03 Ford bites the dust

So there I was on Monday morning drinking some coffee and the owner of an 03 F250 4x4 KING RANCH Edition truck comes up to me and says "Okay you can start ribbing me now."

I said huh?*&^ what are you talking about?

Background: Ever since I bought my 04 2500 HO in October he's been telling me how Ford owns cummins.....ford is better,,,you know the story...and he hasn't had any problems with his truck and the 6.0 engine...

Guess what happened Sunday on his drive from Houston to Austin...You guess it....Engine sucked a piston, and only had 15k on the truck...

Yeah, My Dodge might not be as fancy as the King Ranch Edition Ford....but it costs less, and has an engine that won't fail....

Project inspector out here just had the motor in his '04 replaced....had an oil leak they couldn't fix.

Ford told him it was a "bad casting"

Yes, but the rest of the truck is REAL nice.

I just watched a lady go a little too close to a ditch in her Powerstroke F250 4x4 and stick that sucker in the dirt. If I'd've had a tow strap with me I might've been able to pull her out - as it is, she had to call a tow truck. Her front wheels wouldn't budge, and her front axle was just plain stuck. I'm happier with my Ram every single day - it's going to get to the point where the doctors will have to operate to get the smile off my face!
