yeaaaahh, yesterday the fuel return line broke and ran into problems with the not so simple flare fittings that also have a rubber sleeve involved. Now its either have cps problems or just air in the lines, but of course the obd2 scanner wont connect

yeah im not gonna get in a mile long heated debate, but the powerchoke twin turbos are definitley not the top of the game. All the trucks are equally junk, but the chevys and dodges (d-max and cummins) are superior powerplants. Its proven by the numbers. Adam is going off of fords bullshit commercials that say “top truck in its class, best horsepower and torque in its class blah blah blah” If this was the case, ford would be in a class of their own, because they are no competition for the chevys and dodges.

The Powerstrokes are junk. Thats why Ford keeps changing them trying to get it right.  
Cummins are awesome but the trucks are junk.  
Hang a plow on an IFS Chevy and the nose drags on the ground.

The ideal truck is a Ford truck, Dodge motor (Cummins) and Chevy tranny (Allison).

GM sold Detroit and Allison a while ago…

I really didnt think the Power stroke 6.0 and 6.4 were bad motors. I didnt see any long enough to have problems and I never towed with them. The 7.3 Powernational motor sucked tho. Then again, The old GM 6.5 was much worse. Dodge has the right idea. Buy diesel motors from someone that has been building them for years. I always wanted to see a mini Detroit in a GM pickup. 2 stroke diesel FTMFW!

Ive seen several of the new 2500 HD’s dragging the front ends with plows on. A few still had dealer plates on them.

the new body style 07+ trucks do have a terrible FAWR. an 07+ 1/2 ton gm truck fisher wont sell u anything to put a blade bigger than a 7’4" fuckin homesteader. Its ridiculous. Another thing you have to take into acct is my 7’6" doesnt even budge my truck when i pick it up, but i have snow plow prep package from factory. if im not mistaken the torsion bars in my truck have a heavier spring rate than a non-factory equipped truck. if these other assholes that throw a 9’6" v-plow on their truck took five mins to jack up on their torsion bars, they wouldnt have that problem.

Yeah award winning quality, almost 700lb-ft of torque stock, and 16,000# tow capacity… REALLY sucks … :lol. Look at Hatfields truck and tell me that there is a chevy/dodge that is nicer!
