Hi everyone,
Like Barry and Carbon, I'm considering upgrading, and I'm concerned about the new diesels. I'm doing it mostly to improve safety, and to make it easier for my wife to be able to drive safer than she can with our 02. She doesn't get the shifting and Torque Converter Lock Up Switch things when in the hills or mountains. The new Tow/Haul mode tranies and the better HP/Torq of the new motors is very encouraging - along with the new stability controls.
I've looked at the Maxed out F150 5.4, the F250, and the Chevy Duramax. I'd have to change the seats out in the new F250's, as OEM's don't work for me anymore - as in no protective headrests for folks of my 6'4" frame, as my 02 has.
My 02 has 75K trouble free miles as set up in my sig. To keep it, I'd want to BTS the Trans, and upgrade the Turbo, but that would not help the driving issues my wife has. It would make it stronger for easier towing though.
What to do ????????????
