Congratulations! You're part of the 5%...

I like that color, btw.

 

thanks. it hides dirt well.

 

I work mine as well. Usually well overloaded. I pulled 16000 (grossing 22000) multiple times......to many to count really. When I have my truck camper on the truck it weighs 11000, not including what I'm pulling behind it. Who knows how many cars it has pulled around.

 

So what?
Who cares?

That is NOT what I said, dimwit... Pay attention and try again.

Yeah, I know... I know... you saw them ALL yourself... Save it. I ran those for awhile while living in TX... Who cares? The fact remains, according to the people who actually DO track this stuff... Go prove them wrong by checking registrations for yourself. Then tell them what a bunch of morons they are. See if I care.

That's what preventative maintenance is for and those who break down so much are doing something wrong. REALITY CHECK TIME: Why would Ford outsell GM and RAM.... OUTRIGHT in the HD segment if Ford sucks so badly????

Is it because SO MANY drivers DESIRE to be in the shop? Get a clue.

Ford has offered a standard 5yr 100,000 mile warranty on the Super Duty diesel for years... Who knew? I knew... I think my 1993 model may have been covered that long, but probably not. However, many years of the PowerStroke were. The 2004 certainly was and ALL are, according to Fords warranty information.

So... If it REALLY matters... GREAT! Ford's done this for at least a decade... NEXT!

 

If you had a decent clue, you'd still be lost.
Those of us who've been around here awhile aren't surprised that you don't understand things... The 4.6L in pickups was no fun in 2v form, to be sure. That said, the 5.4L made 360+ lb-ft of torque... That can move plenty. It outworked GM and Dodge engines its size for a very long time. Still, anyone pulling a load regularly would prefer the diesel and all three make a pretty good one, regardless of early problems along the way. Everyone remembers the 6L problems for Ford, but hardly anyone remembers the early D-max, which we commonly called "Duracrack," "Durajunk," "Durablast," etc. because it popped gaskets like crazy and that ultimately led GM to lower the compression ratio considerably. Now it does fine, thanks to that and several other changes. Nothing's perfect.

The Camry is bland, but it isn't popular because it sucks.

Yes they were! The 3v probably saved the F-series, considering its predecessor. W/O that change, I'm convinced Ford would've sunk in the pickup department. The 5.4L went from 260hp to over 300.. torque didn't change much. The 4.6 went from nearly incapable to able.

 

used ford trucks are worthless.

 

So are the rest... Trucks today are so loaded with electronics, they're too much a concern for me to buy used if I'm working it. Worse, the market is so crazy right now, you'll pay too close to "new" price for a used one anyway, so I'm not bothering.

 

I'll stay out of this conversation with my spark plug spitting, 2V turd of a truck.


Still don't know why I bought it to haul family stuff and my car trailer.




Yes this post is jaded, persnickety and full of sarcasm

 

I'm tired of wasting time on it'llrun. Dude don't know **** comes in saying we don't work or trucks. And a warranty is worthless what planet did you come from damn.

 

every time I tow, I'm grossing 22k. plus it's my DD.

my truck gets worked

 

Hell yeah you must be apart of the 5%

 

I try

 

I guess the company i work for with 4 different location and 12 GM powered trucks are part of the 5% too

 

5%, brah!

 

I hear those 5.0 truck drop 5 seconds in the 1\4 with a high stall.

 

5% crew in the da house.

 

They be straight up rapin'!

 

haha because consumer buying trends means anything, all you do show someone something shiny on tv and they all go buy it.

a lot of people bought enron stocks and we all know how that worked out for them.

a lot of people buy mcdonalds and we know how that is for you, to sum up just because its the most bought product doesnt mean its the best

 

Exactly

 

If you think a 2v 5.4 made any where near 360tq your the one that don't understand things. They were turds in a bad way. Spark plug spiting turds. The 3v's were not much better. Go ahead and change the plugs in one of those.....lmao. Consider yourself lucky if 1/2 of the plugs don't break off down in the head.

My 2500hd 6.0 has thrashed every 5.4 it's had in it's site......and it don't break a sweet doin it. 2v or 3v ......hell I give them a 1000lb weight advantage because they were 1/2 tons.
