Tell me your horror stories (Diesel)
Ok, so browsing through the thread about the 2011 Ford diesel left me in shock. Seems like there were many issues with the early builds of that engine. I know the Cummins and Duramax of that generat...

I haven't had any diesel horror stories. I have had a few horror stories with gas engines though. I owned a Ram 2500 Power Wagon with the 6.4 Hemi engine that got pretty horrible fuel mileage when towing a 16' enclosed trailer with a Jeep inside. My 6.4 got 6.4, MPG that is.
The dealership I bought my latest truck from sells Ram and Ford, and has the lowest prices for several states around. People actually fly in to buy their truck here. They also add an unlimited mileage and unlimited time drivetrain warranty to every truck they sell, free of charge. So, drivetrain is covered forever.
I have always been a Mopar fan, and have owned several Ram diesels, and both the 5.7 and 6.4 Hemi trucks. My last Ford pickup truck was a 1993 F350 regular cab with the 460 ci V8, so its been a while since I've owned a Ford. But this time I test drove the new Cummins Ram and the new Powerstroke Ford, and came home with the Ford. Having owned both gas and diesel, I greatly prefer diesel, irregardless of whether I'm towing or not. I don't anticipate any problems with it, but if there are, its covered under warranty forever.
