Lovin this truck more and more. Sounds great at idle. I bet the video does no justice to just how loud it is.

yeah it's pretty damn loud. 4" down pipe into a 5" exhaust system with no muffler and a set of turbo headers. It does cruise pretty quietly which is nice.

If I ever had to choose between a diesel truck and my sports car I would take the truck hands down. More uses period. But I don't need a truck at this point in life. :p

This is the way I'm leaning. I have three kids and a wife. Wife just traded the SUV for a BMW 3 series 4 door car. We all fit, but it's not optimal. The WS6 is my baby, but I've always wanted a nice diesel truck. I can modify the truck to my liking, still have something loud and fast, and have the ability to haul everyone comfortably. Problem is that I refuse to give away my WS6. $16,000 is the lowest I would take for it. Don't give two ***** about blue book or whatever other book is out there. I have put a lot of money, time, effort, and sweat into that car. If it doesn't sell, then I'm fine with that. I'll just work harder and keep saving until I have enough to buy a truck that I feel is worthy.

Thanks. The car is pretty bad ***. It's damn near mint and only has 47,000 miles on it. We shall see if I can get it sold.

Both the Duramax and the 6.4 Powerstroke are damn beastly. I'd gladly take either. Saw a blue 2008 6.4 yesterday with a 10" lift and 40" tires on Rockstar wheels with the Bushwaker fender flares.

If you had a choice between a LBZ Duramax or a 6.4 Powerstroke, which way would you go, and why?

Powerstroke. They are the better all round truck and when you spend that kind of money for a truck your not getting a gas truck with diesel in it like you would with dodge or chevy. I like that ford takes the time and money to make there 2500/diesel trucks stand out from there regular truck line. Not only does it show cosmetically but everywhere else.

I never thought about it like that before. One thing I like most about the Fords is the look and interior. The Fords look the best to me and the interior is pretty awesome.
