you know I have to say something. I've worked on alot of trucks. I have to say ford has got to be the worst truck to work on. My dodge isn't no walk in the park but it isn't so supidly designed truck in the world. it will out pull my budys chevy truck. it will carry more, I've had it loaded to about 13,000 lbs and still pulling away from has truck. never had a porable whit anything on the truck at all drives great. now chevy maks a good truck but the cabs are cramped and the truck are so heavy and I have replaced trannys in them to so no matter what you buy it is all about the way you use it and how much you abuse it. thay are all about the same anymore and they all need to have something down to it sooner or latter.
