What are pros and cons of owing a diesel pickup truck?
So I might get a 2002 ford f-250 7.3 powerstroke diesel, I just want to know the pros and cons of owing a diesel pickup truck and to keep it maintained. Besides the price or the fuel.
Before you buy a powerstroke you MUST watch the videos below.
Buy a Dodge with a Cummins diesel. Better MPG and torque.
A diesel engine develops more torque, works more efficient and the fuel consumtion is lower, the bigger torque is good to have in a truck. The lower fuel consumption spares money and is better to the environment.
disadvantages could be that when buying the vehicle itself, then the diesel could be a bit more expensive but the more someone drives, the more money will be spared in comparison with a fuel vehicle, because the diesel consumes less as written before. Maybe that 2002 ford truck is for a good price.
a diesel engine is heavier, it could be that after a higher mileage (like 82k miles) the wheel bearings and steering in a vehicle with a diesel engine will be worn out sooner than with a fuel engine.
- Pros and cons of upgrading alternator? I have a 99 ford crown Vic and it's about time to change my alternator. My last question about 2 weeks ago explains everything. But a stock alt for my car is 135 amps. I'm thinking of getting a 220 amp high output alternator to also support my stereo systems. There no other alternator just 135amp and 220amp. I'm just wondering will that produce too much power or no?
- Need help weighing the pros and cons of what kind of camper van to buy? So I plan on moving down to Nashville and living in a van in the very near future. I'm on the fence between 2. The first option is a 1988 Ford e350 diesel dually ambulance that has been fully converted. Running water, inverter, heat, ac. Pretty much everything in an rv besides a toilet. My second option is getting a cargo van and converting it or just getting one of those conversion Van's. I'm just not sure what my best bet is.
