Need another truck. Ford or Chevyl?

Whichever rig you decide to go with, a chip will help immensly if you don't pull a load all of the time. Simply adjust it to perform the task at hand. As stated oil changes for diesel will cost considerably more, but you dont do them at the same intervals either. My dad has the old 7.3 ford diesel (2002) and chipped was getting 4-5 mpg more than my 1/2 gas chevy (2006). Of course when he loaded the 4 horses up and quick tuned it, we were getting the same. lol

Well this thread has covered a lot of good info.....including never buy a Vette or Porsche if you can't afford tires every 15K miles LOL.....but I found a truck today and went completely different way. Found 2004 2500 Dodge Ram with Hemi that I could not resist the deal. You Chevy and Ford guys don't be a hater...my money and I am thrilled with my purchase.

Congrats! Tha't the only thing Dodge I would ever consider owning. And then only if it was a Hemi or a Cummins.
