then a diesel is bad. gas for off road, diesel for towing

i have gas... need diesel

 

[Gen1Pat]

Oh! Least I forget, towing to hatfield. lol.

 

[Gen1Pat]

i have gas... need diesel

Take a beano. lol

 

[lbjamm]

Yeah I tow a lot. Have horses in the trailer going all over the east coast more then 2 dozens times a year, plus all the local towing I do. Hauling hay, moving equiptment. I've had 9 tons on the truck before, and down the road I go, I don't even think twice about it.

Yeah. Couple months ago towed 10 big hay bales. Averaged 1850 lbs per bale. Hauled them home without even a grunt.

 

[Gen1Pat]

Yah the 6.2's are tuff if you take care of them, but their super duper gutless.. lol
My brother has a 87' that has over 500,000kms on it. It burns a bit of oil, but it runs great.

Yeah man. O-60 in 4.3 years, but it will run for about ever. You can put the banks side winder kit on it. I read an artical online about a build on one of them. Besides updating the block and heads, they did some machine work, and used the banks kit and it dynod at over 450 torque.

I've had 14 on mine. Not quite that heavey, it was 1000-1200 each.

 

[lbjamm]

I can put three horses and all the gear in the trailer and go down the interstate walking around people so much that they have to get out and see if they are going backwards. LOL

I'm gonna have to disagree with you guys on the 6.2. Biggest pieces of sit I've ever seen. It's just a 350 with diesel heads put on, that's one of the reasons the crank breaks. A 350 crank was never designed to handle that. Hell my dad had a 350 that broke 2 different cranks at about exactly 80000 miles each.

I'll stick with my 2000 7.3, it may not win any races but it will pull anything i put behind it with ease. It'll even handle over 4000 pounds in the bed and barely squat.

I think you are referring to the olds 350 diesel. The 6.2 is entirely different.

That is the best I've ever gotten out of my 8.1 on highway, unloaded, doing 75mph. Towing, 11 is the norm, no matter what it is.

 

[warriorgirl09]

[YAMAHAULER]

[Jordysoso]

My Mazda gets 23 mpg haulin my ass around lol but all seriousness we have a 96 f250 7.3 powerstroke with some work done to it we use for hauling. Had about 1200 pavers in the bed on two seperate skids and was getting around 15-18 mpg depending on the chip setting. I need to get rid of my Mazda and buy a decent truck or grand Cherokee. Always loved the look of the boxy bodystyle with a mild lift and tires
