Have fun when the injectors go out (when). They cost roughly 4000 dollars. Lift pumps are crap in them too.

    Oh if I sound like an *******, sorry I am baked while typing this.
    Dodge and their trannys? are they bad?
    ford is just bad? no good?
    I want a ford but I also want something that is going to last me a while

    the ford will last you a long ass time man.... the injectors are a recall, and so are the head studs.... I know many people that have one and no problems except the recalls and they fix that **** for free... Im going to buy one asap.... I would get a dodge but i heard their trannys are **** and to me they are ugly as ****...

    Dodges have been known to have weaker trannies. However they have made big improvements. Stock automatics are now good for 400 hp. Be nice to it and it will last you. Same goes for any tranny. The reason people blow them up alot is cummins are the cheapest to modify so people see oh I only have to spend this amount to get another 150 hp and they dont even think about their tranny. They figure out that brake boosting is the hottest thing since pop rocks and blow their tranny up in 3 months.

    Chevys dont even compare to Fords or Dodges. IFS sucks. Allison transmissions suck. Gas millage... sucks. Drive one... its slow as crap. Dodge hands down. Ask anyone that knows diesels. They will tell you that ford has the best suspension and dodge has the best motor. Most people wont even bring chevies in. The best possible set up is ford running gear and a cummins motor and built tranny.

    Fords have so many more moving parts to break. Dodge not so much. And again dodge has 7 main bearings for 6 cylinders. Ford has 5 main bearings for 8 cylinders. What do you think is built better from the very start?
