Help!My Brother-in-law crossing to the other side....Ford!

[txwingrider]

Hi everyone,

My whole family owns and drives Dodge CTD trucks and we have all had GREAT luck with them. However my brother-in-law and sister are planning on buying a 04 Ford Power stroke as soon as they can sell their 98 Dodge CTD. It is a SAD day here in America O'well, it will make our family gatherings rather interesting when we all get together to pull our 5th wheel RV's. BTW... Can someone give me the web address that is for Ford owners as for what we have... . "TDR" ?

Thanks for letting me share this sad moment with you all Cliff

Yeah, how much for the truck huh? is it a 12? huh?

 

[txwingrider]

Yup! IT's a 12 with Banks added ~~ Nice silver truck with exhaust & set up for pulling 5th wheel

 

[WadePatton]

And how do we go about buying it?

I suspect someone here will snap up his 12 valve real quick - if you're close to TurboSandman (I think??) he's looking for one since his was totalled by fire...



BUT - have him read all of the 6. 0 forums previously mentioned here, it may change his mind.



For MORE $$$$, he will get a problem-plagued diesel that has a powerband like a gasser. If he's doing it for the "full crew cab", I've had full sized adults in the back seat of mine, and the only comment has been "wow, this has a lot of room... "



Even if he does go to the dark side, he will be back. After 2 troublesome Exploders she "loved", my sister admitted she was sick of the constant repairs and bought a Jeep!
