I also have had both. Currently have a Ford diesel and will be buying an F-
Super Duty within a year or so. Why? Experience with both brands. I owned
an 83 and an 85 diesel Blazer with the 6.2 diesel. In Haiti in 94 my unit had
a dozen or so Chevy 6.5 turbo diesels. Performance and reliability were
disappointing with the Chevys. The interiors just seemed to fall apart with
hard use. In Haiti we had to drive into some pretty rank places with roads
barely recognizable. The Chevys were not confidence inspiring. Whenever the
situation was difficult I always wished I had been able to take my Ford diesel
truck with me on that C-141 leaving Ft Bragg. Fords are just a better brand.
Thanks, Butch Davis-

As for noise check out a 1999 Power Stroke they are quieter than the 6.5 and
make even a 97 Power Stroke seem weak.

>>diesel with real power and performance. The Chevy has the lowest noise
level
>>because the engine is so gutless it can't growl like the Stroker.

Hey y'all,

Our first Super Duty Arrived today...actually I went to the Ford
plant in St. Paul and got it. It is a F-450 4x4 cab and chassis XLT
with the 7.3L and auto. This thing is an absolute beast. Tons of
power, exceptional visbility, enormous cab room, and very little
engine noise inside the cab are just the start of the qualities. I
think anyone interested should definately check one of these bad boys
out. We are supposed to be getting two more next week....I can't
wait. These things will sell like hot cakes.

Steve:

I got the single 3" Gibson on mine. The Gibson brochure says that the
dual
2.5" pipes aren't recommended for heavy towing. I have a 17' travel
trailer
but plan on moving up to a 25' in another year. They also say the
single 3"
makes about 7 more ft/lb torque than the duals.

I live in Virginia Beach and bought the system from Truck Accessory
Center
in Moyock, NC. I had them install it. The cat back was 263.00, they
charged me $45.00 to install although I could easily have done it myself

but didn't feel like doing it. This system is pretty hefty so I feel
comfortable
it will last (although I trade in trucks about every 2 years so it might
not
matter if I get the "itch" again in 2000).

Jim
