trip's post does remind me of a problem that came out of several Dodge trucks that were on a project I worked on. The front ends would fall apart. When I got mine to the service dept in Kentucky. The tech was amazed I made it from Atlanta to Kentucky because the ball joints, literally, fell apart on the ground. My next one started falling apart before 40K. None of them were diesels though. They were pre-'05 models too.

I have never had any issues with the front end on a Ford. Nor even heard of a front-end issue with Ford trucks. Doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Which decade/model was that, trip?

it was a 2001, i had looked at buying a dodge truck for 10 years because i do love the look and the ride itself is good, and every time it was the same way on all different series, since i tend to keep my stuff a long long time, and the market is so deep u can find steals, except ala the problem

buying a used ford truck in our area is a pain in the ass, on one side folks who beat em too piss, and the other real work trucks, and the good ones have been tricked out too where if u don't like it exactly it sucks, cause they all price em high high high

TweetMAN DIESEL IS GETTING WAY TOO EXPENSIVE TOO! CONGRATS!
