A very good friend of mine is an engineer at Ford. He is been both a diesel eng. and Gas engineer. He is also an engine engineer. Here is what he has told me. All of this is factual info. 1. The warranty for the IH diesel in the Ford trucks is costing Ford motor comp. $1 Billion/year. (yes that is 9 zeros) 2. The base motor is good but the turbo, fuel rails system and other stuff goes bad. 3. Ford has a contract with IH so it has to stay with IH for a few years. 4. If stuff breaks on the truck after "x" miles You will have to pay for it and you wouldnt want to. My opinion 5. Research the warranty on the GM and Dodge. My neighbor has a Chevy 2500 duramax 2003 model, he needed a new allison trans and it cost several thousand dollars. could have been a bad luck case. The truck had 80K miles on it at the time. His diesel mileage is about 19-city/hwy. GM has the 100K power train warranty. I have never owned a diesel PU but with the cost of diesel fuel, and the cost of a new truck I couldnt afford a new one. Diesel in my area is now $3.40/gallon. Gas is $3.05. I remember when diesel was cheaper. Good luck.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
