Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Why/How does the Creedmoor out run the 260 & 6.5x55?

The 7.3 Powerstroke was one of their best diesel engines, so good they had to "improve" it. And they had a few bloopers along the way, I think the new one is OK.

Except the new diesels have all those sensors that are a pain. A good bud in the cattle business had a new Dodge diesel. He said those dash lights were always going off. One day the dash board lit up like a Christmas tree and that thing left him in the field; it shut down. He sold it and got a gasser Ford, 4 dr with aluminum bed for Gooseneck trailers. He said it gives around 13 mpg empty, 7-8 pulling. But it's not left him stranded. I see long time diesel owners going back to gas.

Those older diesels bring a premium and for a reason. That one in pristine shape is worth a bunch, as you well know.

Keep it up and drive it. I've seen them going strong with 400K miles. Yours is very low mileage.

Thanks for posting.
