in the parking lot, and said "hey man, gettin all of those problems under control?".......... what the @!#$......... !!

 

What problems? I have 11000 trouble free miles on mine.

 

i would assume he was taking about.....

rear seal leaking

tranny problems with the reflash

wire chaffing

radiator hoses busting open

idling very rough

klunking sound in the front end

fuel in the oil

injectors flaking out

the great mileage


i'm sure there's more. that's all of the problems i've heard of that i can think of in the last 30 seconds.

 

Those Mopar guys are out there...especially since the Cummings is now rated at 325hp and 600 foot pounds of torque. Ford needs to answer and answer BIG. But at the same time...doing it right!

 

Thems fighting words!

 

i think it's spelled cummins.

 

Hay you guy's

Don't worry About that new engine in the dodge ram, It seems that thy can't get the torque to the ground with the tranny, and thy are having some program problems with the engine already

Check out some Cummings 600 forums.

Besides that I would rather be stroked than ramed

 

Who gives a $#!%.
From reading through his posts, Shendren is always looking for something to run down a Ford.
My F250 runs great and does everything I bought it for.
I have more comfort and nearly as much room in the back of my supercab as my nephew has in his 2004 Dodge Quad Cab. The jury is still out on the longevity of his 6 speed behind the Cummins.

 

Dont quite understand the post. Are you offended he asked? You listed known problems right below that so I assume you and he were on the same page. Does your 04 have any of the problems listed?

 

1. rear seal leaking

Re: hasn't happened in 11000 miles

2. tranny problems with the reflash

Re: no reflash tranny shifts better than my sixty year old mothers Lincoln

3. wire chaffing

Re: hasn't happened in 11000 miles

4. radiator hoses busting open

Re: hasn't happened in 11000 miles

5. idling very rough

6. klunking sound in the front end

7. fuel in the oil

8. injectors flaking out

Re: hasn't happened in 11000 miles

9. the great mileage

Re: 17.6 average hand calculated

I noticed you have an 04. Can you honestly say this has all happened to yours? If so, I'd take it back as a lemon.

BE

 

Wouldn't know. Haven't had any problems like that with mine.

Only problem with mine is I can't find enough excuses to drive it. I have enjoyed this truck as much as any I've had.

 

May I??

YOU BET!! 20mpg (hand calculated through several tankfulls)

Actually, I like all the brands of cars and trucks, there is something neat in every one of them, and on that same note, there is something that goes wrong with each one of them as well. I just like Fords best, I look at 'em all, then I buy the FORD.

 

My repl y to this is:

ALL OF THEM NOPE AND HAS FACTORY FLASH and 19 MPG

 

nice to hear some of you are having decent luck with your rigs. i was assuming he was talking about what i what i am experiencing and reading about here on this forum.

colorado-native.......i own a ford. not looking to run down my $40k truck. just feel like the cummins has it beat since i have owned both brands. have you owned a cummins and a psd? probably not.......

 

shendren - exactly what I thought.
I just got caught up in the moment, I meant it to be directed at the Dodge guy, not anything else.
