Re: Have you driven a Ford lately?
 

I might be picking up a 2004 Cummins soon. I was looking at a 2004 Duramax which is the body I want, but I want a truck with a ------- loud and manly tractor motor in it. :P Plus having 2 silver Dodge's parked in my garage sounds so nice. :6
This is the rig I'm looking at right now:
Attachment 13627
Attachment 13628


Only 40k miles. I'm trying to pick it up for less than $20k.

Re: Have you driven a Ford lately?
 

I would much rather just buy a dodge than swap a superduty. The Ford has a bit better interior but not by much.

This guy is having problems with his PowerStroke after only 500k miles. What a POS. :P

Re: Have you driven a Ford lately?
 

new ford trucks look the best out of the 3. dodge trannies (auto) are complete garbage, and chevy, well my old boss had 2 duramax trucks, 1 he ended up getting rid of after a few years because it was falling apart, and the new one he bought the dealer bough back because it had serious issue with the motor. all Gm has going for it is the allison trannies.

i guess if you had a ford witha cummins and an allison youd have a serious ass truck.

Re: Have you driven a Ford lately?
 

---- yeah. :6 They make some killer trannies to replace the lame ass tranny they use with the Cummins. That combo is unstoppable and as long as you like the looks of the Dodge trucks, you're set. :6

Honestly, I'd rather have a Cummins with an Allison in a Chevy truck. I don't know why, but I just don't care for Fords. Never owned a Ford, but some of our work trucks are Fords and they are shitboxes and at 48k miles with religous oil changes every 3k miles they are starting to knock. :3 These are gas motors though.....

Re: Have you driven a Ford lately?
 

The torqueshift is about as bulletproof a trans as there is out there. I cant say aything bad about the allisons though.

I poop on your chest.

Re: Have you driven a Ford lately?
 

For me it would be a cummins in a dodge with an allison. Dodge running gear > ford running gear. I worked in a shop and pretty much all we did was front end and brake work on superduty's.

hahahha i was guesing motor swap

Re: Have you driven a Ford lately?
 

The gray one (6.4L) sucked air into the high pressure fuel pump and locked up the pmp therefore destroying the cam and pump gears.

The white one (6.0L) was over heated by the customer and scorched a piston( customer pay).

The dark gray one (6.4L) had an injector stick open and burn a hole in the piston.

If you are telling me that the 03+ aam diffs that dodge use now will even hold a candle to the dana 60/sterling10.5 combo you must of fell on your head :X

Dodge cant keep diff's, ball joints, tie rod ends, rack&pinions or anything else aam builds since the swap from dana :1

Drive by a dodge dealership right now and tell me how many complete diffs are outside waiting for waranty returns :y

Now if your talking pre 03 then I'd call them pretty even.

I'm not even going to touch the trans, the 5r110 will last longer then any dodge trans ever made even if it was filled with gravel :S
