From Dodge to Ford
I have a 04.5 Dodge 3500 quad cab 4x4 Diesel with 60,000 and like it but I need more cab room. My son’s foot in the back of my seat is not working anymore. I was looking for a Dodge with a Mega Cab but I love the Ford Trucks but I am worried about the Diesel. <o></o><o></o>
I looked at a 2010 F350 Lariat <nobr style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; color: darkgreen;" id="itxt_nobr_2_0">4x4
</nobr> and the sticker is $55,000 with manager's special (whatever) $10,000 off the top and quick price of around $42-43,000 out the door.<o></o>
<o></o>
I run my trucks stock but even that with Ford changing motors every other year. Ford diesels make me nervous. <o></o>
Thanks for help.

motors had to change because of emissions 6.0 to 6.4, then they terminated the contract with navistar.
That doesn't make the 6.0 or 6.4 bad motors, actually they are pretty decent your only issue really is mpg's because of the newer emissions. This is effecting all of the big three just like it did cars in the 70's. Eventually it will be perfected.
Even still you can get some decent mpg's and power.
I would not hesitate on a purchase right now all at and the Ford Crew Cab is so much better than the Dodge, even the ride and quality will be apprieciated by all.

the fords are definatly nicer trucks to drive and much, much more room but i kept my dodge..and it comes in handy, my ford went in for repair on Jan 4 and got it back Jan 22
it was nothing for my 6.0 to go in for repairs 10-25 days some months thats one main reason i sold it and got the 6.4..... i hope the bug are soon out of my 6.4

Why do i need a new dealer 69j? please do tell....this reply of yours makes you look so inteligent...
did my current dealer cause bedplate leak, warped heads, injector failure, multiple ficm failures, etc etc which are well known problems with the 6.0......
or wait..
did my current dealer cause, failed battery, front seals, rear diff clutches, multiple trim issues, power mirror failure, hyper extended thermostat, EGR valve failure, (2) radiator failures, venturi T, A/C acumilator thump, navigation failure,
give me a brake pal if your going to post a response at least make it intellegent or at least back it up!!
"I think you need a new dealer" isnt even worth a post, although if you are trying to **** me off you reached your goal.

I had the bedplate leak and had the truck back in 3 days. Not saying you havn't had troubles but your dealer shouldn't be taking that long. No offense but I think you need to go back to bed and get up on the other side. And by the way I did not hang that lame sign there.

What im sayin if you read what i wrote a couple of times and listen to what i wrote the message is..... everybodys situation is different my bedplate leak caused the shortblock to warped along with the heads..etc. so it was a complete engine job
along with all the other problems.. its not a dealer problem not a 3 day job pal.
BTW why dont you take a nap or what ever you need to do so you can make an intelligent post that doesnt make you sound like a un informed 5 year old... you make no sense 69j at all!!
oh do you own a 6.4 or just trolling all boards putting up worthless posts to get your count up..... once again you reached your goal.
