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. 
This is the rig I'm looking at right now:
Only 40k miles. I'm trying to pick it up for less than $20k.

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 *** truck.

---- yeah.
They make some killer trannies to replace the lame *** 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. 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.
These are gas motors though.....

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.

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.

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
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
