My 01 F250 only has 198,600 miles. I don't figure I'll ever have to shop for another diesel, unless this one gets totaled in a crash. Does what I ask of it and only thing I've had to do under the hood is a water pump and GPR. Although I did also have to put a tranny in it some time ago. Apparently the early 01's had a manual diode, whatever that is, that caused the tranny to loose 2nd gear. Exactly what happened to mine.
Are the new diesels much quieter? Yep. But mine is paid for...and doesn't need DEF.
