just was at my friends auto repair shop, another friend who purchased a ford SD was in and needed a few things. he said the only way to purchase the air filter is with the housing at $120 a pop, also it has two fuel filters at $130 list price, even my friends price was high at $70/ea!!! makes me kinda glad

 

WOW !!!! I had heard parts were $$$ for those boat anchors but man !!! Ten bucks for a Fleetguard fuel filter and same for oil .......... Ford guys just get it coming & going !!!

 

I've always wondered why McDonalds sells the most hamburgers and Ford sells the most trucks. It ain't the quality... Hmm... Gotta be a connection...

 

I spilled my coffee ............. I was laughing so hard !!!

 

when it comes to ferds it aint the price either

 

It is called marketing.

 

I always liked the pitch they have had recently called "The Truth About Trucks..." Sponsored of course by - Ford. Hmmm, wonder who they will favor?

I WILL say that the old Gas I-6 Ford truck was quite a good, cheap workhorse, although they were slow, fuel hogs, and the body would rust off them. Of course, Ford wants no part of I-6 engines anymore, not "image-concious" enough for them.

 

you mean the ol' 300 inline 6 cylinder? That was an awesome engine, last forever. We hauled junk with a half ton, 3 speed and could not kill that sucker. All the good engines of the past, chebby 350, Ford 302, Dodge 360/318, slant 6, 300 inline ford 6, all done away with for the high tech unreliable poo poo.

 

Ford Doesnt-- But I DID!!!
