[QUOTE="OldMaiconut, post: 300829, member: 22933"] I can chip in on the Dodge frame problem. In my business we ran a fleet of 1 ton trucks with 14 foot reefer bodies on them. We used Ford Super Dutys with the 460 gas motors, and also had the same in a Powerstroke. We decided to try the Dodges for a change and got 2 96 Cummins. One day one was pulling into the yard empty and as the driver was backing in to the dock, the rear window exploded. The frame had bent right behind the cab, allowing the box to come in and take out the window. We looked at the other one and the top of the frame rail was brginning to buckle. Dodge wouldn't stand behind them. We had to find a frame shop that would staighten and plate them to reinforce the weak frames. I later looked at a Ford and a Dodge chassis side by side.... No comparison! The Ford is built like a truck, the frame at least twice as thick as the Dodge. Talking to the frame shop, he said the Dodge problem was well known. Said the guys using them for tow trucks had them bending the other way! I just bought an 02 F250 Power Stroke last week. I never considered the Dodge. [/QUOTE]
