just taking a short trip somewhere). The other driver involved in the accident was young and had just gotten off a long night shift. The young driver dozed off at the wheel, crossed the center line and ran into Ron's vehicle. Ron's vehicle rolled over in the accident and Ron was ejected from his vehicle. Sad...SMH.
Blah blah blah. Ford never made a diesel engine, the last good truck they made had a 7.3. glad you found a niche making money off their over priced new junk. Nice wad of cash, but a few people would like to have some of it back instead of a calendar.
He never said the 7.3 was bad. In fact that's his daily driver. Do the rebuild and upgrades to a 7.3 and tell me how much you want for it after that is all done. Or show me where there a bunch of low mileage 7.3's sitting around for cheap and ready to work.
Love ya Bill, you are an awesome businessman, but you're trying too hard to sell your trucks. I don't know where you got your information on the 6.7 oil leaks, I've heard none of it and I'm on every ford diesel forum there is. I'm on my 20th 6.0 truck, I love them, I buy them for my business, because they're cheap and they have enough power to pull what we need to pull. But when it comes to my personal truck, it's not close. The 6.0 isn't in the same league as a 6.7. I'm on my 2nd 6.7, this one is an F450 and the motor, transmission, brakes, technology, comfort, ride etc... is just incredible. As far as fuel mileage, again, you're blowing smoke. My 17 F350 consistently gets better MPG untouched than my fully tuned and deleted 2007 and 2004 F350's that I drive at work and both trucks never tow and are never loaded with anything. I just like trucks. As far as the DEF, nice try. If you were talking about a Ram, you might have a point, they burn DEF at a crazy clip, but the fords might run you 20 bucks every 2000 miles. It's just not an issue. The bottom line is the 11-19 trucks are 10 times more refined, much more comfortable, much more capable and the emissions controls are not an issue. I get it, you can't delete new trucks, but here's the thing, you don't have to delete 6.7's. Untouched, they smoke the 6.0 in power, capacity and fuel mileage. The only thing a 6.0 has over a 6.7 is the purchase price. You have to fix the thing before it's dependable. All these other guys in these comments simply can't afford a 6.7 truck, so they're going to agree with you. Guys, if you can't afford a 2011-2020 truck, just say so, don't try and act like a 7.3 or 6.0 is somehow superior. You are insulting the people at Ford that did one hell of a job designing this 6.7 drivetrain and you're insulting my intelligence. just stop it.
I'll keep the 7.3 truck I have and make it aallllmmmmooossstttt as good as a 6.7 in hopes that I don't insult you too bad... you can go ahead and keep the 6.7s they're Prius sounding, emissions clogged garbage thanks
Everything you spent so much time complimenting is what's Wrong with 6.7s. Regen is stupid, DEF is stupid, DPF is stupid. That shit IS unreliable and expensive. Just use cats, they work. All of the other computerized crap is unreliable and expensive. I truthfully cannot stand the interiors and controls on new trucks. A Pickup does not need 1000lbs of torque. Why do you think they detune commercial trucks? There are many 500k mile 7.3s, 5.9s, and a few 6.0s and Duramaxs. There will never be a 6.7 PS that lasts that long. For nearly $100k, it should last literally forever.
I almost forgot about EGR cooling. Whoever thought that introducing 600 plus degrees of extra heat into the engine cooling system that's meant for 250 degrees was a flipping moron. This applies to All engines that use it. 3/4tons and up are meant for work, borderline abuse, and should do so every day for many years. My 2002 7.3 and my 2004 cummins both have over 400k on them. Both pull 15k cattle trailers almost daily with no problems. I also drive them daily. Both still Average 16mpg. No repairs to date larger than a clutch. When a 6.0 ps, 6.4 ps, 6.7 ps, 6.7 cummins, or duramax can do that i'll buy one.
@@raydornbush I've had three 7.3 trucks, loved them all, but they are dinosaurs compared to even the 6.0 trucks. If you ever had the opportunity to drive a 2011 through 2019 6.7, you would immediately take your truck to the used car lot. You can't pull the loads that a 6.7 can pull, you can't stop the loads that a 6.7 can pull and the transmission in all those 7.3 trucks is one step above a car transmission. If you can't afford a 6.7 equipped truck, just say so, don't hide behind the crap you're spewing.
Bill said th 2006 and 2007 6.0 has recalls than the 7.3's. I know the 7.3's are legendary but I also know ford had transmission problems. i personally know Dodge does. I haven't had the first problem with my 2006 ford. Not one! I only have 22 thousand miles on my truck though and everyone wants to buy it. I'm cripple so I get the best parking place. My wife isn't allowed to drive my truck so I'm the only one who ever drove it. Some people say, I have a highly sought after treasure and would I sell it. OF COURSE, everything is for sale.
@@jeffanderson7256 if youre willing to put in a trans, headgasket or something like that... yes. come to Ohio. Also, facebook prices are usually 1/2 the price of the same item listed on craigslist.
That DPF decreases your gas mileage so it might be cleaning the air on that one truck, but more oil drilling is needed for the decrease mileage. Add in the plastic bottle and cardboard litter that the DEF comes in and you’re destroying the environment in another way.
It makes one wonder... why haven’t biofuels come to fruition with all of the “Climate Change” banter. It would produce much less pollution and would cut back greatly on the need for petroleum products.... but that is probably the reason the government prevents it.
@@mikebagwell8229 You are missing the point. That extra fuel, DEF fluid, packaging material etc. Is all made by machinery that pollutes our air, it's not helping our air quality one bit!
I have worked at a school bus garage for the last 17 years in the northeast DEF sucks nothing but problems ... I think the 7.3 in international lingo is the T444E a great engine ..my 01 super duty W/350 k goes great
great video as always. However, I have seen an increase in MPG in my 6.7, whether that be the motor being broke in (80k), or possibly the archoil AR6200. pushing around 17-18 hwy.
He's bragging about 200k to 300k miles out of his rebuilt 6.0's. Which, to be honest, is great for 6.0. But if a 7.3 failed at 250k, we'd all ask "what happened"?
This guy makes his money by working on the 6.0... he bashes all others. No 6.0 is worth 35k. Try telling your bank that, they will not loan that on that old of a truck. I have had a 6.0 and my deleted 6.7 is far superior in every aspect and I have gotten to 21 mpg when I drive it normal, but this jack wagon says anyone that claims that is lying... Douche!!!
Dude I don’t know where you get the “anyone that tells you a new 6.7 gets good mpg is a liar” but my ‘17 has 132,000 miles and I average 19-20mpg day in and day out and I’m running 295/65 20s. Just give People the facts about the trucks you sell and call it a day. You don’t have to trash every truck that isn’t a 6.0 to try and sell one. That being said why would anybody want to buy a truck that needs $20,000 worth of engine work to make it reliable?
justin jones is your 6.7 stock or deleted? I’ve heard at least with these newer emissions controlled trucks that they actually get decent fuel economy unlike the early ones when the DPF first came out.
Yeah I don’t know who he talks too but my 17 350 duelly with dump box averages 15 with 120,000 on it n it’s a crew cab and my 2019 350 crew crew cab lariat sport has 11,000 on it and I’m averaging 18.4 rite now and I’m in the north east cold n snow! Just trying to sell shit! Lol he can come here n drive them anytime he wants! Lol O n my new truck with incentives was 64,000 out the door completely loaded truck! Lol
My truck is stock other than leveling springs. We have a missions testing every year to get our tag renewed in Chattanooga. Deleting is out of the question.
I was scratching my head too. I drove a then new 2015 for about a year and got decent economy. Summer highway I’d get up to 21 mpg empty at 65 mph. My avg would be around 15 mpg including city driving. My modded 6.0l would get you to 23 mph highway and avg of 17 avg. Both stock gear and tires.
I like everything on these trucks except the Mishimoto radiator. After replacing 5 of them under their warranty, I finally put a stock radiator back in my truck and haven’t had a problem since. We put 2 Mishimoto radiators in back to back that leaked as soon as the system pressurized. They must not test them before they ship. They might have a lifetime warranty but when you have to pay $50 each time to ship a new one, plus put your truck in the shop for a day and pay labor plus buy new antifreeze each time to keep from any possible contamination, it gets real expensive, real fast.
you know it my 96 has 305000 the it plastic door pannels are falling apart but im 72 how much more am i going to get. runs good iv kept it up power is about 350 with raceing tranny.
I’ll put lots of $ in my 03 n still be better off than spending $90.000 I’ve only put about $5.000 in her sense new a trans was most of it @ 190.000 still beautiful running black beauty

Pascal is doing a great job he has come a long way since when he first started with you. That green truck use to look awful and you made it look brand new. Very clean! Good job guys.
Just rebuilt a 1991 Ford F350 7.3 IDI with a turbo with my son ,he is 15 and it will be his first truck..Old slow and noisy... Beautiful piece of machinery
Problem is unless you have the cash laying around, no bank will finance a 06 for 35k. I know I dont. I have great credit, doesn't matter a bank will laugh you out the door.
I think the $30,000 includes the trucks cost plus parts and labor for engine, steering and suspension, brakes and other needed repairs. $78,000 plus tax(s) for a new King Ranch pickup truck. Hell for another $100,000 you can buy a “used” ranch style house , of course depending on the houses location.
Do you know what you are talking about? Have you priced one out on Ford's site? A king ranch 250 is at least 70k. Plus taxes and all the fees is 80-90k. I live in Canada and a king ranch is definately that much. Limited is 90k or so before taxes. Go price one out and actually use your head before trying to say these guys don't know what they are talking about.
Jeff Clark he said that’s not the list price. After insurance, plus gap insurance, taxes dealer fees and a whole list of other stuff, the list price is far from what you end up paying. Anyone who has ever bought a new truck or car knows the sticker price isn’t the cost
They both broadcast a shady feeling. They are also grossly exaggerating costs trying to justify the overpriced trucks they are failing to sell... 22 thousand dollars for a 2005 2WD work truck LMAO!
You can still delete the new trucks. It'll probably never go away. Just deleted my 15 6.7. Totally different animal. Best of all? Gave less for the truck than your 6.0's. ...
Ford, GM and Ram are getting so damn expensive no one can afford them. I would much rather go to Bill and buy one of his trucks than pay more than i did for my HOUSE and lose 20k right off the lot
That "new sunroof" can cost you 2500 to 3000 to repair. I have a friend who bought a used 2018 and the sunroof went out in just a few weeks. He had a warranty and it was covered but that is a huge expense...
@@officialyoutubecommentator4357 Depends on what is wrong with it. Not all of us can do that kind of work or have the tools/time. It's expensive for everyone but you.

I feel like he was just trying to promote his business and scaring ppl lol I have a 2017 f350 with 135k miles and never had a problem and I get 16 mpg on the highway
He kind of skipped over the insurance issue quickly...if the older truck that I paid him $33k for...that books for $3k... gets totaled...even if hit by someone else...I'm out of $30k....A very real consideration....🤔
i work in a SMALL!!!! indy shop in NE mt we also haul gas and propane.... and service what we can in house (ive learned A LOT about semis in my 2 years their) im glad im not the only one..... "burn more to make less"?? but then our semis have to drive 300 miles to get the fuel..... and then 300 miles back, plus another 70 to get to the end of the "zone of service" and they make this trip 2 to 5 times a day.... harvest season, farmers are SUCKING down the fuel do you know how much energy it takes to find, drill, pump, transport, refine, transport to bulk, transport to gas station.... and other steps i missed??? thats a LOT of energy as soon as the warranty is over.... ALL emission systems disappear im pretty sure montana's state constitution tells to EPA to fuck off (just like it does on the 2nd amendment.... it STATES its an individual right) MT has actually said "hey, if you do that, we are no longer a state because of this contract"...... and the media says "CRAZY MONTANA WANTS TO SECEDE FROM UNION!!! like... im a democrat, and climate change is fucking real but driving my old 77 chevy 1/2s 400 sbc with full time 4 wheel drive around at 8 to 12 mpg.... still better for the environment than making a WHOLE NEW damn truck plus, back in the 70s.... labor unions existed, and most of it came from the USA now its children in sira leon or china or some other "blood diamond" country... as they are the only ones with cheap ore...
I'm a Ford v10 guy, dont want to mess with diesel. After watching your video, I suddenly want a diesel. Excellent sales pitch. Curious, for the 6.0 diesel after it's been rebuilt and tuned, what kind of horsepower and torque numbers are you seeing?
If the warming alarmist, tree hugging, elitist really wanted clean air, they would stop protecting big oil and allow the market to offer bio-diesel products. If they were serious about burning cleaner and less demand for petroleum, they would stop subsidizing Big Oil.
There are still companies that will delete and tune your 2017 or newer Powerstroke. It’ll just cost you $8000. My 2016 costed $3000 to delete. Which is going to make the 2016- more sought after.
I daily a 6.0 for a work truck but man my deleted 6.7 2016 truck doesn’t miss a lick. Honestly if the epa ever disappears a deleted 6.7 is where it’s at out of the Ford line up.
New trucks are so not even worth the headaches. Too much complicated shit that just makes them so unreliable after 15 years or so. Good luck fixing that electronic POS.
Man My 1999 7.3 is still running strong it pulls 15k on a daily my skids. She’s programmed w super chips and PM on a regular. Oil. Filters. Fluids you name it. Now my 6.7 is an absolute show poney. It pulls like a hot knife in butter no doubt. But that 7.3 is my lifeline. All I do. Is maintain it. No dumb ass burnouts just from point A to B w a load. there’s no doubt that my 6.7 will go 20 years easy.
Most banks will balk at financing a 30,000+ 2006 truck. Folks usually don't have the cash to buy these trucks. That's the issue. Lastly, I'd love to know the profit margin for these 30,000+ trucks. Bills not a fool...he's first a businessman with employees to pay.
His margin is HUGE! There is a reason that he is pushing these trucks so hard, simply put, he got them for dirt. I wouldn't be surprised if their margin is damn near 50%. When buddy said that he is only making $3000 per truck I was like, yeah fucking right. There is no way.
Bill I love your videos. And I love all the hard work you've done on making 6.0 trucks good solid trucks. But here's the deal. I can't speak to anywhere else. But here in Minnesota... If I go to my credit union and say I want to get an auto loan. I'm looking at a 2005 F350. And I need $35,000+. They will be more than happy to give me that loan. Provided of course I have AT LEAST $20,000 down. In which case... I'll just get a different truck for cash. I'm really not trying to be a dick. I'm just pointing out that most people need to get a loan for a vehicle at that price and banks will give a little more than book value. But not 35k on a truck that books for 15k. I know you sell the trucks. I'm not suggesting you don't or that you won't. I just don't even want to think about the "creative" financing people find to pay for them.
Brandon Crimmins somebody gets it! I love the channel too, but at the end of they day they’re salesmen. And their trucks are a niche market. Another point they forget to mention that if you buy one of their $30,000 trucks, you better plan on keeping it a long time. Because guess what? it’s still a 15+-year old truck if you try to trade it in or sell it. No dealer is going to care that it’s been restored and “dealer-proofed.” It’s only worth NADA to 99% of people. So... buy a new truck and lose $20,000 or one of theirs and still lose $20,000. I don’t mean to bash powerstroke speciality, but these are just some of the cold hard facts.
Also, if you have to go that far out of the way and pay that kind of premium just to buy a 6.0, then you have some pretty odd priorities! Good luck paying all that interest on a loan for a 15+ year old truck once you do find a lender willing to finance such an absurdity.
Im guessing that the people that give your videos a 'Thumb Down', either dont own a diesel truck or know absolutely nothing about a diesel truck. You get 'THUMBS UP' all day from me Bill. I shipped my 04' Superduty to you back in 2015. When I came down to Buford to pick her up, I got 100% more than I paid for. You gave me a few extras that I did not know was included in the Dealer Proofing. And I definitely would not take $30,000 for my truck. My truck runs like no other, power, 21mpg all day, NO SMOKE and Superduty Dependable. I Love My Superduty. Thank you Bill.
Bill, I love your videos brother! Best investment I made when i bought one of your trucks! I flew from California to Georgia and then drove it back to Cali. 6.0L for life!
RIP bro those 6.0s are super reliable got a cousins uncles cousins sister's husband that owns one with 1 billion miles all original with oil changes every 3780 miles
Its like buying a ratchet to use as a hammer. You are going to wreck a new vehicle if you ignore have these vehicles operate. They are not designed to idle or for short trips. The main problem is that the dealerships do not explain this to the customer before purchasing the vehicle.
I have drove all of them I dont like the 17 to 20 cab it feels much smaller.. personally I like 05 to 09.. the 2011 to 2016 aren't bad.. that's just the truck. Diesel wise I've driven all of them 7.3, 6.0 i like. 6.4 are ok.. all around comfort 6.0 models I like better.. now if your not talking ford Chevy rides the best but it's like a car.. lol
I also like the trans in the 2005 models 5r110. Way tougher than dodge or Chevy.. as a pervious dodge guy I like them.. I switch to ford cause more parts available and I have no death wobble or front end parts that constantly wear like the dodge. Chevy sits to low with ifs..
I work on and build these engines. To do all the work you do with engine and replacing all the other truck parts plus some paint jobs I dont even know how you can do it for $35k what a deal
So DEF makes the exhaust come out cleaner but what about the emissions that were made while manufacturing that additional fuel. And all those emissions to make plastic DEF jugs that never get recycled. We all know they go right in the trash can at the gas station... Seems stupid and not much better for the planet.
My dad has drove a diesel vehicle since the early 80s.Diesel used to be cheaper than gas but harder to find at gas stations.I got 800,000 on my 2000 7.3 and you guys think 200,000 is ALOT for a diesel! BS I've seen Chevrolet cavaliers running around with almost 300,000 miles.Get a 7.3 they'll last longer than your willing to keep it.
The old 7.3 is a million mile motor from the factory. The 6.0 needs new heads every 250,000 miles cause of the way the 4 valve heads operate it wears out the valve guides.
All the constant nonsense I had with poor towing issues, overheating, and piss-poor mpg is why I sold my gasser for .30 cents on the dollar! My 7.3 shits all over the 460 I had in EVERY respect!
@@seanoleary1979 , Same here. Had a 93 with a 460 until I bought an 03 with the 7.3. Still have it. 38,000 original miles. Other than towing my boat, I takes the occasional run to home depot. Last truck I'll ever buy hopefully.
I don't understand the whole far superior truck angle for the newer diesels.... to me personally for example let's use a 7.3. The engine can be upgraded for more power while maintaining reliability with relative ease, the suspension can be upgraded to better handle towing and as far as the noise is concerned it's a diesel they're noisy and I like the loud clatter of a diesel... sorry if no one else does to bad. There's a few other thing to mention but I won't go any further than this for now.
Do an entire seminar on current emissions equipment (2020) along with possible outcomes with this stuff later in engine life. Is a 400,000 mile 2020 powerstroke even remotely possible?
Yes if the truck is highway driven or works hard each day. and does not idle excessively. If not it will die a early death and have emissions issues due to always being stuck in regens.
Holly fricken crap I couldn't believe he said $90k I knew it was expensive but damm. I don't care how nice the new one is I will not be giving up my old 2003 7.3 6-speed I know it's slow but it's just fine for me Edit: was just thinking about it and even though it'll have to be rebuilt some day it still saves tons of money.
When it's time to rebuild it do some mods to it to increase power/driveability if you think a 7.3 is slow.. it'll wake right up for you. Add power the correct way though because rolling coal is garbage, it's a waste, bad for the engine and environment on the same token just throwing parts at it with little know how just allows the rods to see sunshine and breath a little...
I have a 2006 Ford F350 dually, I'm going to be selling with my Lance camper. The combined units cost 88 thousand new. I still have the new sticker. I'm asking 45 thousand for the pair or best reasonable offers. Both units have titles. If you buy a lance without a title, then it's on YOU! My 981 Lance slide in camper is FULLY loaded with every possible option. I mean everything including solar panel. My Ford F 350 has 22 thousand miles on it. All documented miles. The camper has been stored in a warehouse for some time but was brought home the last few years. My truck sits in the huge garage I have. The truck was professionally modified with new 5" exhaust and chipped up to get better MPG and an air ride all done to make sure it didn't harm the 6.0. I don't even know how to change the settings on the chipped thing. It was set to haul my camper and I never changed it. Reason for selling, well it's health problems. We bought the units to see the US, my wife got breast cancer, my health turned south and we never went anywhere but my daughters house. After 4 bouts with breast cancer, I don't think we'll see the US via camper. Twice used and that's it! billforgrace@yahoo.com is my e-mail address, this spring it goes up for sale. I will not separate the pair, for you need a need a dually to haul my camper. I get aprox. 18 MPG with the settings I have. Hauls the camper great. I'm in Ga. I get 13 healing the camper. I do not drive hard like Bill. lol, The camper has a slide out, wet bath and never ever was #2 done in the thing. The fully loaded lance camper has a flush kit anyway, convection oven, generator with less than 10 hours. I do start the generator every month or so. I do drive the truck 5 miles to recycle my garage about once a month. I have an offer from the man that does my yard but he doesn't want the camper.
These are amazing trucks, and beautifully restored. The only problem is most banks won't give loans out for vehicles over 10 years old, we would all love to know is there Banks out there that are willing to loan money for these good trucks and don't discriminate on age of vehicle?
There are some for exotic cars of high value that are old up to 10yrs if you can believe it but its was a non-bank doing it. I doubt they would do it for a f250 due to the age and mileage, they don't care that its "new".
Still driving my 2000 F-250 Lariat 7.3 4X4 W/188,000 miles and it's still running great... Strait pipe exhaust, No EGR Crap on this truck :) And I'm still getting about 18 mpg!
I get 18ish hwy in my 2017 6.7, same as my 7.3. It barely uses any DEF and regens are unnoticeable. I know a handful of people with 6.7 work trucks. Railroad, foreman, etc. All have over 250k miles. A few have over 11,000 hours and over 5,000 idle hours. All these trucks still have factory emissions intact and have had no issues. I understand the 6.4 set a bad tone for DPF's but it's a very different story for the 6.7. I loved my 7.3 but it's also nice starting my truck without the exhaust running my wife and kids out of the house.
100% Yeah man, I have a few buddies with well over 150K miles on their 6.7's and no issues whatsoever. I think they got it right for the most part with the 6.7. Most people that are smart with their cash are going to purchase a truck that is maybe 3 years old to save that depreciation hit. At least that is what I do. I too keep my 7.3 for backup.
I bought 2 2017 6.7s brand new one gets 17 mpg highway and 14 city mpg it has 100,000 miles and the other gets 20 mpg highway and 15 mpg city it has 55,000 miles. Don't know why they are different. Both trucks tow 15-20,000 lbs daily spring through fall and get 10 mpg doing that at 75 mph. I can never figure out why people say they get 12 mpg not towing they must be beating the crap out of them or doing super short trips causing regen but that's their fault not the trucks, you should only have a diesel for work not just driving.
I plan on keeping my 2001 7.3 Limited Excursion forever. The price of new and used trucks these days is just crazy.

Meh..I loooove my climate control adjustable pedals n seats backup sensors and camera folding mirrors and comfy seats. Ive got both new and old and drive them long distance frequently. I'll take new any day
Still using our seat belt right ? R.I.P diesel tech Ron
Here's here's to knowing Ron through his old videos and God bless his family. I felt like I lost a friend when he passed. Definitely yes to seatbelts, although if he was in a F350 that day instead of a Volkswagen Ron would have survived
@@redwood6737 just wear the damn thing! Take it from a tried State Trooper.
Wait, diesel tech Ron passed away?
@@redwood6737 dont be so sure. Cops here in australia have told me they have attended accidents involving large 4wd vehicle's where the outside barely looked damaged but the occupants got messed up. Less safety requirements including crumple zones on those sorts of trucks. The force goes somewhere, and if the truck stops suddenly and doesnt have crumple zones, the occupants keep moving.
@@christopherandrews4836 Unfortunately yes. He was heading from his house to his shop which was less than 1 mile away. He didn't fasten his seat belt presumably since it was such a short trip (I have done that myself from time to time if I am just taking a short trip somewhere). The other driver involved in the accident was young and had just gotten off a long night shift. The young driver dozed off at the wheel, crossed the center line and ran into Ron's vehicle. Ron's vehicle rolled over in the accident and Ron was ejected from his vehicle. Sad...SMH.
Blah blah blah. Ford never made a diesel engine, the last good truck they made had a 7.3. glad you found a niche making money off their over priced new junk. Nice wad of cash, but a few people would like to have some of it back instead of a calendar.
I'll take my 7.3 over either one 789,000 miles still strong
Making an excellent case for the tried and true old 7.3 strokers like my 2001.
He never said the 7.3 was bad. In fact that's his daily driver. Do the rebuild and upgrades to a 7.3 and tell me how much you want for it after that is all done. Or show me where there a bunch of low mileage 7.3's sitting around for cheap and ready to work.
Pascal sounds like he owns the place now. Lol. Bill did you sell him some stock?
..but Bill writes the checks!
I have a hard time understanding what Pascal is saying. Whats with his voice.?
Love ya Bill, you are an awesome businessman, but you're trying too hard to sell your trucks.
I don't know where you got your information on the 6.7 oil leaks, I've heard none of it and I'm on every ford diesel forum there is. I'm on my 20th 6.0 truck, I love them, I buy them for my business, because they're cheap and they have enough power to pull what we need to pull. But when it comes to my personal truck, it's not close. The 6.0 isn't in the same league as a 6.7. I'm on my 2nd 6.7, this one is an F450 and the motor, transmission, brakes, technology, comfort, ride etc... is just incredible.
As far as fuel mileage, again, you're blowing smoke. My 17 F350 consistently gets better MPG untouched than my fully tuned and deleted 2007 and 2004 F350's that I drive at work and both trucks never tow and are never loaded with anything. I just like trucks.
As far as the DEF, nice try. If you were talking about a Ram, you might have a point, they burn DEF at a crazy clip, but the fords might run you 20 bucks every 2000 miles. It's just not an issue.
The bottom line is the 11-19 trucks are 10 times more refined, much more comfortable, much more capable and the emissions controls are not an issue. I get it, you can't delete new trucks, but here's the thing, you don't have to delete 6.7's. Untouched, they smoke the 6.0 in power, capacity and fuel mileage.
The only thing a 6.0 has over a 6.7 is the purchase price. You have to fix the thing before it's dependable. All these other guys in these comments simply can't afford a 6.7 truck, so they're going to agree with you. Guys, if you can't afford a 2011-2020 truck, just say so, don't try and act like a 7.3 or 6.0 is somehow superior. You are insulting the people at Ford that did one hell of a job designing this 6.7 drivetrain and you're insulting my intelligence. just stop it.
I'll keep the 7.3 truck I have and make it aallllmmmmooossstttt as good as a 6.7 in hopes that I don't insult you too bad... you can go ahead and keep the 6.7s they're Prius sounding, emissions clogged garbage thanks
Everything you spent so much time complimenting is what's Wrong with 6.7s.
Regen is stupid, DEF is stupid, DPF is stupid. That shit IS unreliable and expensive. Just use cats, they work.
All of the other computerized crap is unreliable and expensive. I truthfully cannot stand the interiors and controls on new trucks.
A Pickup does not need 1000lbs of torque. Why do you think they detune commercial trucks?
There are many 500k mile 7.3s, 5.9s, and a few 6.0s and Duramaxs. There will never be a 6.7 PS that lasts that long. For nearly $100k, it should last literally forever.
I almost forgot about EGR cooling. Whoever thought that introducing 600 plus degrees of extra heat into the engine cooling system that's meant for 250 degrees was a flipping moron. This applies to All engines that use it.
3/4tons and up are meant for work, borderline abuse, and should do so every day for many years.
My 2002 7.3 and my 2004 cummins both have over 400k on them. Both pull 15k cattle trailers almost daily with no problems. I also drive them daily. Both still Average 16mpg. No repairs to date larger than a clutch.
When a 6.0 ps, 6.4 ps, 6.7 ps, 6.7 cummins, or duramax can do that i'll buy one.
@@raydornbush Wait they are the same brand, same truck just newer and it's garbage? What does that say about your truck?
@@raydornbush I've had three 7.3 trucks, loved them all, but they are dinosaurs compared to even the 6.0 trucks. If you ever had the opportunity to drive a 2011 through 2019 6.7, you would immediately take your truck to the used car lot. You can't pull the loads that a 6.7 can pull, you can't stop the loads that a 6.7 can pull and the transmission in all those 7.3 trucks is one step above a car transmission.
If you can't afford a 6.7 equipped truck, just say so, don't hide behind the crap you're spewing.
Never has any truck cost me less per a mile then my old 7.3
100% agreed. And never has any truck cost me more per mile than the 6.0 I had. Thank god I kept the old 7.3 as a “backup”.
My trusty 7.3 still loafs along.... Always starts, consistent fuel economy and has paid for itself so many times over... 190K and going strong!
Bill said th 2006 and 2007 6.0 has recalls than the 7.3's. I know the 7.3's are legendary but I also know ford had transmission problems. i personally know Dodge does. I haven't had the first problem with my 2006 ford. Not one! I only have 22 thousand miles on my truck though and everyone wants to buy it. I'm cripple so I get the best parking place. My wife isn't allowed to drive my truck so I'm the only one who ever drove it. Some people say, I have a highly sought after treasure and would I sell it. OF COURSE, everything is for sale.
@@mraycgz Hey now, I never once had any problem with my 2006, 6.0, NOTHING!
I love what ya'll do
Damn I sure love my paid for 7.3 crank her up and head out anywhere and have the good feeling of knowing I'll make it back home no worries
They're buying 6.0 because theyre getting them cheap.Ive seen good looking ones on Facebook for 3,000 dollars.
AMEN BROTHER!!!! Long live the 7.3 - especially the OBS ones!
Bruce Lee were do you live that you can find “good looking” 6.0s for 3 k all day long?
a lot to be said 96 ben paid for sence 98. when it needs something it gets it.
@@jeffanderson7256 if youre willing to put in a trans, headgasket or something like that... yes. come to Ohio. Also, facebook prices are usually 1/2 the price of the same item listed on craigslist.
Just the tax and depreciation you need to eat on a new vehicle are enough to make it illogical to buy.
That DPF decreases your gas mileage so it might be cleaning the air on that one truck, but more oil drilling is needed for the decrease mileage. Add in the plastic bottle and cardboard litter that the DEF comes in and you’re destroying the environment in another way.
It makes one wonder... why haven’t biofuels come to fruition with all of the “Climate Change” banter. It would produce much less pollution and would cut back greatly on the need for petroleum products.... but that is probably the reason the government prevents it.
@@mikebagwell8229 You are missing the point. That extra fuel, DEF fluid, packaging material etc. Is all made by machinery that pollutes our air, it's not helping our air quality one bit!
@@HarrisonCountyStudio I would use biodiesel in my 7.3 powerstroke for sure... if only it were available in my area though.
Delete. No more concerns and excellent fuel mileage.
I have worked at a school bus garage for the last 17 years in the northeast DEF sucks nothing but problems ... I think the 7.3 in international lingo is the T444E a great engine ..my 01 super duty W/350 k goes great
great video as always. However, I have seen an increase in MPG in my 6.7, whether that be the motor being broke in (80k), or possibly the archoil AR6200. pushing around 17-18 hwy.
Thats what i get in mine on highway not towing
I make that mileage with my '02 F350 with a 7.3......
Is it deleted? I heard Archoil was not good for stock 6.7 emissions
He's bragging about 200k to 300k miles out of his rebuilt 6.0's. Which, to be honest, is great for 6.0. But if a 7.3 failed at 250k, we'd all ask "what happened"?
Great Vid! Great Trucks! I still love my '95 7.3 F 350 Dually.
This guy makes his money by working on the 6.0... he bashes all others. No 6.0 is worth 35k. Try telling your bank that, they will not loan that on that old of a truck. I have had a 6.0 and my deleted 6.7 is far superior in every aspect and I have gotten to 21 mpg when I drive it normal, but this jack wagon says anyone that claims that is lying... Douche!!!
I honestly don't understand how he's in business.
That's simply not true. It would take 35 to buy my 2006 F350 dually with 22 thousand miles on it. I have a standing offer for 30
Dude I don’t know where you get the “anyone that tells you a new 6.7 gets good mpg is a liar” but my ‘17 has 132,000 miles and I average 19-20mpg day in and day out and I’m running 295/65 20s. Just give People the facts about the trucks you sell and call it a day. You don’t have to trash every truck that isn’t a 6.0 to try and sell one. That being said why would anybody want to buy a truck that needs $20,000 worth of engine work to make it reliable?
justin jones is your 6.7 stock or deleted? I’ve heard at least with these newer emissions controlled trucks that they actually get decent fuel economy unlike the early ones when the DPF first came out.
Yeah I don’t know who he talks too but my 17 350 duelly with dump box averages 15 with 120,000 on it n it’s a crew cab and my 2019 350 crew crew cab lariat sport has 11,000 on it and I’m averaging 18.4 rite now and I’m in the north east cold n snow! Just trying to sell shit! Lol he can come here n drive them anytime he wants! Lol O n my new truck with incentives was 64,000 out the door completely loaded truck! Lol
My truck is stock other than leveling springs. We have a missions testing every year to get our tag renewed in Chattanooga. Deleting is out of the question.
I was scratching my head too. I drove a then new 2015 for about a year and got decent economy. Summer highway I’d get up to 21 mpg empty at 65 mph. My avg would be around 15 mpg including city driving. My modded 6.0l would get you to 23 mph highway and avg of 17 avg. Both stock gear and tires.
justin jones $20,000 to get 300,000 or $90,000 to get 300,000?
2020 super duty: good
2010 super duty: piece of shit
2000 super duty: great
I'll keep my 1999 Ford E-350 with the 7.3L, with 376k miles and still running.
Great video!
Ew so it's a van thing?
I like everything on these trucks except the Mishimoto radiator. After replacing 5 of them under their warranty, I finally put a stock radiator back in my truck and haven’t had a problem since. We put 2 Mishimoto radiators in back to back that leaked as soon as the system pressurized. They must not test them before they ship. They might have a lifetime warranty but when you have to pay $50 each time to ship a new one, plus put your truck in the shop for a day and pay labor plus buy new antifreeze each time to keep from any possible contamination, it gets real expensive, real fast.
They'll take my '02 7.3 6sp outta my cold dead hands.
👍🏼 Late 1999 F250 6speed here. Best damn truck I’ve ever owned.
97 Ford dullay Power Stroke.
Yes sir !
lol, same for my 97 7.3. Paid 16k for a near mint F250HD and with 131k miles. And the engine is solid.
Same! 2000-82,000 miles. Just broke in.
You're exactly right I will keep my 01 7.3 dinosaur
Bill, we appreciate the virtues of the 6.0, but would love to see some 6.7 video. Surely there are early 6.7’s that you’ve been working on.
This just convinces me to keep my 7.3. Too much money for a new one. Too much stuff to go wrong on the new ones.
you know it my 96 has 305000 the it plastic door pannels are falling apart but im 72 how much more am i going to get. runs good iv kept it up power is about 350 with raceing tranny.
@@howardwatts4238 my 02 excursion just flipped 320. Still have the original injectors. Interior is like new. I love it!

You missed the biggest selling point! For the cost of one truck you can buy a fleet of trucks for the same price lol
Actually he did say that.
Pascal is doing a great job he has come a long way since when he first started with you. That green truck use to look awful and you made it look brand new. Very clean! Good job guys.
Just rebuilt a 1991 Ford F350 7.3 IDI with a turbo with my son ,he is 15 and it will be his first truck..Old slow and noisy... Beautiful piece of machinery
Keep em on the road
It is still very possible to delete a 2019 superduty. I got a buddy that got his deleted no problem without using no name tuners.
of course! new trucks are computers on wheels ... if someone can hack a computer they can tune a new engine
yup you just gotta know the right people
alexander Seledkov exactly somebody will always figure out way!
So your saying you can buy a 2019 or 2020 6.7 and do a delete pipe with no tuning and truck will run just fine with no CEL?????
alexander Seledkov He is totally wrong. Tuning is still available you have to know the right people
My 2019 f350 CCLB SRW 4x4 w/3.55 just did a 950 mile trip on 45 gal. Just about the same mileage as my old e99 7.3
jnk26 over 21 mpg might need to double check figures...
700+ miles this wknd 45 gallons as well. 6.7L
Digi Gauge 16.4 mpg
Problem is unless you have the cash laying around, no bank will finance a 06 for 35k. I know I dont. I have great credit, doesn't matter a bank will laugh you out the door.
Daniel Miller Loans are available.
Business loan... makes perfect sense when the equipment you are buying can make the same money per mile, yet up front cost is 40% less.
Yup, keeping my early 99 7.3.
Yeeeha. Mee too. Early 99 7.3 standard. Keep er running.
First, they said they do 20k worth of work then they say 30k......mmmmmm get your story straight and re-add up the figures.
I think the $30,000 includes the trucks cost plus parts and labor for engine, steering and suspension, brakes and other needed repairs. $78,000 plus tax(s) for a new King Ranch pickup truck. Hell for another $100,000 you can buy a “used” ranch style house , of course depending on the houses location.
18:22 "at the end of the day, you always get whatchu pay for" *missing the upper battery tray/ECU cover* LOL
Guys, that KR ain't $90.000.00. Stop it. Anyone that pays $90K for that 2019 did something horribly wrong.
Do you know what you are talking about? Have you priced one out on Ford's site? A king ranch 250 is at least 70k. Plus taxes and all the fees is 80-90k. I live in Canada and a king ranch is definately that much. Limited is 90k or so before taxes. Go price one out and actually use your head before trying to say these guys don't know what they are talking about.
Jeff Clark he said that’s not the list price. After insurance, plus gap insurance, taxes dealer fees and a whole list of other stuff, the list price is far from what you end up paying. Anyone who has ever bought a new truck or car knows the sticker price isn’t the cost
90k after fees and taxes? I believe it
Not even a 2020 dually 450 KR gets to 90k close but not quite.
They both broadcast a shady feeling.
They are also grossly exaggerating costs trying to justify the overpriced trucks they are failing to sell...
22 thousand dollars for a 2005 2WD work truck LMAO!
My 02 7.3 was $50k in 2002 new. My house on 2 acres was $90k in 2004 in Montana. $90k today for a new diesel........nope.
I agree my 01 25,000 in 08 still running strong just turned 261,000 on the 7.3 where abouts in Montana
Tell Pascal to get himself a cowboy hat lol
You can still delete the new trucks. It'll probably never go away. Just deleted my 15 6.7. Totally different animal. Best of all? Gave less for the truck than your 6.0's. ...
Ford, GM and Ram are getting so damn expensive no one can afford them. I would much rather go to Bill and buy one of his trucks than pay more than i did for my HOUSE and lose 20k right off the lot
AMEN BROTHER!!!!!
That "new sunroof" can cost you 2500 to 3000 to repair. I have a friend who bought a used 2018 and the sunroof went out in just a few weeks. He had a warranty and it was covered but that is a huge expense...

Ford 7.3 Godzilla.
It's the future for those who tow less than 16,000.
Creig Mac I wouldn’t buy a first generation gas 7.3 let them experiment and see what works and don’t work
Creig Mac as long as it’s got more sack then the 6.2 I think your gonna be correct, much cheaper to own and operate
Bringing back the big block with modern fuel injection. Sign me the fuck up!
Exactly. Gas motors will replace a lot of the diesels unless you're hooked to a trailer daily.
No thanks i will stick with my old school real deal 7.3 ... they might be old news but the aftermarket support is awesome ...
7.3 still better then any of the new engines they made so far.
Ford didn’t make the 7.3 fords only motor is the 6.7
I hate sun roofs, just a point for water intrusion. Automatic running boards are garbage, and it hurts like hell when they run into your shins.
He kind of skipped over the insurance issue quickly...if the older truck that I paid him $33k for...that books for $3k... gets totaled...even if hit by someone else...I'm out of $30k....A very real consideration....🤔
My 6.7 gets 19MPG highway
How much for that gold 7.3 next to that 6.0?
i work in a SMALL!!!! indy shop in NE mt
we also haul gas and propane.... and service what we can in house (ive learned A LOT about semis in my 2 years their)
im glad im not the only one..... "burn more to make less"??
but then our semis have to drive 300 miles to get the fuel..... and then 300 miles back, plus another 70 to get to the end of the "zone of service"
and they make this trip 2 to 5 times a day.... harvest season, farmers are SUCKING down the fuel
do you know how much energy it takes to find, drill, pump, transport, refine, transport to bulk, transport to gas station.... and other steps i missed???
thats a LOT of energy
as soon as the warranty is over.... ALL emission systems disappear
im pretty sure montana's state constitution tells to EPA to fuck off (just like it does on the 2nd amendment.... it STATES its an individual right)
MT has actually said "hey, if you do that, we are no longer a state because of this contract"...... and the media says "CRAZY MONTANA WANTS TO SECEDE FROM UNION!!!
like... im a democrat, and climate change is fucking real
but driving my old 77 chevy 1/2s 400 sbc with full time 4 wheel drive around at 8 to 12 mpg....
still better for the environment than making a WHOLE NEW damn truck
plus, back in the 70s.... labor unions existed, and most of it came from the USA
now its children in sira leon or china or some other "blood diamond" country... as they are the only ones with cheap ore...
I'm a Ford v10 guy, dont want to mess with diesel. After watching your video, I suddenly want a diesel. Excellent sales pitch. Curious, for the 6.0 diesel after it's been rebuilt and tuned, what kind of horsepower and torque numbers are you seeing?
"We're stuck with clean air." -Powerstrokehelp.com
Quote of the year lmao
If the warming alarmist, tree hugging, elitist really wanted clean air, they would stop protecting big oil and allow the market to offer bio-diesel products. If they were serious about burning cleaner and less demand for petroleum, they would stop subsidizing Big Oil.
There are still companies that will delete and tune your 2017 or newer Powerstroke. It’ll just cost you $8000. My 2016 costed $3000 to delete. Which is going to make the 2016- more sought after.
I liked these videos a lot more before you became a salesman.

Most banks will balk at financing a 30,000+ 2006 truck. Folks usually don't have the cash to buy these trucks. That's the issue. Lastly, I'd love to know the profit margin for these 30,000+ trucks. Bills not a fool...he's first a businessman with employees to pay.
Less than Ford margin on a new truck for sure.
His margin is HUGE! There is a reason that he is pushing these trucks so hard, simply put, he got them for dirt. I wouldn't be surprised if their margin is damn near 50%. When buddy said that he is only making $3000 per truck I was like, yeah fucking right. There is no way.
I wish I owned a 6.0 just for the sound of the idle omg . You can’t even hear the 6.7 idle
😂your really trying to sell these IDIs lol!
Love the clatter of the 6.0 when its idling
Bill I love your videos. And I love all the hard work you've done on making 6.0 trucks good solid trucks. But here's the deal. I can't speak to anywhere else. But here in Minnesota... If I go to my credit union and say I want to get an auto loan. I'm looking at a 2005 F350. And I need $35,000+. They will be more than happy to give me that loan. Provided of course I have AT LEAST $20,000 down. In which case... I'll just get a different truck for cash.
I'm really not trying to be a dick. I'm just pointing out that most people need to get a loan for a vehicle at that price and banks will give a little more than book value. But not 35k on a truck that books for 15k.
I know you sell the trucks. I'm not suggesting you don't or that you won't. I just don't even want to think about the "creative" financing people find to pay for them.
Brandon Crimmins somebody gets it! I love the channel too, but at the end of they day they’re salesmen. And their trucks are a niche market.
Another point they forget to mention that if you buy one of their $30,000 trucks, you better plan on keeping it a long time. Because guess what? it’s still a 15+-year old truck if you try to trade it in or sell it. No dealer is going to care that it’s been restored and “dealer-proofed.” It’s only worth NADA to 99% of people. So... buy a new truck and lose $20,000 or one of theirs and still lose $20,000. I don’t mean to bash powerstroke speciality, but these are just some of the cold hard facts.
Also, if you have to go that far out of the way and pay that kind of premium just to buy a 6.0, then you have some pretty odd priorities! Good luck paying all that interest on a loan for a 15+ year old truck once you do find a lender willing to finance such an absurdity.
Keep them old diesels on the road! 😎
Im guessing that the people that give your videos a 'Thumb Down', either dont own a diesel truck or know absolutely nothing about a diesel truck. You get 'THUMBS UP' all day from me Bill. I shipped my 04' Superduty to you back in 2015. When I came down to Buford to pick her up, I got 100% more than I paid for. You gave me a few extras that I did not know was included in the Dealer Proofing. And I definitely would not take $30,000 for my truck. My truck runs like no other, power, 21mpg all day, NO SMOKE and Superduty Dependable. I Love My Superduty. Thank you Bill.

Man “at the end of the day” I lost my 2005 6.0 and got a 16 Cummins
RIP bro those 6.0s are super reliable got a cousins uncles cousins sister's husband that owns one with 1 billion miles all original with oil changes every 3780 miles
@@RiggyRonnie A Billion miles lol
And Wish you Good Luck on the trannie... already replaced my girl's 16' Ram W/ Cummins transmission twice now! WTH??
@Samad Allah mines got 400k still tickin... just fine
@Samad Allah UNless BILL does his magic to em
Its like buying a ratchet to use as a hammer. You are going to wreck a new vehicle if you ignore have these vehicles operate. They are not designed to idle or for short trips. The main problem is that the dealerships do not explain this to the customer before purchasing the vehicle.
I have drove all of them I dont like the 17 to 20 cab it feels much smaller.. personally I like 05 to 09.. the 2011 to 2016 aren't bad.. that's just the truck. Diesel wise I've driven all of them 7.3, 6.0 i like. 6.4 are ok.. all around comfort 6.0 models I like better.. now if your not talking ford Chevy rides the best but it's like a car.. lol
I also like the trans in the 2005 models 5r110. Way tougher than dodge or Chevy.. as a pervious dodge guy I like them.. I switch to ford cause more parts available and I have no death wobble or front end parts that constantly wear like the dodge. Chevy sits to low with ifs..
Funny how this went from comparison video to kind of of the wall bashing to sales pitch! Lol
I work on and build these engines. To do all the work you do with engine and replacing all the other truck parts plus some paint jobs I dont even know how you can do it for $35k what a deal
So DEF makes the exhaust come out cleaner but what about the emissions that were made while manufacturing that additional fuel. And all those emissions to make plastic DEF jugs that never get recycled. We all know they go right in the trash can at the gas station... Seems stupid and not much better for the planet.
My dad has drove a diesel vehicle since the early 80s.Diesel used to be cheaper than gas but harder to find at gas stations.I got 800,000 on my 2000 7.3 and you guys think 200,000 is ALOT for a diesel! BS I've seen Chevrolet cavaliers running around with almost 300,000 miles.Get a 7.3 they'll last longer than your willing to keep it.
My 2003 F250 7.3 just turned over 400,000 still runs like a clock
I'm not sure on mine odometer quit at 337k. That's been a few years ago.
This video makes me even MORE happy I took my truck to these guys. 2005 F350 King Ranch CC LB 4x4, and runs great.
The old 7.3 is a million mile motor from the factory. The 6.0 needs new heads every 250,000 miles cause of the way the 4 valve heads operate it wears out the valve guides.
My transmission in my 2007 6.0 did in fact take a shit.
All this nonsense is why I just went with a gas truck.
All the constant nonsense I had with poor towing issues, overheating, and piss-poor mpg is why I sold my gasser for .30 cents on the dollar! My 7.3 shits all over the 460 I had in EVERY respect!
Not to mention 460 exhaust gaskets. Also had crap for power and got about 6-7 mpg. 7.3 was a huge upgrade.
@@seanoleary1979 , Same here. Had a 93 with a 460 until I bought an 03 with the 7.3. Still have it. 38,000 original miles. Other than towing my boat, I takes the occasional run to home depot. Last truck I'll ever buy hopefully.
Cummins shits on shitty fords..
powerstroke help will never go out of business
I'll stick with my trusted and extremely reliable 7.3 PowerStroke.
I average 16mpg mixed driving. But will get over 20mpg on the highway doing 65mph. 2019 6.7
"you're lying" 🤪
@@LemonySnicket-EUC i get same mileage 16-17/20-22on my 6.7
Aren't those 2008 to 2013 or something tow mirrors? The new ones have the weird clipped corners.
It’d be nice if he listed out the trucks for sale on the site so us tire kickers could dream a little more
I don't understand the whole far superior truck angle for the newer diesels.... to me personally for example let's use a 7.3. The engine can be upgraded for more power while maintaining reliability with relative ease, the suspension can be upgraded to better handle towing and as far as the noise is concerned it's a diesel they're noisy and I like the loud clatter of a diesel... sorry if no one else does to bad. There's a few other thing to mention but I won't go any further than this for now.
Do an entire seminar on current emissions equipment (2020) along with possible outcomes with this stuff later in engine life. Is a 400,000 mile 2020 powerstroke even remotely possible?
Yes if the truck is highway driven or works hard each day. and does not idle excessively. If not it will die a early death and have emissions issues due to always being stuck in regens.
I love the sound of those 6.0 POWERSTROKE.
What's the paint code for those trucks? I'm talking about the Blue 2006 and the 2019 Ford F-250's.
Holly fricken crap I couldn't believe he said $90k I knew it was expensive but damm. I don't care how nice the new one is I will not be giving up my old 2003 7.3 6-speed I know it's slow but it's just fine for me
Edit: was just thinking about it and even though it'll have to be rebuilt some day it still saves tons of money.
When it's time to rebuild it do some mods to it to increase power/driveability if you think a 7.3 is slow.. it'll wake right up for you. Add power the correct way though because rolling coal is garbage, it's a waste, bad for the engine and environment on the same token just throwing parts at it with little know how just allows the rods to see sunshine and breath a little...
all the ford dealer ships around offer lifetime power train warranty’s on all the trucks
I am sooooo glad big daddy Ford come out with that nice simple 7.3 gasser.
I have a 2006 Ford F350 dually, I'm going to be selling with my Lance camper. The combined units cost 88 thousand new. I still have the new sticker. I'm asking 45 thousand for the pair or best reasonable offers. Both units have titles. If you buy a lance without a title, then it's on YOU! My 981 Lance slide in camper is FULLY loaded with every possible option. I mean everything including solar panel. My Ford F 350 has 22 thousand miles on it. All documented miles. The camper has been stored in a warehouse for some time but was brought home the last few years. My truck sits in the huge garage I have. The truck was professionally modified with new 5" exhaust and chipped up to get better MPG and an air ride all done to make sure it didn't harm the 6.0. I don't even know how to change the settings on the chipped thing. It was set to haul my camper and I never changed it. Reason for selling, well it's health problems. We bought the units to see the US, my wife got breast cancer, my health turned south and we never went anywhere but my daughters house. After 4 bouts with breast cancer, I don't think we'll see the US via camper. Twice used and that's it! billforgrace@yahoo.com is my e-mail address, this spring it goes up for sale. I will not separate the pair, for you need a need a dually to haul my camper. I get aprox. 18 MPG with the settings I have. Hauls the camper great. I'm in Ga. I get 13 healing the camper. I do not drive hard like Bill. lol, The camper has a slide out, wet bath and never ever was #2 done in the thing. The fully loaded lance camper has a flush kit anyway, convection oven, generator with less than 10 hours. I do start the generator every month or so. I do drive the truck 5 miles to recycle my garage about once a month. I have an offer from the man that does my yard but he doesn't want the camper.
Buy gas truck... problem solved
Yeah right
The DPF bs is why if I buy new, I am getting a gasser 7.3.
I bought a 2019 with the 6.2 and I love it!
hood luck
Just delete it. *Poof* it no longer exists
@@danstennis1817 ...yeah, you love it now. Get back to us in a few years when that thing's emission controls 'shit the bed!'
Van's Best Friend He said a 6.2 not a 6.7. The only emissions equipment on a 6.2 is the EVAP system and 2 pretty small cats.
These are amazing trucks, and beautifully restored. The only problem is most banks won't give loans out for vehicles over 10 years old, we would all love to know is there Banks out there that are willing to loan money for these good trucks and don't discriminate on age of vehicle?
There are some for exotic cars of high value that are old up to 10yrs if you can believe it but its was a non-bank doing it. I doubt they would do it for a f250 due to the age and mileage, they don't care that its "new".
Still driving my 2000 F-250 Lariat 7.3 4X4 W/188,000 miles and it's still running great... Strait pipe exhaust, No EGR Crap on this truck :) And I'm still getting about 18 mpg!
I get 18ish hwy in my 2017 6.7, same as my 7.3. It barely uses any DEF and regens are unnoticeable. I know a handful of people with 6.7 work trucks. Railroad, foreman, etc. All have over 250k miles. A few have over 11,000 hours and over 5,000 idle hours. All these trucks still have factory emissions intact and have had no issues. I understand the 6.4 set a bad tone for DPF's but it's a very different story for the 6.7. I loved my 7.3 but it's also nice starting my truck without the exhaust running my wife and kids out of the house.
100% Yeah man, I have a few buddies with well over 150K miles on their 6.7's and no issues whatsoever. I think they got it right for the most part with the 6.7. Most people that are smart with their cash are going to purchase a truck that is maybe 3 years old to save that depreciation hit. At least that is what I do. I too keep my 7.3 for backup.
If my Tundra were ever to die, I would like one of your trucks.
Love your TH-cam channel. We have the same truck. I have 250,000 miles on mine. Want a diesel for the payload and towing
porkdogx get in line
I bought 2 2017 6.7s brand new one gets 17 mpg highway and 14 city mpg it has 100,000 miles and the other gets 20 mpg highway and 15 mpg city it has 55,000 miles. Don't know why they are different. Both trucks tow 15-20,000 lbs daily spring through fall and get 10 mpg doing that at 75 mph. I can never figure out why people say they get 12 mpg not towing they must be beating the crap out of them or doing super short trips causing regen but that's their fault not the trucks, you should only have a diesel for work not just driving.
Depends on were you live,here in swva,plenty of hills/mountains to decrease mpgs.
