We may have went through a lot of these because we had a lot of these trucks in the system. But it seemed that we used a higher proportion of these parts than anything else. Mike |

We run the big trucks using the torque curve and don't have any trouble...........Usually on hills you will pull them down some, then they hit the sweat spot on the curve(Or should I say flat ![]() Main problem in these pickup is they are putting a diesel in them and not backing them with components designed for real work, instead they are going after the customer like my uncle, they buy a 3/4 ton truck with a Diesel to pull a single axle bumper pull trailer.............Of-course he never puts the truck to any real use because he thinks he's overloaded when he has 4K on the trailer..............We don't have much trouble with our pickups, but I have friends that haul cattle with pickups and no matter what brand they buy it doesn't hold up. They are getting more power out of these pickups then they were years ago in OTR tractors, we often say they should offer a small Roadranger as a transmission option.............Yeah they are heavy, but they last and drive well.

that can be said for any motor, every brand/line is going to have a bad one in there now and then. If i may ask why do you dislike the 4.3 b/c its a 350 minus 2 cylinders

Re: 96 diesel in a 67 GMC
Alot of guys I know buy these new diesel pickup trucks -ford dodge gm- .and never really put a load behind them. Like a toy hauler or something in that range, then we leave town towing bragging about how there gonna leave me in the dust. Then we come to the first big climb and I blow by in my big block gas. Is what they dont under stand, Is if we were all pulling something real heavy I wouldnt stand a chance. Now before you guys get started I realize these trucks are pretty economical compared to mine, But also most of the guys I work with ''are city slickers'' lol- like myself and think automatically if you are gonna tow something you gotta have a diesel.. Now I am planning on towing heavier in the future but I want to put something custom together and still ''blow them off the road'' vintage style. It seems alot of men hit that gettin old age whatever that is and they go out and buy a huge truck lift it two feet put way to big of tires on it divorce there old ladys and never even use the truck as a truck...Well I am sure someone will not like what I am saying so I'll shut up now....peace......

Re: 96 diesel in a 67 GMC
Around here I see guys in ties commuting to the office and soccer moms running around in these $50,000 rigs that the working man can`t afford.I`ve been running diesels since they`ve been out and were like a novelty,like no one took them seriously.Heck,it took Dodge`til`89 to put one on the road.And,BTW,they had alot of problems at first from vibration.Now,I`m running around in old junk while the upper middle class drives the work trucks around with hard tonneau covers to create a trunk for their "car".

Re: 96 diesel in a 67 GMC
Seems alot go with a big diesel pickup for the fuel mileage...............And the rest of the truck never gets used.

Re: 96 diesel in a 67 GMC
I`d rather drive a Vette if I wasn`t hauling.They get great gasmileage at 80 mph.
