Hey guys,
I'm having a boring Saturday night. Stoked to say that my Spartan tuner, DPF and EGR delete are purchased and on their way. I had my second regen. yesterday on the highway and was Pi$$ed. I just started using Diesel Kleen and was seeing MPG improvement, then during regen I watched the gas needle plummet. All I could keep thinking was, don't worry, this is the last regeneration you're ever going to do. Haha.
So the prompt for this post is really about 6.4 motors in the future. All this working on my truck and getting to know her really well has me thinking. I don't believe I'll want to leave the truck behind for a very very long time. Is there a point with such a short lived motor (only 3 years) will become too scarce to be able to just swap the block out? I could definitely see just putting a new engine in eventually as I love the truck. For those who have experience in such mechanical worlds, how long until this era might come upon the 6.4?
The way I figure it. My purchase style for vehicles is to save money for years, then when it's necessary, make the purchase. I had close to 30k over about 5 or 6 years of saving. In the next decade I can easily make that back as I am a habitual saver. I figure putting 30 grand back into a truck wouldn't even be necessary to make it slick and amazing again. What is everybodies thoughts? Why or why not?
Sorry if this is a boring post. Just sorta laying around with nothing but my thoughts.
