Hi All,
I'm new to this site and posting a general help / advice question. I currently own a 97 F350 7.3 PSD DRW. I absolutely love this truck and have no complaints other than interior room. It is only an extended cab truck and I have a 15 and 13 year old that fight too much over a long trip. :D I am currently considering purchasing a new 4 door truck. I seem to be stuck trying to decide between the Duramax and Ford with 6.4. In either case, it will be a 4 door 1 ton vehicle. I'm a member of another site dedicated to the Fords and have seen a lot of issues posted with the 6.4. I believe, from the limited research I've done, that both seem fairly equal. Price seems equal likewise too. I do realize this site is dedicated to the Duramax, but I was curious as to the experiences of the members here in relation to the Duramax. All input is appreciated. Those with experiences with the 6.4 Ford are also appreciated. I am curious about mileage, service, warranty issues, cost of ownership, etc. Prior to owning the 97, I was a GM product owner. The 97 is, in fact, the only Ford product I've owned. I realize this is a long post, but I appreciate the input and advice. Thanks again in advance for your help.
