What? Have you ever owned one? Define junk?
I have a 93 IDI 7.3 300k miles.... They are not like modern diesels, They are slow as hell. But thats where it stops..... They will pull anything you hook to it. I've hauled probably 20 house trailers with mine... Including a couple 14x70's.... It seems like the fuel milage was all over the board between different trucks. Mine got 13 no matter what. Alot of guys got 18ish.....
The engine is great, but if you want a fast truck, Dont get it. They are slow as *****. I beat on mine like a red headed step child.
I've not drove one with a turbo on it though.Could be night and day difference.
