You could virtually copy this whole thread when someone links pickup sales for any given month.

Same for trailer tires thread. That's why we are down to ten pages of topics.

Same old garbage.

But how else do we justify our life choices and criticize others for not buying what we bought? :h

Patriot... Perhaps you can post that article again that shows the percent of market by diesel engine brand. :B

There's no doubt it's stunning how so many people were burned in the 6.0L, 6.4L and to some degree the 6.7L Ford fiascos and still come back for more. When reading the Dieselstop yesterday I was amazed how many were trading off 2011-2014 6.7L trucks for new models to avoid the disasters that they have been known to cause. One has to give it to Ford, they have incredible marketing. I got burnt on my 6.0L in repairs and resale and wasn't going in for Round 2! And this is coming from what was a die hard Ford man! :B

What about those who bought the gold standard Cummins and got burned? My uncle hasn't had a single ram mafia member offer to reimburse the bill for his new engine at 130K miles on his 2006. I'm pretty sure he's not holding his breath. So much for those who said "buy the cummins, it will never let you down."

Do you really want to compare the 2006 Cummins reliability record to a 2006 Ford 6.0L?

Deflecting isn't the same as answering the question. The Cummins reliability record doesn't mean squat when you are the one holding the 12,000 dollar bill for a new engine just out of warranty period. Would you really want to lecture my Uncle on the reliability record of his engine? That is ice cold man.
I also never said he was considering the 6.0 back in 2006. He traded in a Land Cruiser and went for the Cummins over the Duramax, and paid dearly.

I'm certainly not saying that there isn't failures of the Cummins but it isn't common, and definitely not to the extent you're referring to. What was the failure and what caused it?

I know all about large repair bills because I owned a 6.0L and spent plenty on it. It was also needing several thousand $ in repairs when I decided I had enough and dumped it.
