June 8, 201214 yr how many diesel guys (or gals) we got on this site? im going to school to become a diesel mechanic. (im pretty good already on the 7.3 ford) my dad owns the truck now but i want to buy it off of him as soon as i can. then the real fun starts. its a 99 f350 7.3L Lariat crew cab longbox 4x4 SRW, 4" lift and 35" tires. as it sits now it puts out about 320HP and 700lb-ft. with only an economy programmer, K&N air filter, and straight pipe exhaust. (it sounds awesome)it already go's:escape: and tows nicely, but my goal is to get to 400HP, just because its a nice number. and not too far away. haha :p
June 23, 201214 yr Author nobody else likes trucks on here? big rigs? KW, Pete? Freightliner, International???any oilburner?got 2 old John Deere diesels...... 2-53 Detroit actually.
June 23, 201214 yr It's definitely not a truck but I get my dads Audi a6 TDI (turbo diesel injection) pretty much whenever I want. And even though it's only a two liter it's unbelievably quick off the line and fast as well. The only bad thing about it is that he won't let me fit Dixie horns to it That isn't his car, but it's the same make, model and year.
June 24, 201214 yr Author heck yea,,, like i always say, "gas is great, but diesel kicks gas" the bang per buck is far superior... the little diesel cars are very quick and acheive good mileage.
