Enjoy your new truck! Just because you no longer have a Powerstroke, doesn't mean you can't hang out here from time to time.

I know a few guys who did this and regretted it after a month.

Stuck with the dodge because they have payments on it and cannot get what they owe cause it lost so much value in a week.

So they sold their paid off powerstroke for truck payments. *giggles*

He's not the first guy in here to leave for a dodge (not counting Mike).
Most of them have come back with a new powerstroke and swore they would never do it again.

Cumins is a nice motor.
What it sets in is what I have a problem with.

I don't want to have to use a porta power to put my trans cross member back in.

You know, We should start a thread for all the dodge traitors to post in here, that way they can still feel welcome and we'll just pretend they are saying "ford" instead of dodge and "Powerstroke" instead of Cummins.

Over the years, I've owned them all. Except a duramax. My consensus is that if you don't own an obs powerstroke you're dumb haha.

Joking, kinda.

JFYI I paid cash for the truck also I have been a faithful Ford owner since I was 16 I am 41 now I have to say my OBS has been the best truck I ever owned but she is getting old now and is costing me more and more money.

I had been in the market for a new truck for a while and my price range was in the 6.0l bracket but I did not want one because they are junk and every 7.3 I could find had either too many miles or were more worn out than my OBS.

So after doing some homework and looking pretty dam hard I found this truck it is cherry and will walk circles around my OBS it is a Laramie and has the HO Cummins with Fass fuel system Bullydog powerpup programer AFE Intake AFE aftermarket turbo 5"exhaust Valair clutch Autometer gauges 4" lift brand new rims and tires new front end and much much more.

I just could not trust my 16 year old truck anymore especially pulling my 5er with my family after doing research the cummins is the most dependable out of all the newer diesels.

FYI William the Dodge cummins hold their value better than a powerstroke believe me I know I have been shopping for months now.
