11chevz71 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 For some odd reason i have always wanted a 95-98 tahoe two door with a 6.5 and 5 speed and have it all done up. I think it would be a big sleeper who would think of a tahoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a big sleeper who would think of a tahoe. I'm sure you could shoehorn a Duramax in there! Crazy light and tons of power. I've seen Powerstroke Bronco's and they are siiiick.

duramaxsky Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) those diesels go through tranny's like crazy cus there making so much tourque once they mod them up , its ridiculous. The Fords since 04 and the Duramax Allison hold up if you don't abuse them. Dodge trannys are trash. Edited June 13, 2010 by Adam everyone has favorites, but please don't bash! Thanks.

reaper8253 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 My 04 6.0.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm also a fan of the diesel! In order: 1984 F-250 XLT, 6.9L, 2002 F-250 XLT 7.3L, 2003 Excursion Limited 7.3L, 2005 F-350 6.0 Harley Davidson, 2008 F-350 6.4 Lariat, and this week, we picked up a 1999 F-350 7.3L Box Truck. Gave the '84 to a great employee years ago. Sold the F-250 last month with 167K miles, perfect! Sold the 6.0L HD truck, as it always had problems. The 6.4L and our 40' show trailer are now in Canada, doing the shows north of the border. DD is the Excursion, with a Hypermax H2e turbo, DP-Tuner, intake, exhaust, trans module, and a few other little tweaks. Can't wait to trick out the '99, and I'm convinced the 7.3L Powerstroke is the most bulletproof diesel ever sold into a pickup or SUV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natch02 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I think we have a Ford guy here. Yes I love my 7.3l. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdutytd Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 My 7.3 was a great truck, but I'm a sucker for all the new technologies/ride/brakes. The brakes are my biggest concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kseegers Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Here is my 2002 F350 7.3L. It currently has 153k on it. I just rebuilt the trans due to trans line went on it. I have a DP tuner, S&B filter, 6.0L intercooler, and I have added 05-07 HD headlights. The trans was rebuilt with a 1500 stall converter from Dirty D0g Performance. This is the only picture I have. It was from a couple years ago after a detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayc_989 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Nice trucks people. I really liked that blue Ford that (might) make 550hp. Not to pick on the poster but that number sounds kinda iffy to me. Glad to see so many Ford owners here, nice lookin trucks to all though. Now to go finally detail mine......

I wasn't there when it was dynoe'd but it did blow the headgaskets shortly after, needed head studs I guess. It was a 6.0. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonso4g Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Im a huge diesel enthusiast, my next vehicle will be a diesel. Maybe 6.4 Ford f-250 Harley. I love the 6.0 liter and everything about it but I don't want to spend the money to get it bulletproofed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hold old thread! Here's my old truck, early 99 7.3. Afe intake, exhaust, DP Tuner, 4" lift, Moto Metal 951s, MT ATZs. Sold it with 219K on the clock, it could have passed for 19K, it was in INCREDIBLE condition. I really miss that truck, but I don't miss paying $5.10/gallon at the time I sold it.

LDM Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I guess this is an old thread, but now that it's back, I might as well contribute. Diesel vehicles have been a part of my family for as long as I can remember, and in fact, buying my G8 was almost like straying from the flock. While I was growing up, my parents had a 1984 Suburban with the 6.2L diesel. In 1994 they upgraded to the 1991 model, which would later be passed down to me when I got my license. Here's a picture of my 1991 Suburban that I still have today as a winter beater. It came from the factory with a naturally aspirated 6.2L engine cranking out a whopping 130hp. In 2004, just around when I was graduating high school, we had to do this: A worn fuel injector nozzle had caused a spray pattern that burned a hole right through one of the pistons. While I had the engine out rebuilding it, I bought a Banks Sidewinder turbo kit that gave it a lot more power. Before dropping the engine back in, I mocked everything up on the stand just to see what it all looked like together. The engine still runs great to this day, but unfortunately rust has been consuming the rest of the truck. That's the problem with both New England winters and the Cape Cod sea breeze. Here's a pic of the engine taken last year. It had been under a tree, hence the all leaves and pine needles on the cowl. Like I said, at this point it's mainly a winter beater so it's all go and no show. My mom drives a '99 Suburban with the 6.5L Turbo Diesel, which is the last year they made diesel Suburbans. Here it is while I was giving it a bath one day. My dad has a 2000 K3500, also with the 6.5L Turbo Diesel. When my younger brother got his license, he got a '94 Suburban with the 6.5L (notice a trend with diesels and Suburbans in my family...) While in college out in Ohio he liked to play with it and get it dirty from time to time. Almost a year ago now he bought a 2001 Silverado with the 6.6L Duramax and then sold his Burb.

eric@thompsonracing.us Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Lot of diesel fans here! My brother's '09 Cummins: Now on 40"s. Straight pipe (out the side of the bed), programmer, intake and shift kit. My '06 Dmax: Back when it was on 37"s: MPI Twin Kit: More Lift: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASN8N Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm convinced the 7.3L Powerstroke is the most bulletproof diesel ever sold into a pickup or SUV. I agree, my girlfriend has a few of them in her corporate fleet and they can't kill them. They have a 99 F-250 7.3L with 750k miles and it is still going strong on the original motor (seems like it needs a transmission rebuild about every 250-300k miles though). The 6.0's didn't last that long and the 6.4s seem to be a bit better than the 6.0, but not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
