I have just learned this from some friends that have been using it...NO PROBLEMS SO FAR.


well, lakeside has a lot of citizens that are dumb enough to sell red dye diesel and publicize it on the web.

felony tax evasion -- fines and prison time are large.

but would be a good way to improve gene pool and clear out dead wood in lakeside/klantee area.

Poor little 6.0s get so much disrespect...

I've had two and my friends have had several. One guy did develop problems but he also towed a loaded 35' 5th wheel 80mph over Cajon. I love mine. But I will eventually spend some money to replace the oil cooler and egr to prevent future troubles. And I love the 5R110 trans, especially when towing.

No Doug, I love mine very much, I am going to get a new WARRANTY and I will feel safe, I won't part with it, It doesn't take brain surgery to figure outlying cost VS raepair especially with a Warranty.

A diesel wil run and run and run and keep on running, most Gas engines are good for 100,000 plus a bit. now divide that into 400,000miles +++ tell me do you think you may be able to pay for a bit of repair??

Don, the Diesel is on ?? sorry for got the name of the Main St. but across from the Rock Quarry in Santee only one Rock Quarry.

Here is the deal you have to have containers, can't go directly into the Tank, where are you coming up with these prices?

Make sure you lok to see if the Hwy Patrol on his Motorcycle is not there, he has a stick to check your fuel color...Good Luck, but if it is in containers a different story.

what did you work your entire life for...repairs?


That's a good question.

In an economy where the public servant hasn't had their wages and benefits steadily eroded I'd be all over that.
My pay package has been eroded to the point where I am making about the same as I was 10 years ago.
10 years ago that was a very comfortable wage and life was pretty fun and, if not easy, certainly we had much more discretionary money.
Today, that dollar buys probably about 60% of what it did then.

It's a pretty rugged world out there for the working class right now.
Just under two years and out.
I don't need the biggest and the best to be happy and I am not wasting my finite life waiting for this economy to turn around.
How true brother, I'm on San Diego City. They want to take my retirement away. They would if they could. Retiring in Baja is what I'm thinking. 1 year eight months until I drop. Hey, I homebrew too if you need any help getting started.
