i have a 04.5 crew cab LB7 with intake. turbo back exhaust and edge tuner. I love the truck! havent had a problem and im at 60K miles. I was considering the ford but the small rear seats and 6.0 scared me away.

The new fords and i think all new diesels for that matter have Diesel Exhaust Fluid and if you don't refill when its empty the truck wont start. Thats pretty gay. Who the hell wants to by an emissions friendly diesel. Ill stick with my black smoke bellowin 1st Gen Cummins that will outlast all these new diesels in longevity and reliability.
So true.
