Guys im getting real close to a buy. Im still having a hard time finding the right d-max and are finding some pwerstrokes
I dont have the moeny to pay over 20,000. So heers where im at.
D-max would be a first genration which is 01-04.
Only problem with these that i can find are injectors. There so bad Gm raplces them 01-03 but not 04. There also a time restraint and millage on there. SO im alittle worried.
Powerstroke would be a 7.3 turbo. It would be a 99 threw 03. They hav glow plug problems form what i read and the fuel system gumms up???
Im a GM guy bye heart and will always own a GM but i need a very depenble truck for the amount of money i can spend i know its doable just real confused and little scared on gettin a deisel that i dont know alot about. thanks for any imput guys.
Also when buying is there anythign i should look for on the truck sighns of wear and tear on the motor

Just run a vin check on the LB7s most of them probably never have injector problems it just something to watch out for. Some 03 furds have 6.0s I guess, but know about there GPs, but you should be running a fuel additive so fuel shouldn't be a problem.

The 7.3 is a good motor but the DMAX is better. You wont be disappointed with it plus you get the allison. I have had both and the DMAX wins hands down.

The powerstroke will probably run fine until you hit around the 140,000 mile mark. Then everything will start going out on it. Every powerstroke I have ever seen did that. The turbo, transmission, fuel pump, etc. When my brothers powerstroke hit 130,000 miles, he had to spend about $2500 on it in about a month. But I think the D-max is for sure the way to go. I think if you get the LB7 motor, you won't have any problems.

Just what slick said, my powerstroke took a dump on me when it hit 140,000 so I sold it. POS
