The engine is made in the USA!

How far can you take this? Ford/Mazda.. did you forget so fast? Dodge/mitsubishi. How about the bosch injectors in every American gas engine, oh wait.. they certainly shouldn't have the French owned BFG tires!!

As far as i like its still a free county. When I hear Ricesubishi makes me think Zero, Pearl Harbor, Injectors are a little different than complete engine. I can live with a little. And i buy Goodyear. Dont have an izsuz in my trucks do you.

Nope, I have a Dmax. About 20 years ago a Peral Harbor veteran pulled up to the boat dock in his new Lexus with his Pearl Harbor Verteran license plate. He never saw the irony of it until I asked him about it.

No, right now I have an international t-444E in my truck. After this winter I'll be driving the duramax.

It is a free country and you have your opinion.

I can't understand that line of thinking anymore myself though, everything is so globalized that it doesn't matter. Half of the Ford trucks are made in mexico.

T-444E is the ford powerstroke 7.3l.

I can't find it, just spent a half hour searching. There was an article about a hotshot hauling company that was only hiring chevys to minimize the down time from ford problems.

If your on the highway you can also verify this by looking. Look at all the car haulers and hotshot guys, more and more are chevys.

Off topic, but I lost a brake caliper bolt on my ford on a Sunday with nothing open. My buddy came and towed me home with, you guessed it, a chevy. I should have taken pics

Yeah, well I've towed 2 Freightliners loaded to 80k up a couple of iced over roads in Raleigh, NC....I wish I had pics for the pickle smoochers!
