My moms cousin has a 2004 and hasnt put it in the shop once yet, he tows about once or twice ever week so i would consider it a pretty good truck.

my dad has a powerstroke, but it has a lot of performance parts on it. so its kind of a different comparison

I owned a DMax/Allison 1T Crewcab and ran the heck outta it. 230K miles with lots of heavy towing on it. Never stumbled except for a fuel lift pump, which happened pretty early and was replaced under warranty. I keep tellin' bro-in-law to get one for his hauling and I think he's finally coming around. This is his second F350 and both have not done him well at all. His '97 Tahoe, though, has almost 280K miles on it and just keeps puttin along. You'd think he'd learn from his own experience!

haha that reminds me of a picture its a ford symbol and under it it says "oh look, they even circled the problem"

the onl ford ill ever look at has to have a cummins dieasel, otherwise its not worth it, u could put a cummins in a geo trecker(i know a super sleeper) and it would domintae anything

point of this if it has a cummins, no matter how bad the name is it is an amazing vechile

Does their truck fall under the recent recall for that same kind of problem????? theers some sensor on them that has been found to be bad where the truck just shuts off with NO warning!! Have them check into that with their local ( FAILED ON RACE DAY ) dealer LOLOL they can run the vin # to check to see if it needs that recall...
