I have a friend that has the 1500 diesel, he loves it. Wont pull like the cummings, powerstroke or duramax but its pretty strong and he gets decent mileage with it.True about the diesels, However, I do not drive a diesel at the moment. Thinking about the Ram 1500 diesel in a few years, we'll see if it pans out as a good power-plant, but that is a topic for another thread. love talking cars/trucks though.Stick with the Ford. only thing worth the money in a dodge is the Cummings.A Chevy by any other name, is still a peice of crap. Oh, forgot, I am more of a Ford fan, though I am taking quite a liking to Dodge lately. Tough to beat an inline six for diesel power.... And the Hell Cat...wow look out corvette, someone's got your number.oh, and GMC thank you very much.. (chevy with a better interior package)Better look at the brake lines while you are there. LOL It is a Chevy after all.usually Im lazy and just take it for service. You would think the stealership would know to look.
Speaking of lazy, my ABS light came on last week, so being lazy I took it to a Mr Tire. (first time I tried a mr tire.)
they came back with a quote for a new front hub (with bearing and sensor) the price of the hub was quoted at 650.00 with 240.00 to install. 890.00 total. Before I said yes or no I called the dealership and asked the price for the new hub. 400.00 and they would install for 205.00.
I'm lazy, not stupid.
Will spend the 20 minutes or so and replace my own damn hub. been wanting to play with my new torque wrench anyway.
All kidding aside, I am suprised that you didn't know to check brake lines already. You must have some understanding of vehicle mechanics to change a hub.
and when it comes to Ford or Chevy, the Duramax out performs the Power stroke, and the chevy has the Eaton G-80 differentials, ford cant touch that.
