I wanna truck, But I am Young and still making minimum wage. I've been saving up for a car/truck. I've been on this site for quite some time and I've been trying to soak up as much information as possible. Back when I was in school I went to Vocational school for Diesel tech. I had made about that a few years ago.
Now here's the problem I know every car and truck has its pros and cons. whether it be gas or diesel. I've been looking at the Cummins and 7.3L Powerstrokes I would have looked at the 6.0's but the issues I read about them kinda scares me, from what I read the Head gaskets and EGR coolers then to go bad all the time, and sometimes the ICP is an issue as well.
I Just don't know If I should go the Diesel route or not. I just spoke to my friend who recently owned a 7.3L Powerstroke and told me he payed 110 to fill it up, that's alot of money he's also going to school for Diesel Tech at some vocational so he's been giving me background as well.
Is there any Issues with the Cummins I should look into? As of now I don't really have anything to tow, so thats out of the question for now, but I do plan to buy a boat or jet ski eventually or even a car trailer. I've been playing to buy a toy for a while, so I wanna be able to tow it back and forth from the track just in case it blows up.
So if any of you have suggestions feel free to chime in. My friend had suggested either an F-150/Expedition would be ideal for me, But I don't know I love the f-150's and expeditions but I just want something I know will be ok when it comes to towing etc.
