Ford almost went with Cummins I think before they went to international / navistar. They had so many problems with the junk 6.0, I think ford actually produced the last motor themselves.
Is it me, or does Dodge seem to have thinner sheet metal. I get a lot more pinging sound from gravel with my ram 1500 than I did with my f250. Also my dodge is already started to rust a bit, but I usually drive her hard and put her away wet.
not that I know of. I think that at least 1/3rd of the silver ones of that era have rust that they shouldn't. I saw a texas truck that was a 02 that had rusted out wheel wells, and doors.
My 01 dodge is starting to rust a bit. Is yours silver? The silver color in the Dodge was a bad paint and a lot of those trucks are rusting now. I haven't noticed it on any other colors yet. Also International / Navistar made this motor as well. They had to big of a contract with them to get out. Ford is sitting on a 700 lb/ft torque motor but it would cost to much to retool and to buy out International. Oh and I believe that ford did win the law suit against International from the 6.0 ltr because of all the warranty work that for had to do.
