Friend who was engineer at Foed and now with Paccar says this is unrealistic by a long shot for anything near reality. My guess is we all understand this. His internal sources say the truck will be upper teens. He's heard of this and said these events occur often and it's very possible with the...

Hey, what if it is true? If it is total BS there are going to be some unhappy customers. As a Cummins advocate with 500k on my old 95 I have to say that it wouldn't bother me if Ford ended up building a better engine! That's great for America! A friend of mine worked at Ford for some time...

Was very happy with stock power of my new 06 (used) truck as I'm not a tire burning type. Longevity and smart application of power is my thing. Friend gave me the Edge Attitude programer in spite of knowing my conservative nature. Here's my impression based on little experience with these newer...

Thank you both. I have my first auto trans and it seems OK. Wanted the 5600 but just gave up on finding one, and the auto seems upgradeable if needed. Sounds like this chip would fit my profile nicely. Regards, Salty

While happy with stock power on my 06 3500, I keep hearing that an aftermarket chip could increase economy and power at the same time??? I am NOT a big black smoke tire burner type! Longevity and durability are my thing, not beating the other brand up a pass. I know, boring eh... Old 95 is...

It's an automatic as I was told several times by different sources that it's a decent transmission. Time will tell, but it's a nice truck with 80K and near showroom condition. What are the tricks with this year and what should i accomplish right away? Totally happy with stock power, but want to...

I read somewhere in my searches that the 4wd is really only a 3wd on these trucks. Something about the left front wheel never getting power??? I have a deposit on an 05 6 speed, but this scares me as I use 4wd heavily. What about this 6 speed? Is it durable with good clutch life? I have...

Hello, Well, after 500k my 95 12 valve is getting old. Engine is great but the truck is getting to be a pure work rig. I do NOT want the 6. 7 re-gen issues, etc so I'm thinking a later 5. 9. I'm looking for advice on best years with fewest issues. Not a big power guy, so upgrades will be...

I have 200k on WVO in my 95 12V with well over 400k total miles. No issues.

Cancell my membership! The one thing I tried to use on this site was bad. I state honest facts and get lambasted by goobers. Cancell my subscription! I want nothing to do with this cult. There is NOTHING here I cannot get elsewhere without the BULL****. Keep the $30 but cancell me. I'm done.

Let's clarify for your o-ring lickers 1. Could NOT deliver as promised. 2. Charged customer for unit anyway. 3. Credited another customer. 4. Screwed everything up that they could! 5. I aknowledged that they "may" indeed build a good unit! 6. Everything I stated was/is FACT. Ya'll...

So I tell the truth about bad service from a beloved TDR vendor and I get my *** kicked by a bunch of Kool-Aid drinkers about bashing a great vendor! Well, here's "THE REST OF THE STORY"! Not only could Standard Transmission NOT get the unit to Washington to my mechanic in the time promised...

Fair enough Yeah, I was angry and would still be very wary. The guy seemed very sincere but what bugged me was hearing the words "We have no way of knowing when it will get there because the shipment was transfered to another carrier half way". That is entirely different than "You'll have it in...

Good grief guys!! Read carefully please: I more than once alluded that I'm sure they make a great transmission, AND, are overall a good outfit! I simply shared my disappointment in them not living up to their word, and the sales person's lack of ability to give me a difinitive answer until well...

Post counts mean only one thing. Someone has been involved with a forum for a long time. To assume I'm uninformed because I haven't posted on this site is silly. Agree with the comment about that being a silly measure of worth on this forum. Probably best to just let the regulars do their...

Thanks for the replies I agree with what's been said. I'm a very loyal customer. The shop that will install the new transmission I've done business with for 12 years and sent dozens of happy customers to. The issue here, as I've repeatedly stated, is that even this so-called great company dropped...

In fairness This may just be a case of a good company that just dropped the ball with me. You'll note that I didn't mention names. I suspect their regular shipping routes do not include Washington State and their shipping team could not inform their sales rep adequately. On top of that I was /...

Everything said is accurate! Note that I said they "may" build a great unit! Probably do, and probably are overall a good supplier that just screwed up in my case. I did share my experience with a manager who was not happy to hear about it. Look, if all people want to hear is warm and...

Well, after over 400k I had my NV4500 rebuilt at a local Wa. state transmission shop... . so called experts who knew the correct NV4500 fix(s). 5 months later 5 goes and I'm stuck in reverse. Guy at shop is all about blamming the transmission and saying no fix will work. So, I ate it, walked and decided to...

Reliability is key While I am amused by moster power guys and am enough of a machinery geek to respect all that, I'm a bigger efficiency / longevity geek!! All these machines have ample power for me so the traits important to me are, quality, extreme reliabilty, enough working power without...
