^^^^ It comes down to risk. Any one of these trucks can have serious problems but I would say the likelyhood of any of them requiring major engine repair before 200k miles is slim. Those who are comfortable with those odds can choose amongst the three manufacturers based on whatever criteria suits their fancy. Those paranoid that sometime over the next 10 years they might have to pay 3 extra hours of labor to R&R the cab if they buy a Ford end up having to select from two manufacturers. Finally someone who feels he needs room between the fender and block to store his football is left with only one to choose.

Aw, come on, you're envious because you can't store your football under the hood and it is a pain rolling around in the cab. :B

I think it would be quite a bit more than 3 hours labour to R&R the cab. And it also requires taking the truck to a shop that is equipped to do so, whereas you can wrench on the Cummins at home with no problem. And the last time the cab was off of my Ford, I had to take it back to have it repositioned because it was installed too far forward which left a big, ugly gap between the cab and box. Overall, it was a real PITA.

There are shops that say they can lift the cab in an hour and a half.... probably they've had lot's of experience doing 6.4s. I would be cheesed off if I had a truck off warranty that needed its cab taken off for something that should have been a minor repair as well, however, the reality is that very few 6.7 owners ever experience that kind of trouble.... The Ram salesman contacted me yesterday and hasn't given up trying to win my business .... I guess you never know maybe I will be able to keep my balls under the hood after all.
