You’re not wrong about Toyota reliability, but I also have my doubts of the 5.7 outliving a diesel, be kinda bad if it did

I just want a super clean, low mileage 7.3 that an old man owned and babied its whole life.
The 7.3 wasn’t that great and I’m tired of pretending it was

None of them were. But the biggest problem with a Cummins is it was wrapped in a Dodge. The biggest issues with the 6.5 Detroit was it wasn't an industrial diesel adapted to a pickup, it was a pickup diesel and no one treated it that way.
But here we are....
We should have stuck with the 6.2L Detroit, the 6.9IDI, and the 6B....

IMO, and I would die on the hill, the best diesel truck I have ever used was an 06 duramax.
I swear its the perfect truck. Not the later duramax, but that one.

It was so much better than the 6.0 though. I hear the 6.7 has come a long way.

Toyota has it figured out. If you have very little power you put very little strain on the motor allowing for less maintenance.
The 7.3 in top trim made I believe 210/220
High pressure oil to fire injectors is problematic, injectors get clogged, oil shears horribly in the system, you have to keep a cam positioning sensor in the glove box at all times, cause it shiats that frequently, it’s a good thing they usually last pretty good block wise cause they aren’t sleeved, it’s a bored 6.9 and there isn’t enough material to bore it again so once it’s done it’s done.
New diesels are way better than the antique ones.
The 6.7 psd and 6.7 Cummins both will easily run as long as the oldies with way better power, and less problems, they’re just expensive to buy and if they ufck up
Lemons do happen but for the most part don’t buy an 11 and change the oil and fuel filters, and enjoy
This. One of my reasons for not buying one.

I dunno, my Tundra seems to be able to handle anything I've put behind it so far.
But all I haul are cars/trucks.

Don't know about Tundras but Tacos are notoriously underpowered compared to other mid size trucks

The 5.7 only has one flaw, it’s a half ton that gets the mpg of a gasser super duty
when I had my ecoboost f150 I towed a guy that had a 5.7 tundra, and we were discussing trucks, got to mpg, told him what I got, he told me what he got, "damn, maybe a little carbon on the valves ain't that big a deal"

Nice looking '61. WOW!!
on a more positive note, learning big red is starting to go a little smoother, I dislike vulcan (still a miller industries company) winch free spool control, its frustrating) but the under reach is starting to click more and swinging corners in a truck thats a good 4' longer than what I'm used to is starting to become 2nd nature, truck is very intuitive in terms of what it should do vs. your mindset, you just have to trust it.
the 605hp is nice vs the 485 and it rides nicer than the 25 ton
and nearly 200 gallons of fuel doesn't hurt on long hauls, more music, less looking for truck stops
