I am glad that the OP is happy with his Ford Diesel.
But to be fair 3 years and 88k is not a profound statement on a diesels life or dependability. It is really just beginning it's life and is now completely broken in.
These should be 500 thousand mile engines. and to be honest Ford has had many many problems with it's diesels over the years. One year would be great the next would require changes for emissions and it would be terrible. They seemed for years to have no long range engine design planning for future emissions and power requirements.
The overwhelming number of really older diesels I come across are either the 7.3 Ford which was the International Harvester Bus engine, or old Dodge Cummins.
Dodge did the only smart thing. They teamed up with a real dependable diesel engine maker and put that badge on the truck.
Ford (and for that matter Chevy) would be smart to follow suit. Instead they fiddled around the edges trying to reinvent the wheel. and mostly failed.
Ford should get CAT to source one of their smaller diesels for them and off you go to the races.
And GM who once owned the biggest diesel manufacturer in the US Detroit Diesel could do the same.
I cant wait for MACK to make a pickup.
Good luck getting 500,000 miles on the rest of the truck. These things are not built like big rigs-regardless of what others may feel/say. When you get to 300,000 miles the rest of the vehicle is junk. Yea-I know there are always a few exceptions.....
