10k and you want a decent turbo diesel?

good luck.

GM and Ford's diesels are nice. the 7.3 powerstroke is probably my favorite, but lots of the GM's can come with a allison trans

but for 10k max you arent gonna find much

Thanks, I already found a bunch. They all have over 100k but from looking around internet, 100k is nothing for turbo diesel

Get the Dodge Cummins

Hands down the best engine on the market in your price range.
100k is just broke in on a diesel since they are 300k+ before rebuild.
Look into a "waste oil" system also known as "veggie burning" you will save thousands upon thousands doing this. If you end up Ford let me know I have a friend who sells a killer waste oil kit for the Powerchoke.

Quads and maybe bikes later on. Always wanted to get into that and seen many friends go to pismo throughout the years, my time has come with this tax return.
