I don't even think his truck will start. And no, his headlights don't work, I'm thinking they got swept off the road by the tow truck operator.

Do you think his radio still works? What about the power adapter in your truck?

Well I can't say about anything in the truck, but judging purely by the mangled mess of the front end, I doubt it.

And yes, my cigarette lighter power adapter still works?

^To go along with VDub, do you have rental car included during the time you don't have your Truck?

1993 did have a idi turbo diesel but it wasn't a powers troke...

i use to work at a diesel profromance shop i've worked on and driven alot of diesel trucks

if you do want a diesel and if u want a ford go for a 94-97 7.3 powerstroke.. or a 99-03 7.3 powerstroke. the 6Liters are not that great but i have seen some with up to 300k so its a guessing game...

Chevy/gmc: early d-max from 00-02 had some problems but 03 -07 are amazing

dodges i don't like the 6.7s but there are alright but 87-91 had non intercooled 12vs and 92-93 had intercooled 12vs and then 94-98.5 were 12vs there all pretty good motors

The 6.7's have a life expectancy (from the manufacturer, mind you) of 450,000 miles. That's amazing. I know that 5.9's have run that long and much much longer in many cases, but for the FACTORY to claim this is very impressive. I won't be surprised when i see million mile 6.7's 10 years from now.

Yes, once the liability is determined, which it was today, they'll pay for the rental. Gotta call them tomorrow if they don't call me.

It was a 90's model, not 1990, in the 1990-1999 range, I already deleted the link for it since they're fixing mine, I don't remember the exact year, but it was advertised as a 7.3L PowerStroke. Doesn't mean it is, just what they're saying it is.

Doesn't matter anymore anyway
