Not sure if it plays on the 'puter, may depend on the windows version you run. On my plasma, that DVD played kinda blurry, cause of the wide screen function. We'll figure it out. My son's the best on this stuff. BTW, give me a buzz soon, time for a bite and a pop!:drink:

Re: Pull Rig Poll

Re: Pull Rig Poll

Re: Pull Rig Poll
 

I have had GREAT luck so far with my 02 F-350 with 7.3 PSD.

But I do not like what I hear and read about the 6.0. Just had a customer in last week with an 05 King Ranch F250 that is having SURGE problems and has had it to the same dealer I use twice now. Some good ones, but still some problems. A buddy in Florida has had the turbo replaced and two head gaskets on his 04 model 6.0 PSD.

An International dealer told me that Ford came to them and told them to design a new motor that is more powerful and lighter in weight than the 7.3, and cheaper. I do not know this to be true, but he seemed to know what he was talking about. He said that all the interal components were weaker than used on the 7.3. He also said that UPS tested the 6.0 and said "NO".

If I were buying new today it would be the Duramax.

The perfect truck to me would be the Ford chassis, with the Dodge Cummins engine, with the Allison Trany.

As you can see they all have their strengths in my book.

I hope Ford gets it right with the 100% complete and total redesign they plan for I think 2007!

I won't be trading before then anyway.

Good Luck

I am totally bias so my thoughts probably mean sh!t. I own an 01 F350 Dually although I have the gas V10. I just drove to New York from Chicago and pulled back my new 30ft Scarab and it was 80mph all the way home for 780 miles, not a whimper, nothing. I Love my Fords and wouldnt buy anything else. But thats just me. A chevy or Dodge in my driveway HAAAAAA, aint gonna happen jack. I think you Dodge lovers should write a thank you letter to Lee Ioccoa for saving dodges a22 in the 80's :drink: :drink: :drink:

Some rumors I've heard about Ford and Cummins, could be urban legend?
I dont know if any of these are true, they are just things I remember hearing in conversation.
Ford owns a controlling share in Cummins........
Ford has been rumored to be putting the Cummins into their light duty trucks but is afraid to allienate Powerstroke loyalists........
Ford/Cummins would not let Doge build a crew cab as long as they wanted to use a Cummins so that it would have the market advantage in these types of trucks.......
Thats why the new four door Dodge is small compared to the interior of a Ford. Its basically an extra cab with two small doors........
Dodge has been rumored to be working on a Mercedes diesel to put into their trucks so that they would no longer have any restrictions or ties to Ford/Cummins but are also afraid to allienate Cummins loyalists.......


I also heard from a close friend of mine that went to Diesel Tech school that the parts in a Cummins make anything that Ford or Gm have in their motors look like toys. They are hands down bigger, stronger and better built. That doesn't mean they are faster, have more hp, tow better or any of that crap, but its a known fact that they are built more from a platform of heavy duty diesel motors than from automobile engines like the other two manufactuers.
