Lots of Fords
Just got back week in Gettysburg PA. Mostly Fords at campground. People having more faith on the 6.7s after the bad experience from the 6.0.:B

My cousin has been a diesel tech since '93 and worked only on Ford diesels until a couple of years ago when mostly the 6.0/6.4 PSD were out of warranty. He has been working in the Chrysler shop working on ram diesels now and the ford shop has reduced it's diesel techs almost 50 percent. He also reported the red tape is terrible with FCA whereas in the Ford shop they were given more wiggle room to handle warranty repairs without pre approvals. The emissions equipment, injectors, transmissions, suspension overhals, and electrical grimlins keep's him very busy in the Chrysler shop.
Good luck with your truck....
The difference of opinion between your cousin and the mechanics I talked to is not at all surprising.
I think we'd all agree there's no winning a debate on what defines a "better" truck. It's like trying to debate what defines a "better" beer---impossible. It's human nature to search out those opinions that strengthen our position and ignore those that weaken it.
Talk to me in 3 years. I may end up having every problem your cousin mentioned. Or, I may not. Who knows.
For now, I'm a happy camper :)
Agreed... I also wanted to mention that he gets on a regular basis for both brands is trucks that have been worked on by an independent shop only to have it screwed up even worse. A factory trained tech using OEM parts usually produces a better quality repair in the long run.
