You are right Blu Mtn, my first was an 85 Ford , not a75. However I have had about 8-9 Duramax Company trucks since then. My current '08 has had the emissions deleted and is chipped. THE ONlY ADVANTAGE TO DOING THAT , is the fact that I won't have to futz around with emissions setting plugged up.

We have gone to gas trucks , I don't drive he diesel too much any more, it is good truck , but diesels are too expensive to buy initially and maintain. When the advantage of diesel prices went away decades ago ....so did the advantage.

I liked diesels and have millions of miles in them , but no more.
