Playing off a tractor post, What was the most unreliable, worst economy diesel truck you ever had and why was it such a POS? Was it the engine, drive train (tranny, etc), body, whatever??

I agree with all if that. Which auto transmissions? We have never owned and don't plan to own a auto as long as there is a manual available, but I have heard the aisin 6 speed they have used since 07 is as good of a auto as there is, but idk.Calhoun Farm":1zs96m2t said:You'll be hard pressed to find anyone complain about a cummins, I'm on my 4th one and I love the engines. The auto transmissions and front ends are the weak links. Die hard Ford guys will always make excuses for the junk 6.0 and they will buy them just because of the blue oval and because grandpa drove Fords. Deep at heart they know they are junk and will cost a war pention to keep running. 7.3 was Fords best motor, the 6.4 and the new 6.7 have issues to. Not as bad as the 6.0 though.
