we have had shit luck with the 6.7 fords at work both engine and transmission problem in the last 3 years.

Some of the earlier 11 and 12 Fords did have some issues, most were turbo and valve issues. I have a buddy that just blew up his 6.7 Ford just a few weeks back (2011). About $18,000 for a new motor. Yes, 18 frickin k !! OUCH.. that being said, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since they are again, a new motor design (at least for the 11's and 12's). You will find it hard to find guys with 13-15's that have had motor or transmission issues... those issues seemed to have been resolved... and the 6.7 now looks like its turning into the reliable monster that the old 7.3 used to be... on facebook there is a "North Dakota Diesel Crew"... the shear amount of guys that have switched from Duramax to Powerstroke is astonishing. No doubt that most of those guys' parents probably paid for the pickup, and havent seen a second of gravel road time... but if you ask them... they have had stellar luck with the new 6.7's.

Wouldn't catch me dead in a GM (Government Moters) even though I've probably paid for one like the rest of us on here.

I still like vagina so far…as much as nature allows. I don't care for Zuckerberg, though.

If a guy is going to be hauling heavy loads. Get 3/4 ton all we need is a bunch of guys running around pulling 8000 plus lb campers with there 1/2 tons just because there motors can handle it.

Only reason I bought a ford is because they were cheeeaaaaaappppppp!

Who said anything about Ford? We were talking a gmc/Chevy combo.

I have purchased extreme amounts of pickups in my young life, and can assure you none of them have been cheap, but the Dodge did make me feel like a 3 dollar whore the entire time I owned it...haha
Arguing about pickups is neat, cause my brand is better..:;:howdy

Hopefully he didn't put an $18,000 motor in a 2011 truck. The math don't work on that one lol.

Are u drunk? I've seen your pickup.

I haven't seen his truck I was just taking his word for it...

haha.

I have a buddy that is insane with how great dodges are, it has naturally made me hate that brand, for no other reason than his constant bragging about them.

If money was no object it would be crusading around in a new pickup every 5000 miles, rather than an oil changes just a new truck, different brand every time.
