[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1125138, member: 3162"] Part of the problem is dragging heavy loads through the pastures. I was hauling quite a bit of patio stone (lime stone flag) up caliche hills and across sandy pasture. If you slowed down, you were stuck in no time. Patio stone everyone was demanding was 2 1/2 miles into the cedar breaks. So I was running that dodge pretty hard with a load behind the truck. Rough bouncing. Front end just wouldn't cut it. Plus it rode really rough in the pastures. The Chevy I traded was the gas converted diesel with 275 thousand on it. Front end had held up but I was not happy with the motor - injector pump went about every 50K. Nor hauling building stone and patio stone any more. Still hauling cows and occasionally the tractor, cat, or backhoe. Not across long pastures tho. Ford front end has held up good for me. Tranny is good too. Motor is a piece of junk - period. You are absolutely correct on diesel enging weight and what that does to any front end. You have to decide how much of your hauling is going to be on pavement and how much of it will be across rough terrain. [/QUOTE]
