I hear ya...I have always been a GM fan, but the 6.0 is not gonna cut it. I did do some research on the Ford, and the 6.2 has nearly same power specs at the Ram 6.4. Frankly though, I am put off by their whole diesel engine drama of the last 10 years, starting with the 6.0. Not that they had problems with the engineering, that happens, but I've read soooo many stories about how warranty work was denied leaving customers who spent big money on a new truck holding the bag for repairs.
My impression of Ford has nothing to do with their trucks, but that they don't treat their customers very well, and I'm not inclined to do business with a company like that. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I view Ford right now.
One thing I've learned over the years, concerning warranty issues, whether trucks, or motor sports vehicles, the dealers approach and standing with the manufacturer, can make a difference. I have received assistance from Ford, and even Yamaha Motor Sports, after my warranty period had ended. I have also seen the nice guy be denied, when deserving warranty, and the a-hle get warranty, when they shouldn't.
