The Dmax is much more dependable than any 6.0 out there >> ask around and get more opinions than those of a few Ford biased individuals. A diesel truck is expensive >> spend wisely!
I could hardly find a used Dmax when I was looking to replace my 6.0, but almost every dealership had a 6.0 that was close to warranty expiration (do you get any hints from this as to which is better!).

I have heard guys always talk about the chev front ends being weak too, but really dont know much about them.
Ive driven a couple of them, and they were OK, not impressive, but not unimpressive.

I don't have much experiance with the duramax, we have a 08 powerstroke, and a 08 duramax, so far they both have been hiccup free.
If I do decied to go with a diesel it will be the 6.4l. Not to sure what will happen, my wife and I have been talking about moving back home and if that does happen it will change my driving habits and what I can afford.

Ya, we are thinking of moving back to Saskatoon area, maybe in spring, but we don't know foresure yet!
We are coming home this weekend for my wife's grandparents 90th birthday, so I'm hopeing to get to Merlin and take a V10 for a spin to see what they are like. I hope they still have that one I saw in stock,

The V10s have lots of power, have one at work and I think it has more power than our 6.4s, before the chip.

Thanks for the tip Sherm!
I took a new F350 supercrew 4X4 V10 for a spin from Merlin on Saturday. I loved the truck, the power was a little deciving. The engine is so smooth it didn't feel as fast as what it really is. I was driving down the highway at what felt like a normal highway speed but was actually 130k's. The salesmen said if driven at speed limit they get 16-17mpg. The computer was showing 15mpg as I was driving down the highway. I would say that it had more than my f150 5.4l and it's a much heavier truck.
Still not sure what to get for a truck if I get a different one next spring. But the V10 is now a very good posibility!!

Ive driven Ryans v10 a few times now, and its definately not short on power. To me they have alot mroe seat of the pants feel then a 5.4, and they rightfully should.
I still like a diesel though, but if I were to buy brand new, I would have a little harder time buying one right now.
I keep thinking im gonna wait and see what ford does next for their diesel.
