I knew I could wake you guys up!!. Been kinda quiet on here for a while.
I like all brands, but I hate Ford Power Strokes. Don't care what year I hate 'em all. I've been in the rental business for 15 years and all we have ever run has been Ford F450 and F550 service trucks. I could tell you so many problems with 'em till you would laugh. From 1999 until 2004 we didn't have 1 make it past 25k miles without having major engine failure. This was about 10 or 12 trucks. I 1998 I was sitting at a red light in my '97 F450 with only 22k miles on it with the clutch pushed in when the camshaft broke!
This was after a dozen camshaft sensors and 2 computers had been replaced. Not to mention dozens of injectors gone bad over the years.
To be honest on my personal vehicles I've had more trouble out of my Chevys than Fords, but never owned a Power Choke.
