I have had only one minor problem with my truck that was taken care of under warranty.

It does sound awesome though, no complaints about that. I really like the cat removed. It sounds like a jet sitting on the tarmac and then in the morning when it is idling and revs to 1000rpm it sounds like a jet taxiing. It sounds mean as hell now that the truck is running the Ultra Comp tune by Spartan. Not real loud stock or moderate throttle though. Can't even hear just cruising down the interstate.

I had a 5.4 in my 2000 f150 and it just didnt have the power. There is definately more involved in owning a diesel but I dont think I could go back to a gas truck.
