That's a big switch! From a 4.6 1/2 ton to a 1 ton diesel. I would hope that thing pulls.
Enjoy your ride.

Dodge has a great powertrain (if it's a manual transmission), but everything else just aint up to par.
Good luck with it!

U really cant compare a 4.6 Ford to a deisal dodge, thats like racing a mustang against a chevette, Ford powerstroke deisal is a very good motor, compare that against the dodge diesal and see what u come up with.

Nightrain, is there a reason you went with the dodge over the powerstroke 6.4L, Ive got the 2006 6.0L F550 service and a 6,000lb crane body..and it hauls 19,000lbs 24/7..hard to beat..44,000 mls no probs..I just wish it was mine with a hideaway 5th wheel setup

I'll never buy another first yr Ford product. I've been burned with a 97 F150 & a 95 F250 PSD. Both had too many problems due to poor quality control or rushing them on the market. I don't know which one causes it. If I buy a diesel next it will be a Dodge. I've had just as good or better reliability with my Dodge trucks as my Ford ones.

the 6.4 is harder on diesel and it was more money. the dodge sounds like a gas not like a gaser with no oil in it. and the dodge was a better price. most of the ford go to or come from the oil rig pigs and i dont want anything i had.. i get the 35 put on on weds i`l post a pic.this 6.7l dodge seems to be great already
