[QUOTE="smitty2919, post: 16506866, member: 113577"] Yep. I'm skeptical of On3 stuff, but the point is it won't be expensive to make like someone previously mentioned. It's a turbo/WG/injectors/intercooler and some piping lol. A friend of mine owns a speed shop and we can custom fab anything we need to "for free". Our current 03 2500 6.0 has been GREAT to us. It's the little things like cab corners rusting, extremely brittle interior plastics becoming more and more annoying and that I want a 4x4 4-door. I don't see the money spent fixing cab corners will be worth it given how much the truck is "worth". Exactly. A turbo 6.0 can be done smartly/cost effective and efficient. I do see the point of a modded 6.0 will have inherent weak points than a stock diesel due to added heat/pressure etc. I've done some more "youtubing" (I know I know, but I do it to get varying opinions from people of all types if they bring up points I did not think of) and someone mentioned 4k-10k lbs keep to gas. Over 10k, go diesel. Granted towing frequency is a factor too. We may tow once a month during the spring/summer/fall months here in northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area. The truck will also sit 80% of the time in our driveway until we need it for Home Depot run, bring the dogs with us somewhere, or towing. It also becomes my daily during the winter. I'm not sure if it's still true to "not let a diesel sit for too long" is still a thing? [/QUOTE]
