Get A 6.0?
 
Ok, here is my delima; I am getting tired if paying way too much for my truck so I was thinking about selling/trading it. I've always likes the looks and mostly the sound if the 6.0. The main reason for losing my dodge would be to straight pipe the 6.0 to hear that awesom sounding turbo just something about it I love em. Ford exhaust sound awesom. And I like the room and size of the crew cab. Just a good looking truck. I know the 6.0 has a slightly bad rep but would I really be making a mistake switching? I have no problem with just a intake and exhaust if the power starts the problem with the engine? I'm just addicted to their sound! What yall think????

6.0's are known for poor fuel mileage.

well I'm barely getting 15mpg now. Can't be much lower can it?

Nah, make sure to get a 4 inch exhaust

Could run down to a Ford dealer tomorrow and do some test driving. Give you a better feel of one.

I drove one right before I got my dodge. Drive nice. I only got a dodge cause my uncle worked there. Not a hardcore fan. I think each of the big 3's diesel's have goods and bad's. Im just tired of the crappy shifting, no room in back seat, and just ready for change.

I hear ya on the change of pace. Waiting until the 1/2 ton diesels come out, if they make it.

i didnt realy like the sounds of the 6slow myself.a guy i work with removed the cat first. made a little better sounding. then removed the muffler. it sounded worse to me. maybe just because i love the deep sound of any straight six diesel. all i could hear out of the truck was the air exiting the exhaust pipe. lost all the deepness to it. any how, after all the problems we have had at ranger with them, i wont ever have one myself. but most the problems i think they got em

I like the deep dodge sound, but hearing the turbo going at it sitting still just sounds awesom to me. And I like the v8's sound. Ford and chevy, but the ford turbo sound just makes my day
