Never said they had trans issues lol. I had a 6r100 that took 600 rwhp daily for 3 years. Granted I went through 2 sets of head gaskets, 2 turbos, but the trans held up!Ford diesels have never showcased a unreliable transmission. Far from it really. 20 year old trucks that’s been worked hard and halfway taken care are still running like a dream. Your motor Might have to be bulletproofed. You might loose a turbo in there somewhere. But, you ain’t loosing a transmission.
only bought the truck because of the Cummins, and would never buy that truck with a gas motor. They know the rest of the truck is junk.
I was a NV and G56 manual guy until they quit offering it.The older 48re are actually super reliable with stock power. I had a built 850hp rated put in mine cause I added injectors, turbo, and tuned it. They are bullet proof once you build them.
I’ve had both as well. Having a built 48re changed everything. I won’t own another stick after having a built 48. They are night and day from stock, and will hold as much power as you can possibly throw at them. I hated loosing boost between shifts. The built auto can shift faster then I ever can and stays in the power band.I was a NV and G56 manual guy until they quit offering it.
Seems to not be the case. But I don’t want to be stuck with a half ton forever.New reliable 3/4 ton? is there such a beast.
That is sweeeet! How’s the mileage?
15 avgThat is sweeeet! How’s the mileage?
How’s it been treating you so far?
My dad has had nothing but problems with his 23 F350. I wish you the best of luck. Nice looking truck!
Perfect so far but only have 2000 miles on it. Bought the Ford bumper to bumper for 5 yrs due to all the tech.How’s it been treating you so far?
Have yall had any other issues besides the AC? And what year are the trucks?Not the 2500 Chevy gas trucks. I have them as fleet vehicles. Every one of them has had to have the AC replaced before 30,000 miles. The entire system. Have one that’s been in the shop since February. Got it out last week and it ran for one whole day and it died in a job site.
