Watch out for the new 2011 Fords, they are looking real good. Reports of lower 20's for fuel economy are coming back. To bad they are so expensive . These new 6.7's look real good

And they, having tasted the new, spewed it from their mouths and turned back to the old.

I am waiting for them to be released full tilt. I have a sneaking suspision an all ford in house diesel, with intake and exhaust switched is gonna be a real headache. that and the "diesel exhaust fluid" fill up at every oil change (7 gallons at $7 per gallon adds $49 to an oil change of 1 $20 filter, 13 quarts of oil and labor).

It looks great on paper, but most dodges look good on paper.

Hey punkmechanic, I know I've seen your truck around town, but it's always on the west side. I doubt anyone else has that particular setup. Did see a custom rig the other day, but it was all shiny. It was a mid-90's extra cab short box with F350 emblems and a D60 front. Nice lift, big fat exhaust exiting in front of the right-rear tire.

Did not GMC go the way of Studebaker and Pontiac with the recent GM purging ??

I'm quoting the sales from the Ford News I get every month, nothing is listed for GMC. Not sure they even make a GMC anymore.

I think Ford out selling Chevy, GMC and Dodge combined isn't anything new. When my brother and I were kids, late 80's, we used to count trucks on the road. Me counting Fords won over my brothers bowties, GMC, and dodges combined every time. He would always want to start counting vans and stuff to gain an advantage. Luckily he's a ford guy now with an 05 Excursion PSD, "95 F250 4x4 PSD, 86 F250 4x4 IDI, 85 F150 300 I6, and one GMC 4500 Duramax with a hooklift dumster system on it. He owns a farm to justify these trucks.
