My Dodge is 16 years old , and has 327,000 mi, but the body is starting to show it's age ! The Cummins runs perfect ! Anybody got any ideas ?..Thanks, John

I have read the same stuff, and even being a Ford guy, I was skeptical, did an internet search and there a lot of issues (motor wise) when towing the described weights. I agree with the rest, stick with the Dodge. I own an F-350. As discussed in other threads I feel the biggest thing is the brakes. Half ton trucks just don't have the brakes to stop over 10k safely.
