General Diesel Discussion Talk about general diesel engines (theory, etc.) If it's about diesel, and it doesn't fit anywhere else, then put it right in here.

Florida is FORD country (and a short F450 report).... :(

There are a lot of Dodge's here but they are busy working , not site seeing.
What's really amazing is the high price used car lots ask for low mileage Fords - and people pay it !

No worries Annabelle. Based on what I carry, I wouldn't mind having a higher rear-end. 3.55 means I'm out of OD almost all the time. But it also means I get 13+ when I haul.

"You have to take 2 or 3 stabs to hit a parking spot with a Ford of anykind when your use to driving a Dodge."


the OBS fords turned on a dime (2wd models) i had a 87 model and no ford or dodge could turn sharper. the twin I-beam suspension setup had a pretty sharp turning radius IIRC. the NBS different story with the 4wd's at least. my dads 2000 dually crew cab 4wd dosent turn worth a dern. my 02 will turn much sharper.
