I hope your new Ford treats you right for years to come. Your experience with Dodge sure cooled my jets on that brand for a future truck. Guess I'll keep my old Ford 7.3. I have to heal up from buying a new tractor anyway.
I think it's the roll of the dice..
That was the first problematic Dodge I've had. But I felt lucky to get out from under it.
We have a 2015 3/4ton 4x4 Ram diesel that's as good a truck as you could ask for. Hell, it gets over 22mpg in mixed driving. Wouldn't trade it for anything!
