WELLLLL You are right Anyone with HALF a Brain. Anyone with a WHOLE brain knows that Ford's diesel trucks are the best overall package. while the Power Stroke (Built by Navistar a sub-Company of International) "MIGHT" not be as reliable as the I6 Cummins it is a whole lot more reliable and powerful than the DuraJunk (Detroit Diesel) GM uses. Dodge's trucks are junk but they have the best diesel motor in them.

Not really unless you are trying to compare the 6.0 sickos to Chevy and Dodge...
Both makers had numerous problems with their diesels when they came out and Ford has now pretty much come out and said that the 6.0 was rushed due to emissions (that's why the 7.3 went)
Biggest thing on the Ford is having to maintain them.. Most people barf at the cost of maintainace and then wonder why they are paying for $300 injectors for.
supposedly Ford doesn't want another fiasco and has put over 500k miles on the new 6.4 in the worst crap to make sure they don't hiccup now.
BTW -
Duramax is Gm and ISUZU (GM had nothing but problems with diesels and had to go out of house to get one with quality)

vast trucks interior the rustic have merely approximately continually run on diesel, no longer unleaded. extremely some smaller trucks (3/4 ton and a million-ton pickups) are additionally engaged on diesel gasoline because of the fact of extra useful gasoline financial equipment and longer existence. Diesel vehicles have had a bad acceptance for a protracted time right here as a results of noise and the scent, yet with the VW golfing and Jetta TDI engines advertising 50 MPG, the diesel is catching on in some circles.

You are correct! Only a person with just half a brain would think that. The Ford Powerstroke (designed by Ford, manufactured by IH) is without a doubt the finest diesel engine built today & the aftermarket perfomance equipment available for this engine is seemingly endless. Why do you think the Ford P/U is the largest selling vehicle in the US & has been for over 20 yrs? Also, the Cummings diesel in the Dodge is manufactured by FORD!

to correct you the 7.0 from the 99-03 was the king swinging #%@#. i think today dodge and duramax hold the glory. but even last year in the dunes i saw 1 ford 7.0 yank a rv out of the sand like childs play. 2 chevy's had to do the same thing about 2 hours later for someone in the same spot.

The Ford Power Joke... Ahem I mean power stroke engine has a ton of torque and can be beefed up with some after market parts to totally demolish a dodge Hemi. Dyna makes a kit that'll roast the tires off it. Yes that much speed and power from a Deisel.
I hate Fords But there trucks are the only good thing they have and I would actually own from Ford

1. Lots of torque that the Japanese can never and will never achieve. 2. Ford reputation for reliable and tough trucks. 3. People with half brains think they aren't as good as Dodge or Chevy, plus, again where's the beef JAPAN?

the ford diesels have some of the best low end torque on the market and they run longer than the cummins or the duramax but anyone with half a brain would know that
