another ford guy

[Did A Dura Do Dat]

Well finally someone came in and stood up for themselves!! Bowtie we actually don't try to talk any trash, we just wanted to get you guys talkin I mean we're all diesel guys no matter which auto maker built our trucks. That's good that your confident, just don't turn way cocky like all the cummins guys. I don't think the ford guys are cocky, even though I am one....at least not compared to the CTD guys. I know my truck is powerful with the little i've done, but I also know there's always someone out there with more power or more speed no matter what you have.

well....i wasnt here initailly to start trouble...but here it comes......i think when you call the ford tranny puny....and say yours is so much better....you should specify which tranny......i would dare you to try to find any consistant failures with the torqueshift they are putting behind the 6.0's...they have been since 03. the only problem they had was an initial run of them they had to replace the reverse planitary gears in...after that recall was done....i have only seen ONE in three years have issues....

but wait.....when you chevy guys go bragging about your allison tranny.....go do your homework....casue ford is running one too.....when chevy bought that contract from allison...they bought the rights to have the exclusive use of the allison NAME in all light duty trucks....but guess what.....ALLISON BUILT AND DESIGNED THE TORQUESHIFT.......so guess that makes that "puny" tranny seem a bunch better.....hun :Poke

Also the 4r100 is not really a bad tranny. While not the best, its weak link is the TC. I've put many hard miles on mine and haven't had the slightest hint at a problem. If you want to knock transmission, knock the true weak tranny.......Dodge's auto
