Stinking - Nasty DIESEL Engines! 56K Warning

[SELLC]

Yeah.. It has been becoming a "trend" around here for poor individuals to approach us for repairs on their Diesel. While most of the time it gets sprung on me by a customer whom we have done work for with Gas engines, it’s becoming more and more common place.

First off I would like to say that Diesel engines are anything but rude, unbalanced, non-precision machines. I have most recently get SCREWED by taking in an oil pan job on an E450 with the big 7.3 Turbo Diesel. While it was claimed to be "Impossible" by Ford, Mitchell’s, and All Data to replace without removing the engine, we were able to do so without even removing the radiator or disconnecting the very expensive DUAL AC system that this refrigerated E450 Cube van had. Most impressed I was when looking at the bottom end, very precise indeed. More so that I would have expected for such nasty, rude, clankers. I was also taken back by the Turbo which seemed to be the size of a small sewer cap! What a nasty job that was, I had to remove the transmission and suspend the engine in mid-air while I cleaned the area and installed the new special Diesel silicone and Oil Pan. That’s right people... They still fricking use silicone on a 2003 7.3 TD engine for the oil pan! Well after all was said and done I can see why people get hooked on the drone of their engines clanking away. Compression rates of diesel engines and the fuel pressures after the injection pump are INSANE. They are slow as $hit but when diesels are used to haul weight it becomes clear the advantages. This may explain my most of your Diesel guys driving cars are rather heavy set. lol

Anyway, if anyone ever gets asked to do an oil pan on any E-Series Diesel you had better RUN-FOREST....RUN-FOREST......RUN

Take my word for it.

Well after all that ****ing and moaning about Diesels I went out and got one.

The thing is a beast and should have its own zip code! I have been working too hard latley to really enjoy it, but I have a trip planned.



Aint she purdy!? Yeah she was a repo, but I still love her. Even if she is a bit loud, crude and stinky.

Aw man, it really hurts to get moved to the "Other" Automobiles forum!

Id like to think Nutz was just trying to steal my thunder! LOL  :motz:

Do you even know what a swastika is? This is a swastika-



What is on the front of my truck is a confederate flag, NOT a swastika. This is what a confederate flag looks like



I dont see why people keep mixing them up. There is a big difference between a federation of southern states and your buddy shown below.


How many of these people in the photo look like Americans?  <;(

Maybe you would know this if you didnt live in states that were recently purchased such as ALASKA or HAWAII

Here is what some good ole' boys and girls look like

The symbol is different, but the racial intolerance part is the same.
