Message: [QUOTE="WV Stud, post: 721488, member: 11557"] I will give my input on this,beings I have both. 4 years ago I wanted a diesel and always been a ford guy.Test drove 9 6.0s and not one of them ran as good as my boss's 6.0 did bone stock btw. I ended up buying a 06 dodge for 23k with 130k miles.I ended up dumping 20k on upgrades and laid down 600hp.I always felt it was reliable,it left me sitting one time when I cracked a injector from running to much pressure. Well I tore back into it and just got it running about a 2 months ago.I got tired of working on it because I chased a ghost for 4 months,I had everything tore apart.So I was running it tune free after everything was fixed and left for work one morning,and lost rail pressure,white smoke had a bad knock which was a fuel knock. I pulled it home and it sits in my drive way ready to have the head pulled again.Pretty sure I had a injector hang open. So the guy that had the really good PS when I was looking to buy a diesel says he would sell his to me.I talked big like I would in a month or so but at the same time figured he wasn't serious.He said I will sell it to you for 16,500..And I told him straight up "really? Your going to sell it that cheap,your dumb". Long story short I bought the truck Wednesday and I will be honest Cummins vs Powerstroke stock..This PS will eat it all day long..I have all of the service records,everything has been done at the dealer under warranty. It's stock with 122k miles on it crew cab XLT.I don't know about you guys but I think I got one hell of a deal...I am like the OP tho the Ford is built like a truck should be.I have had VWs built better then my Dodge. I plan to make this truck as reliable as possible because I am so scared of the stories I have heard.I have no clue about how these motors and gadgets work,but I started in the same boat with the Dodge.
