Hemi Update
Some may remember me, for those who don't I was asked to give an update periodically on the Dodge I traded in the brand new 2004 F-150 Super Crew for, (the one that was in for repairs eight times in less then two months). The Dodge has 32,000 miles now & the only problem so far was a dead battery shorty after I bought it. The dealer put in a new battery & away I went. So far the Dodge has treated me well. Good luck to all from from a former hard core Ford man!

Can you give us some more details. Do you like the truck? If so why? Do you find it to have more room than the Ford? What about the power? Are enjoying running down the roads out running every Ford you see? I see that the Ford had 7 times the trouble your Dodge did. Did the Ford Dealer Fix all of the problems before you traded it off? Would you ever consider buying another Ford?

Old post'S, as in years ago. The Dodge rides rough & has is a little loud inside. Other then that I like it. The F- 150 was alot nicer to drive (when it was running). I use the truck for work, the loaner was a Ford Focus, not much of a truck! At the time I was having problems, my truck would go in & out of "limp mode" The factory was "working on a fix" & they wanted me to drive in limp mode until they found a fix. I found my own fix, I got rid of the truck.

It just seems to me the this thread would be a better fit for the Ford Vs forum. That's all... I was not offended by what he was saying, nor do I think he was Ford bashing....
