I DID say I was considering a Used Ford. I know diesels are best for long hauls, but no engine should need $800 worth of injectors at 40k miles. And oil lines should not leak right through the rubber and by the dealers admission be a chronic problem, but not warranty. I agree that the old 6.2's were good but anemic for power and we could've bought two replacement gas engines for what we spent on pumps, injs, and relays and relays and glow plugs....I was told that the 6.5 was altogether different and when researching it in 96, equal to other two. In tests at the time ford, chevy, and dodge were within 5 hp and 10 ft/lbs torque, but you see very few 1990's vintage 6.5 chevy's and lots of dodges and fords. If we were driving this like most people do it would disintigrate. It practically has a meltdown here in Mich. running with the air on pulling a tractor. If we lived in south or Ariz. it would burn up. I know the resale value on the same vintage fords and dodges in better too.
