Ford 550 Verses Dodge Ram 5500 Diesel
I’m looking at Super C. Ford or Dodge diesel chassis? Anyone having serious issues with either? Also considering Freightliner M2 just not sure it’s worth 75-80 K more. Any advice appreciated. Reneg...

I've got a `18 Ram with the CTD and I'm quite happy, but in 2019 Ram switched over to the Bosch CP4.2 injector pump that has proven to be problimatic to some because the injector pump can hand grenade and spew metal into the fuel system resulting in many thousands of dollars to repair.
Ford has been using this injector pump for many years and while there are people who've had no problems and say that this topic is akin to the sky falling, I'm sure if you had to pay out of pocket to have repaired, then you'd be singing a different tune.
There are aftermarket fuel bypass systems for the Ford that if the pump does grenade, then it will spare destruction further down the line. I'm sure something for the CTD is in the pipeline as well.
Something to research and consider before your purchase. I have a friend who has a 3/4T Ford and the interior seems roomier than mine.
