Advice for a new diesel owner
 
Hey guys,
I bought my first diesel last year, an 07 powerstroke. Biggest mistake of my life. Even after performing the head gasket procedure, I cannot keep the truck out of the diesel shop. I own a landscaping company and am looking for advice on which truck would be the most reliable and capable of the heavy towing I do. I will be towing atleast 10,000 lbs every day from April to October. It also will be my daily driver.

Any advice is appreciated. I am open to buying either a newer Powerstroke, Cummins or Duramax. I am on a slight budget because I am also a full time college student so a brand new truck is out of my price range.

Are you looking for creature comforts or just a work truck? The first and second gen dodges is a great choice IMO. lots of parts available and can be purchased for under 10K.
Very little electrical hassles. No EPA BS and easy to modify if you have the desire.:tu:
