LOL most of the mileage on those "working" trucks as you call them are without a load or trailer. A once or twice a month trip to the sale barn doesn't show a working truck. The cattle buyers work their trucks but they are at 3-4 sale barns a week. The guys delivering campers have working trucks. Lot of contractors have working trucks that haul some type of load 3-4days a week if not more. But most farm pickups haul a load less than one day a week on average. Having owned a diesel I won't own another. Just doesn't have the pay off. Guy I know crops about 1500 acres. Owns a diesel pickup. He also owns a gasser. The diesel sits in the shed except for when he is going to pull home a new implement or Sunday. His daily driver is the gasser. Some working truck! Another family here 1/2 farms (beef and grain) the other 1/2 is in earth moving. All of them are driving Ford Diesels. The farming side seldom work their trucks while the other side are always pulling small dozers and skid steers. The farming side sells enough beef at once that they have semi's coming in to get them and use big trucks for grain. So what is the point where a guy can honestly justify the extra expense of a diesel? I'm not against diesels. I don't really care if someone owns one. I just don't like someone saying something just to justify what they want. A simple "I like them" is good enough for me. Just fail to see the sense of em. Must be getting old. Sounding a lot like my dad about things like this.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
