Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I finally talked my die hard Ford buddy into buying a new Cummins powered 3500. He was on his second set of brakes on his crew cab dually F-350 and had 38,000 miles. Ford said "we are terribly sorry about your bad luck. You are 2,000 miles over your warranty. " They then quoted quoted him like $2,500 to replace the rotors, calipers and pads. He said no thanks and walked out. Then called me and asked what I thought and asked me how much down time a really had with mine. I told hime, you have seen my truck every day since I have bought it. It now has 95,000 miles on it. It has never seen the inside of the dealers garage. His next question was," where can I look at some dually's?" I sent him to a dealer about 50 miles away that had ten. I get the call 1-1/2 hours later. He is the proud new owner of a 2003 SLT longbed 4X4 3500 dually. I was so proud. This guy was die hard, I never thought I would break through to him!. And he admits that he loves it already.

). Well, after he drove it I think he started thinking more and more about it... he still window-shopped the PSD's, but he started looking more and more at the CTD's... Finally in July I got a call from him telling me he already had the deal made, but wanted to make sure I thought the '03's were ok before he signed the papers... . Now he rolls around in a sweet '03 2500 CTD that is stock for now... he's more into the looks then the power, so a 6" lift is in the works and probably just an EZ... any way he goes he'll be ****tin' diamonds so it's really a mute point.
