I would go dodge , my second choice would be a lb7 or lly dura max that’s the best 2 options and the lb7 is the best motor the put in the Chevrolet aside from the early injector issues

How much weight you plan on pulling? No more than 10000lb. My dump trailer with my tractor in it. Might haul a load now and then that weighs a little more than my tractor. Shouldnt ever get over 10000lb much. Pulling it with a f250 5.8 right now. It pulls it ok, dont stop the best. Fuel milage sux. Im spending $200+ on gas every week.

I might have ya a truck. It’s running on seven cylinders and smokes a little bit but it will still roll around
Youre the only reason im not on my way to buy that duramax right now. I wont be able to afford to work on it if it breaks. Kinda got me gunshy

Im thinking i might be better off running this 5.8 in the ground and buying another one. I could buy 3 or 4 of them for what johndeere5036 said it would cost to fix his duramax. I might just be too cheap to get in the diesel game.

Man if you could find a good truck body..you can stick a dang 12 valve in about anything..they dont need nothin but fuel and air….my cousins daily driver is a beautiful lowish mileage 2009 f350 srw crew cab..loaded out…has a mid 90’s intercooled 12 valve cummins swapped in it that has been turned up to about 300hp…ive tried to get it from him but he want sell it..that truck will out live about everythkng on the road and looks just as good.

I only have tow people close to me who over owned diesel trucks for a period of time. They both had to come out of pocket $11-12k for new engines. Neither of them are idiots.
Diesels have me spooked. I’m of the mind modern diesels are just not built for consumers past warranty periods. Low sulfur diesel fuel, and emissions standards have really hurt all diesel engines from a power and durability standpoint.
