Ya i dont mind teasin guys I just dont wanna upset anyone unintentionally. Any how Mdub Ive worked on the truck, ford has worked on the truck lately, I dont have time to work on it right now since Im goin to college, And my grandfather is trying realy realy hard for ford to mess up and sue em for a new truck thats why weve thrown that much at it. I much rather have a 7.3L and I wanna see how the new 6.7L are I have yet to meet anyone around here where I live that likes there 6.0L stock. Also yes I know Cummins blow up to, Im sure he chiped the foo-foo outta it haha. So Sorry if I upset anyone once again, I have one to, and I wont buy another one, I will buy a ford but not a 6.0L. Im curious 03 what did a dodge do to you so far mine be a friggin blessin.

ive owned 3, but only one of them were diesel. all 3 had tranny issues, the seats looked like a chinese person made them for 5 cents an hour, they were actually so bad that i sold one 2 months after buying it, kept the other one 5 months, and one i had for a week. all of them were 01 and ups and had rust issues.......being southern trucks that shouldnt have been an issue. one had head gasket issues. they rode like complete feces, 2 of them i couldnt even have a coffee in the cup holder because it would all shake out on the floor. the 2 gas trucks got 11mpg highway, and the diesel didnt do much better. And i dont know how in the fart they could still have dash cracking issues... The steering was horible I can keep going...

Id take my 6.0 over any dodge

I cant agree with you 03 Im sorry , My 98 has been a miracle. It starts under - 20 degress unpluged that will be somthing ford will never be accomplished. Also my dodge has a little bit of ford in it Why do you think the Cummins Symbol was blue in the Ninties. Any how Im not bashing ford Im just bashin the 6.0 inside the ford.

Then I wish I had you 6.0L wanna trade for an 05 crew cab dully
Here one more thing. My mom has a 03 Dodge durango R/T with the 5.9L 360 and 280K and the tranny great and original and has 100k old fluid in it I need to change that.
I Have 223K on my Cummins tranny great its original tranny fluid changed every 20K
My dodge dakota has a 3.9L V6 and 230K on it all original tranny was good in it to.
IDK dodge has been good to me 03 powerstroke, so has ford till the 6.0L. This is all im gonna say now and shut the heck up. SO ill zip it. We just need a truck bashin page I guess.

Give me a Dodge or a Ford, bet I can break both.


Guys... I kind of keep it relaxed and try not to intervene much here in my lowly 6.0 section, but try and keep the swearing down, this is supposed to be a "family" site. I just edited the words out for now. If you keep swearing I'm going to start editing all your posts to say "I like turtles," then everyone on the site is going to think you're an idiot. No one wants that.
