Rembrant Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Lots of later model Bull diesels showing up these days. Can't see a lot of this truck, but it looks good at a glance. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/802302940/overview/?aff=atempest&utm_source=AutoTempest&utm_medium=TRP&utm_campaign=atempest I like the 20 MPG part. That seems pretty good for a truck that size and weight, but I'm sure the GVOD has a lot to do with that? As Gary always says, you'd have a hard time building that truck for that money.

Gary Lewis Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I like this one! I like the OD and the turbo. And if it truly gets ~20 MPG, which is very possible, then it gets as good as Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I’ve seen this truck turn up for sale before... I think it’s priced too high. The GVOD and turbo do add value, but not ~that much. The vast majority of Banks turbo’s out there are the old non-wastegated style with the square air cleaner box. These are worth about $500 on the used market. The wastegated models go for a bit more, but not over $1,000. The used GVOD’s are also around $1,000. Having them already installed is worth something, but $15,900 is reaching! The 20 mpg figure is repeated often yet achieved seldom. You need 3.55’s plus overdrive, or double overdrive on 4.10’s to get there.... and probably only with stick shift or lockup automatic. The seller of my truck touted its ability to get 20 mpg, but it was 17 mpg all day long. I got 21mpg only once... on an all downhill run from Flagstaff to Lee’s Ferry. Jan’s truck got an honest 21mpg at 60-65mph as I personally experienced it with the ZF and 3.55 gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
