Alrighty YUNT2 Here we Go!!! ;D
POWERSTROKE NEED I SAY MORE
REAL TRUCKS DON'T NEED SPARK PLUGS [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif] by the way it is spelled Diesel [smiley=lecture.gif] I Dread reading the name each time I see the Cost in a the Gas station. wont have it any other way though
[smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]
Yessiree.......pretty much all you see at the auction yards for towing..................and on the roads pulling 5th wheelers.....................and pulling our playtoy/camper setup......... [smiley=Smile.gif]
ford Deisel all the way. ;D
Yunt2, I'm gonna have to join Chuck in bustin your balls.
The only way to go is POWER STROKE!!
I have only owned 2 trucks.
a Nissan pick up and a Chevy Avalanche. They don't compare so I can only speak for the one that comes close to what you are asking about. The Avalanche is a great truck. It does everything I could want. 4 doors, bed, full size and plenty of power and comfort. Never had a problem with it.
Love my Hemi! :D
Ok thank you Thrash I must know your history !!! HEMIHEMIHEMI. I just don't know how well its doing in a truck. I saw a sport track with nothing but pulleys spank a HEMI ram. I must say i was a lil upset. And the ram had exhuast. But that you guys for your input it really appreceiated keep it coming. Hope you enjoy the post !
Stroker nothin but the good stuff. Chuck im with you, im even wearin one of my ford hats now :P
Here is a bash on the Dodge boys and if you have one dont take it personal it is directed at"what were they thinking catagory". Take the Dodge SRT10 it is portrayed in a commercial to be blowing the doors off all of the competition..
Lets look and the Truth about trucks. The SRT10 Nice Ride and Nice price tag. nearly $47,000 When the FORD Lightning came out $29,000 and you had a hoss of a sport truck. add about 2 grand in mods and nothing could touch you on the street. Even the VETTE owners were yelling FOUL!!
This is a pretty general question because in depends on your use of the truck. Personally I drive a Ford but I chose Toyota in this poll. Not because I dont like Ford...I'd drive a stroke if I could afford it...lol....but I owned a Tacoma for a little while and that was the best all around truck I couldve asked for. They are especially good in the mud. That 22r is hard to kill. I doubt I'll have any support......but this is my opinion so who cares right? ;D And Cummins is the better engine.
Oh yeah the Fords look better haha. ;D I'm all over the place with the post but you get the idea!!
Powerstroke all the way !!! [smiley=drive.gif] [smiley=trophy1.gif]
i go with ford
yunt, are you out there?
You know what I am going to pick, do I need to say anymore than POWER STROKE, Thats my opinion (sp) and I am sticking to it. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]
Quoteyunt, are you out there?
I think hes scared look at the results [smiley=box.gif]
The Grizz's say ford at the way. (Diesel)
Sorry City boys that dodge wont make River Ranch. LOL
Grizz
Its called powerSMOKE diesel
I chose Chevy gas because I think so many people buy diesels to ride up and down the road or for status quo and never haul anything. I V8 chevy gas will get 19mpg on the highway and pull a lot of the stuff that people buy diesels for. People buy them to pull a small trailer or their jon boat. Have fun paying $2.50 a gallon when you fill up. Its an initial $6,000 more money, service jobs are 2 to 3 times more, and god forbid if something happens to it, you will need to take out another loan just to fix it. HEHE
just traded weak gas 5.4- 250 for new power stroke250.When puling a trailer the 5.4 gas couldnt handle it. the transmission always shifted up and down. The new power stroke purrs. T ;Dhe transmission never has to shift to compansate for power.POWERSTROKE ALL THE WAY.
powerstroke for life

THe 22r is a great engine , the only thing I seen go wrond was an occasional head gasket and the timing covers get hacked through by the chain around 150k

Lets see that v8 pull my dozer that I pull 3 times a week. It is a small dozer but with the trailer it is just under 17,000 lbs. That v8 could not do that for long. You can get twice the mileage out of the diesel than most gas engines. I have a diesel with 690,000+ miles on it. Try and get that from a gas without rebuilding it. Powerstroke all the way.
im a chevy man all the way but when it comes to diesel id only have a ford, now older ill stick to the bowtie but if i were to buy new id buy ford
My old chevy gas motor: first.....motor 89,000 miles
second motor 56,000 miles
The Grizz likes diesel motors

I guess what I should have said was, so many people buy them and never pull more than what a gas engine will pull, or for status quo. I have seen many, and I mean many gas engines with 300,000 miles one them and never a wrench on them other then maintanence. But how many people do you see that buy and keep a vehicle for over 100,000 before they want something new. Not very many.

SO your dads truck has the v10 and not the power stroke diesel. There is a difference, between the two. The power stroke has the diesel engine,and the regular F250 has gas engine.From what I am understanding your dad has the v10 which is gas still a ford so thats all that matters. ;)
Well as far as keeping a gas truck over 100,000 Chuck Norris's 1994 F-150 has almost 160,000 and he has no intentions of getting rid of it and not much more than tires and battery have been done to it. And as far as my F-250 powerstroke I am getting an average of 17.4 mtg which I think isn't too bad and diesal around here is only about $2.06 to $2.20 depending on where you buy it. So I guess my vote is for my Powerstroke. I love my Truck. ;D
Had to trade my truck in on a 4-door when we had kids, but Ford makes the real trucks.
Ford all the way
I never had a ford,I have a 94 GMC now with 140,700 on it still runs great,but I have been thinking about getting a ford when the gmc dies.
QuoteI never had a ford,I have a 94 GMC now with 140,700 on it still runs great,but I have been thinking about getting a ford when the gmc dies.
You will own that one forever then. It will never die.
We had a 2003 Chevy Silverado cab and a half 2wd Gas. It got good gas mileage but couldn't pull itself out of a wet paper bag! So we traded it for a 2002 Ford F250 4x4 Gas the MPG not too bad gets about the same as our friends diesel but Electronically I would take a VW bug over my ford.Been in the shop more than I've had it and needs to go back again for the Power Door locks. Never by from Thurston's Used Auto Center! Ron Thurston is a nice guy but his vehicles suck! I have had my F250 for 8 months and been in the shop 7 times
Not that I dont like my truck,I love it,I've had it 10 years now,just put new starter on saturday.It has never let me down.Just glad starter went out in my driveway. I thought I would try somthing different,but maybe not.My in-laws all have fords.
QuotePowerstroke all the way !!! [smiley=drive.gif] [smiley=trophy1.gif]
lemme see if I know my tracks...that's Atlanta isn't it?
I gotta go Dodge. I have one, I love it. It's the best looking truck out there with the most room in the inside. Having said that, I'll also make sure to point out that I paid the extra for the extended warranty. ;D
I do not know what track that is, I got the pic off of yahoo images.
sorry to say it but chevy's just cant beat a EXCURSION WITH A 7.3 & A BANKS 6 GUN !!!!! MINE WILL PULL A HOUSE & STILL GET 13 MILES TO A GALLON

Highlander-
If its a V-10 and Unleaded gas, it is not a Powerstroke. That being said...
DURAMAX!!!!!

love mine too, power (HEMI!), style, roomy, and just plain bad to the bone! just turned 20k on my 04 and only thing i put it in the shop for was for a missing center cap on one of my wheels.
no extended warranty.
Come on guys, the only true, real diesel is a Cummins. Now if you had a Cummins inside of a F-250,350 then we would all have a great truck. IMO

Dodge all the way

I am a Chevy man all the way. All you guys with the big Fords I will see your trucks in the tranny shop. The older Dodges will be right behind them ;)
For those of you interested, there's a new magazine on the market "Diesel Power Magazine." March was the first issue. They have a web site: http://www.dieselpowermag.com
In the first issue they do a shoutout between the big 3 diesels.

Duramax w/ the allison tranny = you can have a conversation while driving and it will pull anything you want..... ;D
No contest! Ford truck sales are 3 times the competitors even with their sales slipping. Other trucks are fine also. We need something to make fun of!
QuoteDuramax w/ the allison tranny = you can have a conversation while driving and it will pull anything you want..... ;D
I beg to differ and I have video footage to prove it. VHS tape I'll send you a copy. video display's the big 3 in a pull off. pulling a 10,000 pound trailer. Ford cam in first Chevy in Second and Dodge well lets just say they at least finished.
