:-X19 Snipped from a truck trend article: If you plan on hauling any kind of a load on a regular basis, you'll want the 6.8 or the 7.3. The bottom line regarding Ford is that all its engines are the weakest of the three makes. Gas & Diesel Ford Engines & TurboDiesels - Truck Trend (http://www.trucktrend.com/features/tech/163_0210_diesel_vs_gas/ford_engines.html) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seriously....how does someone get away with making statements like that? I'm not going to say ford is the best, and everyone else sucks and should go die......but this is a little over the top. :-arrgh

I don't know Parkland, maybe they should have put up the stats on all the big three's engines for comparison for that time, those years.

I think maybe I got excited thinking they meant that ford's engines were weaker in terms of durability...maybe they just mean power ratings...

How old is that article? It sounds like that was from 2002? I sure hope they meant HP wise but they are car guys. What else would you expect?

So what?
On a quiet night you can hear a Chevy rust.
None of the doors on my 10 year old F-550 are beginning to sag.
And I don't think they ever will.
