Stranded in Houston
Well, my Ford 6.0 has the dreaded EGR Cooler failure on our trip from Phoenix to Disney World. It's at the dealership now in Houston. Hopefully they can fix it today. If not, anyone want to rent ...

so if you replace it do you buy a truck for it's looks, or for drive train reliability???
I agree reliability is of upmost importance, but don't we all want a truck that looks good as well? We should be able to have both, no?
I've looked over the Dodge and GM literature, and I can't find a 100% guarantee against breakdown/failures.
I'm partial to Ford myself, but I've seen all 3 brands broken down, on the side of the road, wating for a wrecker.
To OP, I'm sorry to hear of the considerable unexpected expense and shortened vacation (especially at Ft. Wilderness @ the World) To be honest, I wouldn't trust the truck either unless a trusted mechanic can find out what when wrong and why. Good mechanics really are hard to come by, especially when it comes to the finiky and complex 6.0.
