Not even a descent crewcab either. If I was in charge of Dodge trucks I could do alot better then those clowns. It looks like to me they dont take there truck business very seriously. Chevy I wont even go there. There just an expensive truck thats built cheap. Not made to take any kind of abuse period.

"The purpose of this forum is to make intelligent comparisons of other makes against ford. They don't have to be in favor of Ford but they must be reasonable in any matter or direction."
That last comment of mine was illogical. I'm sorry, I will refrain from that in the future. I merely meant that the Ford has a powerful brand name; and it's for a reason. They earned it by making darn good cars and trucks.

I am also a member of other forums, but the debates are better on here and I like the overall setup on FTE better to
. I post because I like to feel included even if I don't contribute alot of technical knowledge.

Try pickuptruck.com. This website is about a lot more than the Ford vs The Competition forum. That's what the webmaster and Tim are saying. It's also about more than trucks in general, it's about Ford trucks. Contribute to FTE in general or don't participate at all. This forum isn't the place to start trouble or bash other brands.
On one side note, this forum is for technical comparison only. If you don't have the knowledge a lot of the time, as you state, then you shouldn't be posting anyway.

You are ONLY "defending" other brands and not contributing to the main forums on FTE. That was their gripe.
I've said my $.02 and tried to clarify it for you, now you can take the comments and do with them as you wish. Once the webmaster calls you out it's time to shape up or ship out.

That doesn't sound very technical to me. More like brand bashing by nationality. The only thing I'VE been doing is defending other brands.
You took those out of context. He was just joking around. He provided more useful and factual info than anyone else here. Plus the fact that he's an engineer is grounds enough for his numbers.

The problem wasnt about humor. But of self restraint.

This is the last time.......get this back on track.....a copy of the FIRST post.
OK guys, you want to talk PSD vs Cummins, post here. Let's keep this thread on the subject and let the "other" thread die. It has nothing to do with this comparison.
Let's keep this debate civil. Facts only please, not emotional or inflammatory posts. If you can't do this, don't post in this thread (it is actually in the guidelines for this forum anyway).
Maybe someone could start by posting the technical specifications for both engines.
