I myself don't own a diesel but am a GM guy all the way. However, I do know for fact that the injection pumps on the 6.5L were kinda weak, if you have one go out have a good diesel shop rebuild it. And I also know for fact that someone had the great idea to save weight on the engines by shaving some of the block off behind one of the cylinders- hence a good place for a crack. Not sure what years that happened or when they finally decided it was a bad idea. Our seed dealer has an '01 Ford and pulls about 18,000 loaded and gets about 16 mpg and 18 mpg empty. He had a few Dodges but couldn't keep a tranny but they did about the same on fuel. Have a good friend who has Belgians and will get 18 mpg loaded with around 16,000 and over 20 mpg empty and has a Duramax/Allison. Another friend has a new 6.0L Ford and gets 16 mpg empty, but it seems to just shut down every now and then for no reason??? As far as the Allisons breaking that sounds strange to me, Allison builds trannys for the big trucks and I know they know what they are doing, curious as to what happened.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
