Who are those two guys standing in the picture? The owner of the Ford?

Way to offer a lending hand to someone in need.

Did you guys ever find out what was wrong w/ the Ford?

I've always heard that the Blue Oval on the front and back of the truck cause weird harmonics to surge throughout the truck...hence making them break down on a regular basis. It's something that Ford has been trying to hash out ever since they began development! LOL

Sorry guys...just HAD to say SOMETHING!

I gotta ask, Did you show him how a real truck smokes??

Nice. My Bro is looking for a diesel truck when he gets his license next year. I am trying to talk him into a 1st or 2nd Gen dodge but he wont have any of it unless it is dirt cheep. He like ford as his boss (farmer) drives a 95 Ford 250 PS. He loves that truck. He talks it up and down to me (ie We pulled 12 cattle up such and such a hill and 60 the whole way up) I said, give me the trailer and watch how I would pass you doing the same thing accept I would be accelerating! He doesn't want a 6.0 because they cost to much but likes the look. He also says dodge has bad trannies (being duped by his boss again). Again if it is a diesel he wants it. But not GMC. Oh well.

Jon

I nearly started to cry from laughing so hard when a cheezy super duty ad came on Television right as I opened this thread up.

Truck - $50,000 + Trailer - $15,000 + Being towed to safety to see another day by a friendly Dodge Cummins Driver = Priceless!

Good to see that you helped the guy out. Not many people would have done that.
And guys laugh all you want I seen three Dodges last week towed to the dealership for engine problems. And guess what, the tow trucks were all Fords.

To quote my grandfather, god rest his soul. "They're all junk, just different levels of junk."
I just bought the one that seems like its the most reliable junk.
