[QUOTE="snowflake, post: 137992, member: 152"] The only issues I have ever seen with the Dodge's is transmission and electrical. I towed a then brand new 2011 Dodge 3500 that had the transmission literally explode, the only thing left was a few pieces of the bell housing and wires. I've seen a lot of them have issues with the fuel injection (what I'm not sure, I only tow them) where they spit and sputter and build no power, guessing FICM. They Chevy is the least desirable in the bunch to me, even though I love the isuzu diesel and the allison auto, the fact that its IFS is a big turn off to me. And the one that bugs me the most doing lots of towing/hauling, is the small fuel tank, stopping for fuel every 200 miles or so The newer Fords are ok they just get asstacular mileage due to the fact that the fuel injectors fire twice during the 4 cycles to help it run cleaner. The older 6.0 can be built to be a reliable, hard pulling fuel efficient engine, it keeps surprising me when I ask a diesel shop what engine they want in their trucks and its the 6.0, yes it has issues out of the box but they can be fixed.
