Extremely good, considering they make it through with less dirt than my VW. 

It’s an Allison transmission kinda like a Rigid drill is Rigid, despite it being a Techtronic Industries drill with the license to use the Rigid name from Emerson.  

This will be great for towing that boat I don’t have up that mountain I don’t live near!

I’m expecting to see it driven by the banker bros in the city I live in. It’s just like the lifted Wranglers with off road tire and painted recovery hooks without a single scratch.

It’s not as much as you’d imagine given how early the torque hits and how fast it falls off. It just means your 300 hp comes in at a lower RPM. The Fast Lane dyno tested all 3 of the big diesels in 2017, below is the result(assuming the image doesn’t get kinja’d). Link just in case: https://www.tfltruck.com/2017/03/201…

Does he have a 2012 or older ISB?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who storm chased at a young age. But my most embarrassing one was when the only road out of the spotting location was blocked by a down tree. I got out and took a pic of the tree and car. After I got back in, I reviewed the image and discovered I was parked on a power line and it was…

The diesel is really only worth it if you plan on keeping it for more than 10 years, or tow, then there’s a decent difference in fuel economy and better driving experience. I always go for the diesel, but I also keep the trucks for 10 or so years.

The Ford 6.7 also isn’t known to be the more reliable of the bunch either. And when a modern diesel has issues, it creates a domino effect of failures that can cost more than a gently used Kia.

It may be worth reaching out to the seller and see if it’s refurbished by LG, just to have it in writing. It states “certified refurbished” and a one year warranty.

Display items and returns as others mentioned. You have no basis to worry on a manufacture refurbished item because it’s been tested by an individual, and components are replaced as needed. I’ve had more faulty issues with new electronics than manufacture refurbished items.

Well said. 

If they hit a full blown panic, their instincts can take full control of the decision making process, even if they aren’t logical.

A lot of them are, but not all of them that are in factories and storage facilities. Usually the warming is to keep the water from freezing.

For an extreme version of holding it to the floor with no warmup, Cummins fire pump engines(not fire trucks, fire pumps for factory and high rise sprinkler systems) hit full throttle within seconds of startup. One of them my buddy maintains gets 24 hours of WOT testing each month and is guaranteed for 10 years. 

The 12 valve has it as well, the grid heaters are pretty useless. Glow plugs are significantly better, but not needed on a common rail. 

Diesels have always been direct injection, except for the engines with indirect injection. My Dad's Yanmar is mechanical indirect injection, just like some of the old VW diesels. My Cummins is mechanical direct injection. The indirect injection engines have a prechamber and do not have a deep combustion bowl. 

The glow plugs aren’t needed. The reason the diesel engines of today start so easy is 29,000 psi injection pressure(even tje best GDI will hardly surpass 3,000-5,000)with 6 or more injection events on your TDI.

It’s something to be cautious of, just like with other used cars. It can just as well be an appliance to someone who likes to buy new cars every year or so.
