Stepped down from intended purchase (CCSB 2500 CTD 4wd) and got the QCRB 1500 4wd/Posi 5.7l instead. Hearing some stories about issues w the 6.4l I made a good choice. I get 13 to 16 city and 23-25 highway, both b/c of cylinder deactivation.

Payoff, please, I straight traded my Forester in w money still due on it and just added another 8k to the loan. It's only money after all.
Please dont compare me to Heeday....
Hes on a whole different planet. One that I care not to explore.
Thanks.

And im sorry you dont know jack about diesels. I was talking about the 07 5.9 6BT cummins. Before they went to the federal mandated DFP filters in the 6.7 turd. There was no 6.4 cummins.
The 5.9 diesel gets 23 freeway with a smarty tuner and proper gearing/tires. Plus a feather foot.

And thats because its got a turbo deisel motor. More torque and more hp @ less rpms than your gasser. No special electronics shutting down cylinders for better fuel economy.

And lastly the payoff...been there done that too.....

I used to drive an 01 f250 and owed on that when I traded in too.

Its a little bit of a monthly price difference when you add another 7 grand on a $35k truck.
Its just money but maybe some people cant afford quite as much as you?

Did I miss anything?

New battery and cleaned, tightened terminals on my All-Trac turned a paperweight back into my go kart again after months of dust gathering.

***Made a mistake, my review below is for Detail Addict, damn reading comprehension failed me yet again.


The first time I went to detail addict I had a pretty large amm of stuff to do on the car. I arrived late and things began fast with the owner even getting his wife to help vacuum and with some small things (yes they are now struggling to beat the sun going down b/c im a late idiot).

Unfortunately he did not finish the all exterior stuff working steadily hard for about 3hrs. Because he didn't finish all the exterior stuff (think we had to skip the polishing but I can't remember), THE OWNER TELLS ME NO, he doesn't want any money and refuses to take it because he didn't finish. He then tells me to come back in a month or 2 and have the car finished entirely and I can pay then. He just had spent hours working on my car with professional talent. At this point I was blown away, you just don't find many people whose top priority is doing a good job over all else.

I of course went back a couple months later, and now 4-5? years later? I still haven't been anywhere else and won't be going to any other detail shops, I live an hour away each direction.

So to answer your question, they are awesome and you won't find a cheaper price. or better work (A rare combo). The other crazy thing is they will teach you legitimately how to do the stuff yourself if it's a hobby you want to take up.
