I am a member on CF as well and haven't heard of any issues. I own a 11' 2500 6.7L with H&S Mini Maxx, 5" turbo back, intake and it is always running on "Hot"..........it hasn't skipped a beat.

i own a 2010 dodge 3500. i love the new style and interior much improved over the older ones... I have 28000 miles towing a toy hauler and my boat no issues what so ever. all the egr/emission crap is where alot of the issues come from and they all have em. just by the one YOU like and you'll be fine IMO.

Opinions in the HD or SD Truck arena are like A$$holes ... everyone has one. An endless supply :) Everyone knows someone that had an issue once with something and it's time to Henny Penny the whole fleet.

Truth is as stated by others; if you are buying into one of the big three you wont go to wrong. It is a very close market space and for some reason the competion is huge. Look at the HP and Torque #'s this year ...... 400HP and 800 ft. lbs. They are always pretty close to each other.

I own a 2011 F250 SD with the new 6.7 Diesel in it. Love it, great truck. The GM and the Dodge are also nice and very capable. Two key points or suggestions; properly match what you will be towing to the capabilities of the truck., i.e you dont need an f450 to pull 10K. The costs to operate will be higher as will the licensing fees and inspections required. Last point .... whatever you buy do not own any current diesel truck without an extended warranty plan. Enjoy whatever you get!
