The problem is Ford out sells Dodge and Chevy/Gmc combined so you are going to have more bad apples on the road. You all think it's bad now wait until the new trucks come out this year with all new motors and yes emmisions. Get yourself the newest copy of Diesel Power and read up.
Good Riddance!!!

i have the lastest edition of diesel power, and it says nothing about what the problems are gonna be. i am sure there will be some, there always are, but nobody knows until the problems start, diesel power mag is not crystal ball.

Whatever...
Is "Diesel Power magazine is a lovely 150-page advertisement for Banks" more to your liking vs. the crystal ball line ?

obiviously you never heard of the EPA... they set the standard of which all must meet concerning ENGINES...
low fuel rate right off idle was to reduce unburnt smoke puffs, which is what and why most of the population percieves oil burners as being "dirty engines", never mind the fact that most owners fail miserably at preventive maint. like air filters fuel filters oil changes etc....which greatly adds to the current pollution perception.
you sir have some issues and i wil not sit by let you rant about BS and attack others here,with your bs remarks.
if you didnt like your ford ps. then thats your bus.
i amsure dodge and gm has had just as many engine issues as ford...shoot my 84 blazer crapped rear mains seals every 12k so hmmm.
have a great day

Who the hell did i attack??? The low power off idle nearly got my wife killed. I think i have every right to gripe. She was used to driving the 7.3 and when she went to pull across traffic the first time she nearly got T-Boned. No dealer was ever able to fix it. Just the nature of the 6-speed i kept being told. The whole issue is i have had 7.3's since 89. NONE of them ever caused any problems. If you remember the Reuters article about the 6.0 in 03 i was the one quoted in the article. I was giving Ford the benefit of the doubt at the time. My attitude has change over time. Wait till you have 120K on yours before you open your pie hole.................

I got 92,000 KM on my 03 and just had 2 flashes done, The motor has run flawless. The tranny thats a differnt situation. I have run mine up to 1600*F More then a couple times, I know im playing with fire but she runs like a top. My grandpa has a 03 with 140,000km on his and just an exsust leak and a tranny. He also has a 05 with 60,000KM no problems. I have seen more tranny problems then Motor Problems. I love my 6.0L. It has alot to do with maintaining them.
