F350 vs. Chevy 3500
Guys I need help - I will be purchasing a 2007 Crew Cab p/up with a diesel engine. The problem is that i can't decide between Chevy or Ford.
Here are the specs:
-2007 Crew Cab
-Diesel
-Auto
-4x4
-8' bed
I currently have an F450 PSD, 550 PSD, F650, a suburban and a Ram 2500 - brand loyalty wasn't my thing.
They are both priced around $35,000 - $37,000.00 keep in mind these are basic work trucks with vinyl and rubber floors.
I've had repair issues with all of the brands, the Dodges have tranny issues, the burban is a 95' so its just normal issues like starter, alt, fuel pump. The F450 PSD has had (3) clutch master cylinders and a trans @ 85K. The 550 has had the standard 7.3 L powerstroke oil leaks and thats about it. The 650 had an injector pump at 30K and head gasket at 43K.
I am aware that trucks will always have the potential for breakdowns. I just wanted some feedback from truck owners who are running the Duramax and the 6.0l Powerstroke Diesel.
Thanks
