Popular Post TozziWelding Posted April 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2014 I have had it with the GMC, eating tires and being overweight and the 6.5 Diesel is the biggest piece of shit gutless wonder I have ever owned. Found this nice rot free 51,000 original miles F600.Frame is clean as a whistle, and she runs like a champ, drove it to the yard with no issues.Pulled the dump body off of it the other day, when the rain lets up my service body will be going on it.Anybody want a 10 foot landscape dump body with hoist, pump, tank, and PTO...... 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35578-new-service-truck-f600/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheeler73 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The best service truck I have drove was an Isuzu HTR with the straight 6 Duramax which is a rare find.

TozziWelding Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 She has a big block gas burner, more power and reliability than the 6.5 and about the same fuel mileage. To say it is over built is an understatement, the water pump is twice the size of a regular 460, 8 quart oil pan, double size oil filter, spin on fuel filter, giant radiator and dual thermostats. I have a nice 4BBl manifold and Edelbrock carb to go on top after she hits the road.

They would run hot-I saw a Boston Globe delivery truck on 495 one night and the muffler was glowing red!

TozziWelding Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Red Horse it is a baby 370, but still a 385 series engine, the old globe truck was probably one of the later fuel infected ones with a cat. I wont be running 100 miles of 495 with it so it will do me well.If i feel the need later I can always drop in a 5.9 Cummins or a DT466 without much sweat.

TozziWelding Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 The kid gave me a hell of a deal on it, paid less for this than I did for 4 tires across the back of my GMC..
