I'm going to go out on a limb and say 90% of us are running GM motors. Blocks, etc. why would you go with ford. Most of my work trucks were fords because I bought them used and there resale value was low. Why is it low? Huh. That's because ford sucks. Before anyone gets there arss up. Remember I did buy them lol. But that's because I was broke and building a business . Now it GM or nothing

Ironically it is my two GM blocks that are in 25,000 pieces in the garage while my f350 is calmly cranking out 650hp and 1200 ftlbs and always gets the nod over my wife's tahoe if we are traveling!!!!

I disagree, first of all they all have issues... that being said I have always had extremely high mile Fords...including my 320,000 mile 2006 6.0, the truck is in great shape, all around, the interior alone withstands mileage by far better then GM and Dodge... I still cant get past GM using 1/2 ton tie rods on a HEAVY DUTY truck... that may have changed over last couple years I dont know....

I have had 4 super dutys all in 300-400,00 mile range that have been GREAT TRUCKS I dont see anyone bragging about high miles Gm out there win great shape... if at all.

Sounds like you have diesels . I truck is nothing like a boat . A boat is like driving up hill with a huge load on it. All day , every day. I didn't say that fords were junk. It's just that the same **** on them brake like clock work. And the bottom ends of the gas motors suck. If ford and Chevy merged it would make a great motor. Chevy bottom end and ford top ends. I have 150k on my 2500hd duramax and only changed brakes and one wheel bearing. It's a 2001 truck also

I thought the thread was about a truck??? lol

I disagree Ford bottom ends are junk, all I have ever owned is Ford, many of them... no complaints...

It really didn't matter what we like or don't like. Because if it's broken we will fix it otherwise we are not getting the boat to the water lol
