Tell me more.Yes a lot of trucks up here came with them in the mid 1980's.Good for construction but my favorite is the 12 speed and I hate the 9 speed.

Maddog13407 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 yup, 6 liter piece of shit, explains it all. my work truck is a 07 Super Duty extended cab Lariat 4 x 4. been in garage more than on the road and its only got 132,000 on it. just got it back Monday after its been in the shop for two weeks tracing wires and on its 5th alternator and 3rd set of batteries,. few months ago it was 4 new injectors, last fall it was a new Fuel injection computer that was about 2 grand, before that it was a new computer under the dash, pulls to the left, steering is like an old 1970 Ford F100, loose as hell with all new parts, new shocks, brakes, turbo makes weird noise, trailer brakes rarely work and its a Lariat with built in controller, and to top it off, has no balls. out 99 with 300,000 miles on the 7.3 you can put a 450 John Deere dozer on the trailer and it will walk up a hill like its not there. id gladly take that R600 with 300 and 6 speed to drive Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31871-company-truck/#findComment-193356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
