MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted July 17, 2013 Ya on the 6:0 I have spent like 4000 total in repair since 2004 and have never broke down and this egr deal is to fix for sure. Way I figure is I paid 34,000 cash in 2004 so 38,000 total but still way ahead in the long run since I will drive for another 7 years plus. No way in hhhh I would pay 60,000 for a new truck.

Speedy, the guy in the Audi A8 couldn't pass me coming up out of the Salt River Canyon even though I had a 22' travel trailer I can't believe u have 2 LBZs now! So jealous. I knew you would love them. When you are ready to mod it let me know. When done right those LBZs will run and preform way more efficient.  BTW this Sat. Night the AZ Duramax Club is meeting at ET. Great bunch of guys and a great way to learn more about your trucks. You and Huntjunkie should come out. I will be going at 7:00pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ill buy a uses dodge next if mine dies I've got a 03 6.0, in spite of all the bad press I've had good service to 150K. Suspect I've developed some injector issues and will be spending some coin soon. I'm curious, who is doing your work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted July 18, 2013 I don't know of any places that rebuild Dodge or Chevy transmissions but these two are know for their outstanding work on the Ford transmissions. http://www.brianstruckshop.com/ http://jwtt.com/ Â My Y2K F250 Diesel is basically stock with the original transmission right @ 255K miles with very few part replaced over the years. It has enough power for me, not that I wouldn't like more but I need reliability and longevity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
