Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) I will compare the two

[diesel DOG]

I will be picking up a new Excusion Power Joke this morning wish me luck. I never drove one, the test ride was in a gasser. :--)

 

[Truckie]

OK I will wish you luck, but I am also taking you to the head shrink to have you head examined to see why you are wasting you money on a power joke.

You may also want to put on your fire proof pants for posting this.

He did not say he was trading in his truck, and he did refer to it as a power joke. I doubt that he is crossing over. He is "Picking up" a product that is not offered by Dodge with the cummins.

Needs to get in touch with www.fordcummins.com when he starts having trouble. Hopefully he won't though.

Who else makes a battle wagon this size? This way people who want to go to the Pocono's for a ride in the Corvette when I race can jump in and I have more room for gear.



Still love my Cummins and Dodge. I do like the Ford body just not real confident on the drive train. 1-800-FERD-HELP:{



Leaving now to get it. Oo.

However...





On Truckie's side, you should know better than to get a 6. 0. If it is, I'll say it now... WE TOLD YOU SO! Talk about the long shot $40,000 bet.



I hope it is a low miles used late model 7. 3.

04/6. 0 it was 53 you may see me at the Ford dealership on TV with everyone hostage :-{} in a month. I was at dieselstop.com and TDR is way freindly and more informative.



The last Ford I had was 89 F-450 diesel and it never started correctly I always had to cycle crank then repeat. I spent 4 weeks or more at dealers with all tyes of things being done. It always started but it was to say the least. It also had 4 transmissions in 100,000 miles I had it. I only paid for one.

The 6. 0 looks like it was really packed in there. She just came back with the check and I'm out the door.

 

[Sticks]

Well, as an 04, you should get one with most of the bugs worked out. Proper ECM, good injectors and such. I wish you luck buddy!

don't worry dieseldog

you'll luv it ... my wife had a gas Limited and it was perfect for 50k ... she just got tired of hauling everyone else and trying to park that pig in a crowded VA hospital parking lot ... she just showed up one day with a loaded '03 cummins and has been all ever since ...

I did 150 miles and it is nice and computer said 19. 8 with mostly highway. I still like to drive the Dodge dually better no body roll. She will like it. I just jumped back in the Grand Cherokee and drove it home it seemed so small and quick. That Jeep has mega body roll and is scary. Other than that it is good in snow and fast. I miss the engine noise of the Cummins. I don't even put the radio on most of the times it puts me in a trans. Time will tell. After a 500 miles I'll have a drag race Thanks Guys!

Now if GM would sell 3/4 ton Suburbans and Yukon XLs with the new LLY (310/590 Duramax) I'd be buying the wife a new ride. .
