this is a bit of misinformation. so if your going to spread gossip please do us all afavor and make sure its accurate.
there is a knowen issue of f450/f550 having this concern. the number of effected units is not that large I know of less then 20 accross the country. I have seen 2 come threw my dealer. Im doing one of them now.
lets just say my number is a very small sample. say its 10x that.. that would make 200 trucks out of over 250,000 units on the ground and running. To date this is the only major issue we have see.
there have been some issues with the nox system but all have been minor.
if you think dodge and gov'ment motor are doing better do some more looking.
also nternational does not have a light duty truck in the market.. iirc they start arounf 26k gvw
