That would be Chevy or GMC with there Duramax and Allison hook up which has almost 400 horse power.

Yeah. We all appreciate me writing all that information and then you delete it. It's really appreciated. And Chevy/GMC are beat now. If you're not aware, Ford updated software in the 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel V8 and it now makes 400 horsepower and 800 pound feet of torque. Yeah, 3 hp more than Duramax and 35 pound feet of torque more. And the 3rd crossmember in the frame was strengthened so the F-350 DRW can now tow 22,600 pounds, compared to GM's 21,700 pounds. Your all beat and you just have to admit it.

Has GM actually tested their diesels? NO. Ford tested their new 6.7L in the real world for a little over 250,000 miles. And the truck still ran great when it was all over. Yeah sure, they had some problems but nothing major. There is no vehicle that's gonna go almost 300,000 miles with no problems. And Ford had the GUTS to admit it had problems. They tested the 6.7L on a dynomometer for over 10,000,000 miles and had an injector fail at 892,625 miles. That's it. Ford guarantees the customer at least 250,000 miles with this new 6.7L. And you are not suppose to service the new 6-speed transmission until 150,000 miles.

And Ford's C-Channel frame in the Super Duty puts GM's new fully boxed frame to shame. A fully boxed system is not necessary on an HD truck. You just have to have a C-Channel that's HYDROFORMED and STRENGTHENED. There is a reason it's called "Built Ford Tough." Now you little GM fanboys get off of my turf. :D I know I might sound like a Ford fanboy, but they are the best trucks and I can't help it! I am an experienced mechanic for over 10 years and I can tell you, Ford is definetly doing everything right. Have a good day and hopefully (lol) you learned something today. Bye, bye GM fanboys.
