RE: the bold print above, it kind of makes you wonder where they came up with their various slogans over the years, i.e., "Built Ford Tough" and "Quality is Job #1" and "Super Duty" as part of a truck name!! And personally, I think you'll be less happy with a Dodge than with your current Ford.
BR, to comment on your earlier post (which was a comment on mine), I've had similar problems with my F-250 but it's a 5.4L gas engine (this truck currently has 66,000 miles on the odo):
Two out of four ball joints worn out (48,000 mi); how come a truck with
Super Duty in the name doesn't have greaseable ball joints????
Fuel tank filler pipe rotted (46,000 mi).
Front driveshaft rotted where the slipjoint is welded to the tube (55,000 mi).
Fuel pump failed (48,000 mi).
Bolt heads rusted off the exhaust manifold(s) (50,000 mi); replaced everything with stainless steel headers and bolts.
The cab corners and door bottoms are rotting now and the crossmembers under the pickup bed are rotting and probably won't pass inspection next year; anyone know where I can find a good used bed? I've heard up to 2007 will fit.
Sorry if this is considered hijacking the thread.
