we were at the Ford dealership and almost purchased a 04 6.0 ltr powerstroke. The Nice GM (after talking with the wife) told us to go to Dodge and buy the Cummins. I'm glad he did.

Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Thanks for the laugh DJ. If you want outdated overboxy style buy a chevy.... If you want the best tranny buy a chevy..... If you want the best truck on the road buy mine Shocked Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy



Editors note: Ford had a great thing going with the 7.3L PSD, then federal emmision mandates pushed the piece of junk 6.0L power joke on us Angry

would still love to have a cummins powered F-350 with an allison tranny.... wishful thinking, but I would buy one

I know I'm a little behind here but I've been a Ford man for years so I thought I would put my two cents in.  It's sad to see that Ford has had so many problems with there new engine. Luckily I have a 1997 F-350 Power Stroke with the 7.3 in it. I only have  69,000 miles on it and with the 3-4 thousand miles I put on it a year it should be in the drive way for a long time. Hopfully by the time I need a new truck Ford has pulled there head out of the sand dune and have a good truck for me to buy. If not I too will jump ship and probably go to a Chevy.
