2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission I tried to NOT grin !!

[JimKing]

My neighbor, newly transplanted from New York, bought a new F-350 SD last Thursday. Delivered it and him to the Ford dealer today. 438 miles and the transmission locked up. Dealer said it was from a "poorly assembled batch of transmissions" and it will take 2 weeks to get it replaced. Darn shame He would have bought a Dodge, but the "seats just didn't feel good" and the salesman told him that the Cummins was 1960's technology. . Better keep the car hauler handy. :-laf :-laf

Well... ... ... here's the other side of that story... .



Friend of mine has an 2004 F350 SD with the 6. 0l PowerStroke. I followed him on I70 westbound out of Denver last fall. I was towing a Jeep Cherokee on a heavy flatbed, he was towing his Cherokee in an enclosed trailer (and definitely heavier than I was).



I couldn't keep up. He was easily maintaining 65 mph on a 10% uphill grade.

And you wont have to worry about keeping up with the furd.

Its kind of funny that your 6 year old truck would not keep up with his new truck. He has like 50 hp and 100 fl/lbs on you just stock to stock.

sounds fammiliar. at times the furd guys at work harrass me about how if our trucks were stock his would beat me. (1996 vs 2001 7. 3)

he's still claiming his truck stock can beat my truck bombed in the 1/4 mile. :-laf
