Hey ramsport97, What r u talking about, a cummins or a cat in a ford, Not the pickup. Maybe in the f-650 but every deisel truck ford has ever made for the general public, to the best of my very deep ford knowledge, has been an international. They went 6.9, 7.3, 7.3 turbo, 6.0, and 6.4, and ford is building the current engine themselves which is a 6.7 tubo v8. These r all 3/4 ton plus trucks also. U cant get real truck equipment in the half ton configuration, Ford had that strange ttb front end, chevy was all A-arms, and the wonderful dodge with the straight axle, a real truck component in a half ton truck. 3/4 tons r a different ball game completely but dodge still holds its own verywell. At least at all our stock class 4x4 truck pulls.

Oh and the superduty had a big problem with water on the fuse box which made alot of interesting things happen seeming how the body control module was attached to the back of it. And the front axle likes to hop violently when digging for traction breaking assorted links and such, Oh and the early years of the superduty, 99-01, if u plowed and didnt use low range, kiss that tranny goodbye, and if u wanted the front to be quiet u needed to replace the plastic leafspring bushings yearly to stop the constant squeeking, Just some common stuff from when i was a ford service tech. And to top it off ford went to the coil setup very simialar to the dodge on its superduty, Hmmm, maybe still one step behind.
