Your right, the 6.0L PowerStroke was junk in a lot of ways. It made decent power though. IMO all diesels are junk nowadays. Poor, poor, horrible mpg's out of all the new ones. Gas prices aren't what's hurting diesels. It's the way higher cost of ownership, plus the crappy fuel mileage. The government has done the same thing to diesels as they did to the muscle cars, loaded'em up with emission equipment. My old Dodge with the 5.9 Cummings got about 23 mpg, the neighbors down the road just bought a brand new diesel Dodge and it gets 11 mpg. How is burning twice the fuel to go to the same place better for the environment? Crazy world we live in.
