What a coincidence - we may have been classmates; avionics, 90-92 (rather than directly returning to work I used my GI Bill).
His first name is Rob..big guy and his parent's lived across from us in Belle Chasse. He probably attended that school in the late 70's or early 80's. He's around 60 yrs old now.

New Powerstroke owner



2015. Not deleted..... yet!
Been a Cummins owner for 20 years. Made the switch! So far, love it! There comes a time when common sense overrules loyalty. For me, now was the time. Hope I made the right decision.

based upon the lack of repairs needed on my 2013, I'd say it is a good choice.

Around 5 years ago I decided it was time to trade off my 02 F250 V10 gas, and so I started reading the various forums (7.3, 6.0, 6.4, 6.7.)
I'm slow but it eventually dawned on me that with the exception of the 6.7 forum folks were having lots of troubles - so I started really watching it. Eventually I overcame my doubts about going in to debt and bit the bullet with a 14 F250 6.7.

My payments are steep - however there is NO additional unscheduled money going to mechanics; this 6.7 forum continues with very little failures being reported. Several weeks ago I traded for another one.

My former 02 F250 spent several of its last years unwashed (excl windshield). I advertised it as having the "No Maintenance Appearance Package".

Monty,

Now that your Montana is trouble free, what are your current thoughts on this brand of RVs? If you had the money and desire for a new RV today, what brand would you be looking at? Would a new Montana be on the list?

Just asking....

Bruce...

Two months since the last post here? Are the dually owners giving it up so easily?
