Well i guess ill start off with how i got into diesels. I went over to a friends house one day and he had to go ask his mom for something, i cant remember what, but any way i seen he had a pile of diesel power magazines. So i skimed through a few and got really interested in them. Then i just picked up every diesel magazine i could. So im still in highschool and looking for a first truck ,which is why im here. I deffinately dont know alot about diesels and im ready to learn. I do know a bit about vehicles in general though. So far i like the site. Have a nice day! PS: i do not belive in the word stock

 

What do you want one for? DD, puller, smoke out intersections which isnt welcomed around here just fyi, welcome!

Im wanting a DD / occasion drag/sled puller no serious competition though around 500/600 hp

 

Well fyi a diesel takes a lot more maintenance to keep on the road you haven't mentioned any brands ford,gm,dodge but everything is more, oil,filter,air filters,fuel filters, tires, replacement parts, brakes,fuel insurance.

Well thats where i need advice. Im wanting to keep the buy in under $4,000. I'm thinking first generation dodge with the 12 valve cummins or the ford with the 7.3L idi

 

89-98 dodge or 94-97 ford a dd and reliable. If your wanting 500-600hp, 94-98 dodge. They are the cheapest and easiest to get power out of.
