A lady driver is delivering the F550 diesel to spokane from Minnesota tomorrow. 

Wait... WHAT? I thought you said the best choice was the RAM???

Little elderly lady drove it to Spokane from Minnesota. She said adding DEF was a pain then she thought she was going home but her plan and ticket was changed so off to the airport to fly to Portland to deliver a Peterbilt to someone else. Its a coin flip between Ford and Ram.

Congrats on the choice of the diesel. I am a V-10 guy. Was not a hard choice for me. When i was truck shopping, I knew I wanted nothing to do with the 6.0. The 6.8 V-10 is at the top of the charts as far as reliable, long lasting engines go. Buses, motor homes, ambulances, and pick up trucks all have strong support for the 6.8. They just run well for a long time. 500,000 to 750,000 miles is not uncommon on the bus engines. The fuel mileage is not as bad as the stereotype lets on, but it is a costly event to fill up. Just sent our 2006 ambulance to the shop, with another 6.0 diesel leak today. So far, the bill is approaching $800. So much money has been thrown at that thing, 2 motors, and endless issues. Our next ambulance is being ordered with the 6.8.

I'm a 5.9 Cummins guy and love it. My truck is a 1999 5spd manual with just over 250k miles and getting 20+ mpg. Had to put a new clutch and tranny in it last year and a starter right before Turkey season this year but that is it.my dad bought a 2012 Cummins new and had problems up elk hunting with the exhaust filter being plugged and had to get it services before he made the trip home. The only comment the service tech in Ellensberg made to him was that he needed to run it harder to prevent it from plugging up. Think I will stick with my 5.9 Cummins for along time and rebuild if needed.

The 15 Ford has been sitting in lucerene making money. Hasn't moved in 2 months but  that is normal for the holden mine cleanup this year thanks to a fire. Also they have the biggest excavator in the northern hemisphere along with multiple new giant dumptrucks and other very big excavators that have been rented but aren't working yet since the fire blew up. 1 little ford doesn't mean anything to this project it is still new with smoke damage.

Dodge makes a good motor, its what surrounds the motor that is junk..  I'd go with the ford.

   I drive a 2014 RAM now and would sell it to you in a heartbeat!
