...don't think I'll be going back. Cummins, P-stroke.... didn't like either. "That 6 in a row makes it go" BS should be "makes it slow"...

Picked up this Sierra today. LBZ, super clean, looks like an old fart owned it. Bed has no linex/rhino liner in it and doesn't need it.... it's an 8 yr old truck that looks like it hauled sheep wool and teddy bears for a living.(MikeL, you ever get deliveries from Vegas???). 89k miles and looks as good inside and underneath as the day it rolled off the showroom floor.

Anyways, no more Fords or Dodges for me....Stickin with what works.

Cool deal and nice truck. I know exactly what you are saying. The duramax Allison combo on a built trans and EFI is probably to greatest truck ever built. around 500hp they last pretty good too. Are you gonna leave it stock or give it the basic mods and drive the tires off it?:thumb:

Lift, wheels, tires... probably a pipe and small tune. I pull too much shit around to try cranking the piss out of them anymore.

Hopefully be picking up a new toy shortly. I've got an 850hp hi-comp 427ci just begging for a home anyway...rather beat on that than the truck. :D

I still wanna try a 6.7 SD. Such a good looking truck inside & out and seems the engines/trans are doing much better than previous year Powerstrokes.

I don't mind the Cummins one bit but I just don't have any desire to have a Dodge again.

I'll most likely never have anything but a GM diesel though - just don't think I can break the tie to em.

Biggest game changer for me is the trans. Nothing shifts, drives or pulls like an Alli.... So nice to have one back under my feet.

My take on the 6.7 Ford 350 goes something like this. The truck and chassis are real nice. The 6.7 is a good running engine up to a point and that point seems to be around 435hp. After that it's time to get the real mods out. The factory turbo is an 58 mm which has good spool and low end power but much too small. Average kit cost to go up to a 366 is around $4k. Next the fuel system with the cp4 is out of rail so either cp3 conversion or dual cp4. Pricey also. Then my biggest worry is the rods look like they may have been designed to run in a husk a Varna chainsaw! I will most likely be leaving this f350 of my wife's alone around 425-435hp and get me another dmax. I still have the lmm but would like another one in the stock charger stock fuel built trans lift pump line up. Those ones seemed to me to prove very reliable and still much fun to drive! That Lbz you got looks like it could fit just right around here!
