I think the Gm issue was not strength but weakness of the frames that was the issue, so of course it could result in the same outcome. I remember seeing a few issues of overloading the early frames and them bending in the middle. I had an 88 for close to ten years and over 200k in mileage and it was a very good truck compared to anything available at the time . I mentioned the Ford situation because now we are talking about $50-60k trucks that could easily be totaled and leave buyers in a bad position early in their ownership unless they have gap insurance.
I understand that, and know that they had an issue early on with the 400 frames. Just using it as an example that even after they corrected the early weakness, they were still replacing the entire frame from the types of collisions that used to be able to be corrected.

I don't know if it qualifies as trash talk, but it is Ford bashing.

Actually it's Navistar's fault. Although I guess we can blame Ford for installing 6.0L Navistars.

In their infinite wisdom, unlike GM and Jezus Chrysler they didn't put a speed sensor on the turbo. So when there's an intake leak the computer keeps ramping up the turbo looking for boost. With nothing to push against the unloaded turbo overspeeds and well, you get this.

With speed sensing the ECM knows something is wrong and the truck goes into Limp Home. Without it,.... well,... this one limped home too.

Since I own both, I suppose this is in order...
