[QUOTE="Hotrodpayton, post: 368494, member: 5192"] My company was running 7 power stroke 6.0 trucks. I eventually had to send my mechanics to ford school and buy all the tools to become 6.0 specialist. After they all got about 250k I replaced 5 of them with 2014 Dodge 3500's. I drove all the trucks, but I have a 3500 that has the 6.7 cummins I bought in 07 and it's never seen the shop. That led to the Dodge purchase. The new trucks drive and ride awesome, but the old 6.0 trucks will burn em in a drag race in stock form. But all these trucks are still 18k miles and less so I feel like after they have some run time they will pick up the pace. My 07 drastically got better at 25k. I've pulled some VERY stupid heavy loads with it and it really does well. I expect the same from these others. With that said, for my personal truck I am considering upgrading soon from my first gas powered truck in 12 years. I am highly considering Ford because they are quieter and I like the look better than the rest. Although the Dodge is the smartest choice because I am running 5 more with filters already in stock. We'll see. But both trucks seem to be great. Side note, I still have my old personal 6.0 in the fleet and it's at 320k miles with nothing more than a PTC trans swap, injectors, gaskets and head stud change. It has straight exhaust . It is still a beast and it runs great! But we worked on 5 of them like they where lemons. [/QUOTE]
