I am about ready to sell the dually and am seriously considering a Diesel. I have never owned a Ford but the new ford 4X4 crew cab sure looks nice. However I prefer the interior on the Chevy's. I have spoken to the owners of both trucks and they love them both. Any opinios?
Thanks Steve

Heres a great site for Ford Diesels that I'm always on(www.thedieselstop.com)...I'm a owner of a Ford Diesel from 1988, Great truck,looks and rides like new never let me down, ever. Aside from the usual things like brakes, mufflers, and such, the integrity of the truck is still rock solid!
I've been hearing so-so things about the Duramax motors, the Alison trans is great but not enough reason to by a Chevy Diesel...at least not for me. And the look of the new Chevy with its slanted eyes look...well, I'll just leave that one alone.
As far as Dodge, I can take it or leave it, I've been in alot of them and to me they just feel cheap and problematic...And especially with what I've seen with my neighbors late model 99 Dodge truck with only 20 thousand miles its always causing him some king of Aggravation (not the motor)....but I like the idea of a inline 6 Diesel Cummins motor with less moving parts, but the truck around it isnt for me.
For the longest time I've been a Union Teamster auto hauler...so I drive everything, and as well talk to alot of dealerships and see whats being fixed or what the secret issues are with most vehicles...for a Diesel truck its Ford...hands down.
Sorry no comments about the imports from me...I'll never own ANY vehicle with a Foreign yuk name plat...even if its built in MY Country!...but thats another subject.
The above comments are just my opinions...nothing more or less.

Stoked, ya might want to hold out until Ford comes out with there new 6 liter Diesel...its also going to be used in there 04 250 trucks.
Could be something to consider...I'm pretty sure there new F250 Lariat Crew Cab 4x4 6'bed will be my new Truck.

If you're going to buy a diesel tow vehicle, you want a crew cab. Ford's have the most room, especially in the back. I'm waiting for a Ford with a Cummins and an Allison.

Last year i bought a
ford 550 and had a hauler bed made for it i pull a 48 foot trailer and it is awsome .It has plenty of power stops excellent and gets shitty mileage lol . I am a gm fan all the way but the ford diesel is the only way to go I have towed with the gm and the ford and they arent even in the same league .It smokes over the grapevine loaded where the gm ran like a snail, I am loaded with 20k lbs of trailer and gear hope this helps.

Last weekend on the way to the river me the wife and kids were going up the sunnit at about 75. Flying past was a Ford Diesel with a 25' enclosed trailer I nearly got out to see if I had stopped!
Unreal performance!!! Got home contacted Gale Banks Engineering. They really like the Ford trucks. I have driven both the Chevy and Ford they are both awsome. The more I know the more confused I feel?

I agree with Stoked ford interiors are weak and chevys have alot nice interior,But why are you buying it, for the interior or to pull some heavy shit and not worry. Chevy CAN NOT EVEN COMPARE TO A FORD DIESEL. Hands down ford all the way.

Personaly I think the new rigs are about even for styling and power. I never thought I would say that about a Chevy. Tho....I tow my boat with my Ford and ChaddyShack tows his 5th wheel with the new Chevy whenever we go "camping". We go to dinner with 5 of us big guys and we can barely sqeeze in...we go to the lake the next day in my Ford and its very comfy.... comes down to personal preference. I am waiting till 04 for the new Tonka styled Ford 450 with the 6 litre.
Good Luck, NB

Cummins in a Ford...When and where did ya here that? They've been talking about it for years and years... looking at a V8 Come-a-part was the last version I heard.
Right along the lines of a Cat in the Chevy's, but that proved to be cost prohibitive and the 3116 or even the 3126 is a nice motor, but too heavy for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck and up until recently Perkins was doing all the little motors for Cat. It may happen someday.

My new Excursion has the 6.0L diesel and the 5 speed auto. It has more HP and torque than the 7.3L Powerstroke and goes like hell. Having five gears, the power is really linear. Very quiet too, at 40 MPH and above you can't tell it's a diesel.
The engine has an exhaust brake for towing, and the tranny has a replaceable cartridge filter and a dashboard temp gauge. According to Ford the tranny is good for 250,000 miles. It looks like it, it's a big mofo.
I am doing all of my driving in town right now and according to the computer I'm getting 15.5 MPG. With the 44 gallon tank I'm buying fuel every two weeks or so.
It makes the Dodge look like stone age stuff and outpowers the Duramax. International builds the engine.

International builds the engine. They've been building the diesels for Ford since they were running the 6.9 Navistar back in the 80's, then the 7.3 Navistar (pre-Powerstroke) and I'll say they have come a long way. :D

If your going to get a Crew Cab, Ford has the biggest Cab of the three. The back seat can fit full sized adults with plenty on leg room.

I drove trucks all day yesterday. The Chevy has a smoother ride and is way quieter than the Ford. The Ford is considerably roomier but overall the Chevy has more creature comforts. On the street (not towing) the two trucks, powerwise felt very similar. I know the Fords are a great ride but, I think it's Chevy for me. The most I am going to tow is 3 quads in the bed, 224 Stoker, the wife, kids and the dog. I think I'll be fine.
Thanks for all you input

Thanks Steve

They don't make hop up parts for the Chevy like they do for the Fords. They have tryed it on the Chevy's and it just blows the bottom end right out of the motors. So if you want more power you are stuck with what you have unless you pick Ford.

Test drove the Chevy with the Duramax and Allison yesterday and it was awesome. Quiet and real fast. Motor Trend tested both 8100 Vortec and the Duramax. Zero to 60 the Duramax was only 1/10 of a second slower at 8.4 seconds. When towing, the Duramax was faster 0 to 60. I will be ordering a 2500 HD 4x4 crew cab this weekend.

first of all to all you dodge owners, bet you didnt realize those dodge trucks powered by a cummins d.i. are owned by FORD! FORDowns the rights to the cummins diesel, they also put the cummins in all their 650-up as an option.also the new FORD 6.0 diesel has been proven more powerful in speed and torque than the chevrolet duramax! i personally had the chance to test the new FORD6.0 against the isuzu duramax and was blown away by how the Ford just dusted the chevy...the dodge was still trying to get started! jawdrop

We need to change your name to the principal. idea LOL
Since you have to keep setting the record straight in so many threads,
we could tell them to just go the Principal's office for the answer. :(
A good rule of thumb is see how many of the old timer's are towing their 5th wheels and trailers with Dodge's wink argue
before Ford put in the intercooler and Chevy came out with the Duramax. eek!
It was 80% Dodge. :rolleyes:

Just because Dodge could be losing the Come-apart contract doesn't mean Ford owns Cummins. There have been threats for the last 10 years by Cummins to pull that contract. One threat ended up with the redesign of the body from the 80's-early 90's square design, to the '94 or so body style change. Dodge was selling trucks because of the powerplant plain and simple and the trucks were falling apart around it. Cummins was going to sue to get out of it then and Ford was going to get a Cummins option. Dodge redesigned the body and dodged a bullet (no pun intended). Now that contract is up and Ford is in the position to pick up the Cummins option. It has nothing to do with them "owning" Cummins just like I stated before.

hammerdown, the bodystlye on the f250 is not scheduled to be changed (maybe) until "05". but ford is building a smaller class diesel engine to put into the f150, we hope to see test trucks late "04"..i hear they are going to be pretty powerful for the size. the new bodystyle for the f-150 coming out in august is f#^&%$@ cool! the new 5.4 litre with over 300hp will also help.oh by the way jordanpaulk thats some fancy stuff you pulled up,i dont believe i seen where dodge owned cummins 100%. am i blind? call your nearest ford dealer and ask to order a f750 with a cummins,they will say no problem. but maybe they will have to send a parts runner to dodge for the engine! i sit on the dealer board and one of the items we look at is our investment portfolio and i can assure you ford has a large foot in the door when it comes to cummins.whats up on nasdaq today? smile_sp

oh by the way jordanpaulk thats some fancy stuff you pulled up,i dont believe i seen where dodge owned cummins 100%. am i blind? You must be. Point out where I said anything about Dodge owning Cummins. You might be a service writer, but you've made it clear that you don't have the first ****ing clue about how contracts between manufacturers and power suppliers work.
For the last time, and I'm typing slow, so perhaps you'll understand it.
Dodge doesn't own Cummins.
Ford doesn't own Cummins.
Cummins is it's own company.
Chevrolet doesn't own Isuzu (Duramax).
Chevrolet doesn't own Cat either. (I'll get to this in a minute).
They have contracts to supply the motors for the vehicles.
Oh, and by the way, The F650 has been available with a Cummins engine for at least the last 6 years. Maintainer Service Trucks of that size all had Cummins in them. Maintainer doesn't own Cummins either. The Top Kick and Kodiak models are availible with a Cat 3126. Chevrolet and GM don't own Caterpillar. The 4500 and 5500 Chevrolet service trucks come with an option of a Duramax or an 8.1 gas motor. Chevrolet still doesn't own Isuzu.

Certainly doesn't say much for where you work. Do they think Ford owns Cummins too? Perhaps your boss just has a great sense of humor keeping you around. I've always said, "Hire the handicapped, they're fun to watch." He must think the same thing.

Are you really that much of a moron? You are the one saying that Ford owns Cummins. Not me.
I'd tell you to point out where exactly I've talked out my ass, but further discussion with you has proven pointless as you can't grasp a simple concept, so I quit.

Why is it that Ford only puts Cummins diesels in their heavy duty trucks from from F650 up??Maybe cause they are to powerful fort the 1 tons and such.If they did they couldn't sell any more powerjokes.

I thought that GM owned 51% share of Isuzu, Now I know was a few years back, & we all know that things in Detroit change as fast as we change our socks! My thought of Dodge is now that DaimlerMercedes is owner or part owner will we see Mercedes Diesels in Dodge trucks, Alot like you can only get a Mercedes Motors in all big Freightliner trucks now in Calif, & can not get a Cuimmins in a Freightliner in 2003. All I know is Isuzu builds some pretty big engines up to the size that go in big ships.

The lower power one only makes 740hp and runs 11's, so bring your big guns. eek! If that thing makes that kind of power then it shouldn't have any trouble pulling 80K GVW up the Grapevine at 55mph....That I'd pay good money to see. :D

80k#? I know the motor would do it, but you'd rip the frame right out of that Dodge. I think it's rated for like 16k or so for towing weight.
Now, with the power turned DOWN, it will run 85+ up 8% towing 15k. :)

hey jordanpaulk sounds like you have way to much time on your hands! [/b]
Bring on the personal attacks since you don't have an intelligent leg to stand on and have proved that thus far in this discussion.
i guess if they will continue to pay me what i'm bieng paid to be a service advisor, then cool! sorry to tell you this but your talking out your ass! [/b]
Certainly doesn't say much for where you work. Do they think Ford owns Cummins too? Perhaps your boss just has a great sense of humor keeping you around. I've always said, "Hire the handicapped, they're fun to watch." He must think the same thing.
[b] just because these companies are the underlying power suppliers does not mean they own the majority in stock options...so blow me....all the way to the bank with my service advisors paycheck. :D No wonder Sleek didn't want to deal with you. Are you really that much of a moron? You are the one saying that Ford owns Cummins. Not me.
I'd tell you to point out where exactly I've talked out my ass, but further discussion with you has proven pointless as you can't grasp a simple concept, so I quit.
Do you have any idea what has been posted? Why don't you read back up and see what you've been saying versus what I've been saying.
As far as telling me to blow you? Why don't you go fist yourself.

Jordanpaulk, I don't normally post but after reading your posts on this discussion of Fords and Chevys with this other individual, I have to say that way you presented your case and then provided supporting data was outstanding. The fact that the other individual couldn't see the holes you were shoting in his side of the argument is beyond me. I have to say I enjoyed reading discussion especially your side of it. Of course he could of left off the derogatory ending, but what are you going to do. It was great reading, thanks
