enough already! UA,i mean np. for several months i have seen your post on both the tdr and the diesel stop. i have never said a word about your trolling,and trying to start b. s. . seems all that time you spend on the diesel stop,might just show you really have a keen interest in ford trucks. get over it and go buy one! you might find it to be the best money you ever spent. all three of my fords have lived a hard life,and treated me very well. i cant say the same for the past dodges i have owned,perhaps my 05 well have a better track record than the last two.

Ha! I would own another Ford, but it won't be a diesel! Ford trucks themselves are ok, I have never flamed the Ford part, just the Navistar part. I owned an F-250 6. 9 and if I could have found a slightly newer 1st gen Dodge I would have had one of those instead. Problem was, the Dodges kept their value and the POS 6. 9 didn't, so I bought it cheap, then it fell apart.



And as for Georgie Boy over on TDS, he and I have had our quarrels. At least here I can post something, truth or opinion, and not have it deleted like the TDS Nazi-moderators do.



And when you show me a 1000 HP 7. 3 or 6. 0, or even a 6. 4, please let me know! I have already seen a 1000 HP Cummins!

np,the resale value is going to be lower on a ford 6. 9 because the engine was dropped[redesigned]two years before the dodge cummins hit the market. naturally a equally equipped,same condition, competetors truck that is two years newer,will fetch a little better price. also, many people buy older dodges with cummins engines in them simply to get the engine for repower projects in equipment,many times its cheaper to do this than to buy a used engine at a salvage yard,and not even hear it run. the same applies for powerstroke engines. as for 1000hp engines ,i could care less which if any of the big threes engines could hit that mark. i have not seen a 1000hp commonrail cummins yet,but that didnt stop me from buying one a month ago. i will say this,wether it be 1/4 mile raceing or top end highway raceing empty or loaded,if i want tops in stock performance without mods,i would have bought a new powerstroke. [ask me how i know]. instead i chose the more reliable cummins over the new 6. 0 ford. if the 7. 3 was still on the table,the possibility of adding another ford to my fleet would have been a very good one. the more i learned about 7. 3 powerstrokes the more i loved them! the more i learned about 6. 0 engines, the more i figured it was time to give dodge another try...
