What Diesel Truck Would You Buy For $35k?

LBZ and LMM duramax are without a doubt the best known for speed.

Again, thats not what I said.
Are you even trying? First time on Bath Salts??
And, those 2 engines ate injectors like a fat kid eats his ice cream/

ate injectors like 6.0s ate injectors, head gaskets, and oil coolers.

Nope...nice try.
In your defense, the 7.3 injector was probably the most robust injector ever made. Those were simply to big to use in a 6.0

What was a worse motor than the 6.0 as far as reliability is concerned that was put in a Gm Dodge Ram or ford truck in the past couple of decades?

a 6.4 by far. I owned one of those also and it gave me and every one that owned one, issued. Mostly Injector pumps failing. I put 2 in mine in 1 year and sold that POS. It put down 550 HP and was a high 10 1/4 mile but it was expensive to rreplace that pump if you had to take it to a dealer as the cab had to be lifted. I could get that cab in the air in 45 min.

1 down now 1 to go as I mentioned possibly swapping a 12v into a 6.0 or 6.4 truck...Now name one worse than the 6.4?

You cant, making the 6.0 and 6.4 the top 2 pieces of crap.

maybe up to 2003ish I can agree with you they aren't so good. Done arguing though because I cant stand withholding my love for you any longer.

6.4 is 100% no way. 6.0 is 95% no way as of now.

Been looking up cummins swaps and it aint quite as simple as saaaaay doing an LS swap into a foxbody. I was expecting to find more aftermarket support and plug-and-play type options and there really isn't a lot out there.

What kind of torque did you develop, because 550 hp might get a 6500 pound truck in the low 13s and no where near 10 second quarter mile ets.
A factory L5P with 445hp and 910 lb ft of torque will run 14.5 quarter mile ets in a 6500 pound truck.

Agreed. Time slip or it didn’t happen.
