damm rick, well being i just drove about 30 different dodge trucks and was set on getting the dodge, i had a change of heart, well i couldnt own a dodge. i had to get the mother of all trucks and get a super duty ford. i went to about 23 different dealers and drove every ford with every option, color, motor, interior. and all that and you cant beat the room it has, the look it has, and the power stroke motor. not to mention it didnt have "made in mexico" all over every part in it. after doing a shit load of research on the new power stroke that had so many problems, turns out it wasnt as bad of a problem as people make it out to be. dodges new h.o. is having just as many problems with their new set up as ford did when the 6.0 was first intoduced. so new stuff always has bugs to work out. now i did notice that ford trucks with a build date of 03-04 had a different feel then ones built prior to this date, so when i ordered mine i asked a million questions and finally found a dealer i could talk shop with and we addresed every question and he had a legit answer, i was shocked. after 2 hours of talking i said f*ck it lets order it man. i got a 250 crew cab 4x4 long bed with the power stroke. and i hate the waiting but its worth it. just my views on the situation but its your call.
sredish ill be calling you
