Neons DO NOT, come with power rear windows. PERIOD. If, the SRT4 also out performs everything in its class by a long shot, and takes alot of light away from the big racer compacts like the Evo and STI.

 

but with the awd, and overseas performancr market, the EVO and STi have FAR more potential...

 

SRT4 Is still under warranty with stage 2, and will leave all those AWDs in the DUST with ease with such an upgrade.

When the Imports are modified, warranty is gone. and you have spent MUCH More. I REALLY Like the Evo, but its just not worth it.

 

Ever notice what company work trucks are? Usually by far ford. I like dodge, and think the cummins is a great motor, but the several fords that we have owned on the farm have held up extremely well! Most farmers drive fords also, then chevy(if not a diesel) and last dodge. The transmission on our fords are all original and never been rebuilt, while the dodges are constantly going out, then out again, then again, and once more for sh#ts and giggles, all by 100,000 miles. I would take the dodge, just not for a real work truck, Sorry. Down on the farm, trucks get abused, and the fords seem to handle it.

 

are these the 7.3 PSD's? they were very good engines and held up VERY well. but when Ford went to the 6.oh-no thats when the problems started. from what I'm hearing theres a 50% return rate for something to be done to the engine.

now I'm not knocking ford. the frames are tough, and the drive lines are great. but the engine is the acheles heal for these trucks.

the Dodges you have peobably have the old transmission before the 47RE. even I would admit it was a slushbox of neutrals. the 47RE is a vast improvement and the 48RE is much better. but that seems to be where Dodge has their problems.

 

I don't know what Cummins engines you've had experience with, but the ones that I've used have been Combat tested to be extremely reliable. Cummins produces the engine for the AAV-7 Amphibious Tractor that has been in service since Vietnam, and used extensively during the Battle of Fallujah and held up extremely well during the battle, that same engine also powers the Army's more well known M2/M3 Bradley IFVs which have also proven themselves during Desert Storm, OEF, and OIF. Cummins also produces the engine for the M9 ACE, which I personally have extensive experience working on, and I have never had an engine failure on any of the ACEs I've seen, the hydraulic system is a mess, but the engines are excellent. And finally there is the Skytrak MMV, used exclusively in the Marine Corps, it is the best Fork-lift in service in the military, the engine is underpowered, but that's Skytrak's fault for using an Inline-4 in an 11,000 Forklift and not Cummins' fault. All three engines have proven durable, during my 6-months in OIF, and have solidified my opinion that Cummins is one of the Industry Leaders in Diesel Engines.

 

the cummins engine is the best diesel out there.and why are all work trucks ford's? because the stupid people dont know any better.
