A guy came into my cousins shop saying how he had to take his new 6.7psd back to the dealer for injector problems..they replaced all the injectors 11 THOUSAND DOLLARS. Luckily under warranty. The average person is not going to get any farther than tuning and an exhaust with this one plus they are impossible to work on without pulling the whole cab off thankfully everything is right there in the open for the dodge.

Before I bought my 2008 F-250, I test drove the CHEVY 2500 & DODGE 2500. I didn't like the chevy looks, or the dodge FORD gave me the better price

cause they have brains, and well apparently ford did a gigantic fail with the awesome turbo setup that only runs good at sea level, sorry i was really hopin ford could pull the rabbit out of the hat this time and have a good diesel that would kick the dog crap out of everything else out there or at least get truck of the year, but nope
On a powerstroke site, there was word that when they did it in 4 wheel the ford had no problems. I have absolutely no proof wether it is true or not. All I know is the electronic traction control can define the heck out of the motor with a small amount of slip. I make it a lot of places my dodge never would have because of the esc.

you can have more power but if you don't have traction it doesn't do you any good if you can't hook

i've raced plenty of cummins and durmaxs and won because they didn't know how to spool right and just broke loose at the light

the ford weight 200lbs more than the chevy that is not even enough to say it is heavier and definitely not enough to make it 2 minutes slower to the top of the hill, your point is completely invalid, now if you guys could just admit the ford screwed the pooch on this yet again we'd all be good to go, but you can't and therefore i want to argue. Though I want a new ford badly

i would believe this, but at the same time I think the publishers of the article did say that they both started in 4wd for best traction and shifted it out of 4wd at 30mph when they were obviously moving pretty good, so unless the ford is just god of everything and is still capable of burning all 6 tires off at 30mph with 18,900 lbs hooked to it, then what they're trying to tell you is a lie
