One of my friends worked in the body shop of a Ford dealership back in those days. The service department had to replace the engines in several brand new diesel pickups that hadn't even been sold yet. They had to pull the cab to change out those engines.
Personally, I believe the federal government has ruined the diesel pickup in this country. I'll never own one. My 20 year old 454 dually doesn't pull a trailer all that fast and doesn't get very good gas mileage, but it's really cheap to own.
