Anybody tally the votes yet? I'm no expert, but it appears to be a lopsided victory for the 6 cylinder crowd.

It all boils down to whether you wanna work, or just look pretty. :lol:

Lets see.. I can do a set of ball joints and tie rod ends in my truck for ~$250.. compare that to ONE injector on a new truck of any brand

Speaking of resale value.. Lets see any Fords or Chevs compete here.. When I was in Texas in 2008 I looked at a fully loaded crew cab SRW F350, 4x4, in MINT condition.. 2002.. it was $10K

I don't fully understand what you mean, but these are selling pretty high...........

I wanna know who would pay 29K for a 2002 Ford Excursion with a 7.3 in it?

I remember when the Eagle Ford kicked off big there were service companies buying Dodge trucks buy the acres. There were literally lots with 5 ac of white Dodge diesels. A year later there were allocated grave yards in the lots for all the broke down trucks. Every Dodge dealership any where near here had a grave yard of Dodge diesels. They came the 18 wheelers and they hauled them suckers out by the load. Most people have gone to Ford and Chevy 3/4 gas motors. The few that had to have diesels went Ford or Chevy. Even the hot shot drivers bailed on dodge. Most of those guys had Cummins tatoos on their butt cheeks. Not any more. Ford has really taken a huge market share from Dodge. I haven't seen a Dodge on location in who knows how long.

The other thing that was funny is when we started out some of these old ranchers were driving their broke down 5.9s with the flat bed. As soon as those O&G checks came in its all Ford and Chevy. They bounced on Dodge when they had the money and never looked back. :lol: Guess they thought making all that torque at 1200 rpm wasn't as important any more.

Only guys I see driving dodges and more are teenagers wanting to race and role coal. Occasionally you will see a donkey farmer with a 40' aluminum trailer hauling to donkeys to shows or a team roper with one.

There's only one work truck in the bunch, the rest are status symbols and toys

Prices don't look all that much different when you look at Dodge.. except they're mostly in working clothes

An in line 6 cylinder made by International is my favorite. If I could fit a 466 in my pick up, I would!

An old mechanical 466....yes. Don't get me started on the 466E.

That's the difference between other diesel owners and dodge guys. Dodge guys walk around with their pants unzipped taking pics going look at my Cummins pull 20K like it's some kind of unreachable task for the rest of us. The rest of us are laughing because we do the same stuff... with out death wobble... with out holes in our dash... with out our wore out interior sounding like POed rattle snake...

I watch all the big 3 drag a lot of iron around with no problems. The Dodge guys always want some kind of pat on the back for their trucks doing... what every one elses truck can do too. :lol2:

I don't think I've insulted anyone based on the truck they drive.....just you for doing so.
Otherwise just my opinion based on years of running multiple trucks of different brands. That I bought with my money. ..I'm completely confident in my opinion of you as I am of my opinion on trucks. Certainly no showing off here. Just showing what's real from real world experience. Not just watching.
Now let's see you and that rig.

Ill send yall a pic of me pulling the boat to Port Mansfield tomorrow. If I lose the who works hardest out of their truck competition I'll talk to my therapist on Monday about it.

Any truck driven on our roads will have rattles in it.. 20 miles of washboard gravel road will do that to any truck... I did have to change out the drivers seat in my truck, previous fat arse owner totally collapsed it.. 25 years old and the dash is just fine (well, dusty)
Here's what our roads are like.. got about 150x 80lb bales of hay along

Can't be a good therapist if he hasn't seen the light and converted to Dodge!
