[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 291898, member: 2862"] Coolpop, I'm not sure where your information comes from, but its a little off. 1) Ford never had a 6.9L diesel in 2002 - 2004 2) Failure rates between Mexican and US Dodge trucks are identical these days. Indeed, heavy duty Dodge's are all built in Mexico. Out of 23 trucks, we've owned 70% Mexican and never had manufacturing issues with any of them. Except one that shipped with a defective rear tail shaft (New Venture transmission, built in the USA). No bash against the US here guys, but you're just as likely to get a failure no matter where the truck is assembled. 3) Dodge just switched to American Axle in 2003. Very unlikely they'll switch again anytime soon. If Dodge switches, it'll be back to the hybrid Dana 70/80. 4) The Ford front and rear diff are identical to the current Dodge in torque handling capacity. Rod [/QUOTE]
