Ford had the International Harvester diesel problems. I saw Dodge pickups at work with the frame bent behind the cab. My son has been rebuilding his Dodge front-end since he bought it, well used. I heard they are now better.
I don't know how Dodge hits those numbers. It's like that story that never goes away...a 350 is the same as a 250 except the tag. I don't know. What I do know is what that yellow tag says. That is what the state trooper will go by. And for sure that is what the lawyers and insurance companies will go by.
