I USED to be a ford man, had two 6.0s and never had the least bit of trouble out of the engines. Now the torqshift tranny is a different story, toasted both of them in an all stock truck. After the second one I decided to try a Dodge and so far I have been happy, except that i'm getting a REAL hard down shift between 2nd and 1st. I think my next truck will be a stick.
