She is just bruised up air bags saved the day. she flew through four lanes of traffic into a ditch and launched off the back side into another ditch full of water. the police officer that was behind her said she should have been a pilot the way she landed the car. I sat in bed last night thanking god her and her friends weren't hurt or killed.

Glad to hear she is going to be ok Greg. If it was me I don't think I would want to drive anywhere for at least a few weeks after an accident like that though.

I've looked at those trucks and actually like them. Only 1 problem though. I clean parking garages and have to stay under 6'5" with my truck. My F-450 barely clears some of the ones I have to go into to clean.

It's the new 6.7L diesel. I got rid of the 6.0L diesel because it was giving me problems. I hate to admit it but I think the 6.7L is worse than the 6.0L in my opinion. My truck was one of the first ones made though in 2011 when they went to the 6.7L

Vince I sure hope the 6.7 is better than the 6.0's were,I just bought a brand new f-250 earlier this year.Its been great so far.
 
It's a series of isuzu medium duty trucks the engine is 300k rated before a rebuild. I have had 2 diesels an the one I have now is gas due incident of my bad luck.Never had one let me down knock on wood.They are rated up to I think 15000 to 18000 if you get the hd one.The heavier duty is the nqr.

Most of the problems are with the cab/chassis models. Ford detunes them and puts a different turbo on them. My truck is rated for 300 HP with 660 ft lbs of torque versus 400/800.

I actually thought about going back to a F-250 and putting everything on a trailer........not.

Thanks Hal I'll probably need good luck for next year. I just try not to get upset and take everything in stride is all.

A couple of years ago I was at a large truck body company here in Portland. They had a whole bunch of late model cabover Econoline ambulances that they were pulling the ambulance boxes off of and putting them on brand new Chevy cabover chassis'. I asked why and was told that it was because of the high failure rate of the Ford diesel engine. The ambulance company had apparently had enough.

Yeah pulling a trailer everyday sucks.I would like a flatbed myself.
 
I like my daily driver. Roush Raptor. It is a blast.
