So I was approached yesterday with a strange offer. A gentleman near my buddy's shop offered to trade me an 08 6.7 Mega cab for my truck. Straight up title for title. I thought he was full of it but today he did it again. So here I am asking myself really?? Are our trucks becoming that sought after? Talking to my buddy he says the guy is a builder, ie builds lots of cars from insurance yards to Craigslist.The truck has an H&S EGR delete and 4" exhaust with no cat. What do you think? I love my truck and all but

Ya dyed fuel is bad. We both are describing similar situations that will always take injectors out. At my work i can count 2 guys running vps, 1running a p-pump, and off the top of my head 18 common rails. At least 3 of the common rails owned vp trucks before

In my situation I was always worried about vps, tps, sensors, tq issues, fuel pressure. With my common rail, once I do injectors I wont worry about anything

It's interesting how many fuel issues these injectors are susceptible to. The 68rfe trans is what we are seeing as issues in the north west.

Both of us are. There are different circumstances in our regions. Here, they can get away running their trucks on the Ag fuel.

So it's not the AG fuel that's bad, it's the situations that it's exposed to? Thought the dyed fuel had more sulpher in it!

The VP44 is a weak link & all the early electronics that go with it!

So the bigger automatics aren't good either?

The guys at my tranny shop call the 68rfe an over sized Caravan trans.

all diesel  'here'  comes up  the same pipeline.   no  grade differential,  or  coloring.  It's as  clear as  water.   Now,  when the transport trucks  haul it away,   it's THEN  treated  with  certain  company  additives,  or  the  red dye.  (that crap is  the most  insane  dye ever  put in a  jug!!)        My friend   spilled  some  undiluted  dye on his forearm,  and   for the next  4 days,  his  white t shirts  were pink..  It was coming out his sweat glands!

...especially under the arms,      He claimed he  was  peeing   pink too!  (no way of  confirming this!)  I had to  take his word on it. 

It's all  ULSD  now.     no more  'ag' type  fuel with  just a little  more   S..  at least here in Nebraska.

 

Above ground storage is   terrible on keeping fuel 'fresh'.     which is   what most  farmers  have  to  store their fuel.  I am  guilty too.

That makes me see PINK! What a scam!!!!!!!

How is it a scam when there are no road taxes on the fuel? How are the roads supposed to get repaired? The only scam I know of is the price of the red fuel is higher than if you removed the road tax from the clear.
