Ford = best truck
Cummins = best motor
4r100/47re = best BUILT transmission
Ford and Dodge both use good axles... Dana 50's, 60's, 80's and Sterling 10.25"/10.5".
I'm driving a 99 dodge 1500 318 right now since my friend took my 7.3 F250 to Texas to tow his girlfriend's car home. This thing has about the cheapest feeling and looking interior of any fullsize pickup I've ever been in. It's surprisingly loud inside, and the A/pillars/mirrors leave much to be desired. The dash is cracked all to he11 and it's rusting bad on the doors and tailgate. It's only got 83,000 miles on it too and was driven by a grand pop and garage kept for the first 70 some thousand miles...
My biggest problem with my 7.3 is the PMR rods... I'm limited to 400 rwhp which I'm only injectors away from at this point.
