2004 Ford F-350 diesel
What is everyone's thoughts on this year/model? We were originally going to stay away from fords as we heard their older diesels had engine problems, but hubby really likes the look and drive of this...

Let's see! People bullet proof 5.9 Cummins when they wanted to put down 500-600 HP + with ARP studs and a better head gasket. Never heard of everyone having to bullet proof a shock one to keep it on the road. Chris
Why did you exclude the 6.7 cummins head gasket failures and Dodge/rams history of transmission failures.
Lol. Fish, you realize they're all pos's right?
Just depends which one on which day.
Todays diesel's with all the emission stuff and complexity will eventually fail. Some fail sooner than others but eventually it will bight you. My cousin has replaced 4 engines last year due to a injector failure and wiped out the piston/cylinder and the entire engines was trashed except for a few parts.
It's tough to tell the customer that he has to eat the cost of a new engine plus the cost of the core.
