It's really sad when a manufacture makes a truck that you HAVE to remove the cab n front fenders to work on the eng .But it really makes a good paycheck when changin a 35.00 part has has over 20hrs labor
Yah, that is craap. Not being able to change my own engines at home freaks me out. I just bought (then returned) an 04 Excursion 6.0, due to multiple engine issues. Ford dealer (mechanic) here, when I called to ask if the 07 6.0 engines were any better, told me that he cannot recommend ANY 6.0 Ford engine to anyone. Heard bad things about the 6.4 also, drove one, what a slow pile. If I want to stick with my Excursions, I am stuck with my 2v V10 trucks unless I can find a nice 7.3 that isn't overpriced to death. In the middle of looking at rigs, I drove an 04 6.0 crew cab long bed, it had been worked over, exhaust, intake, chipped. FASTEST car or truck I have ever driven. Roll-on all the way to redline burnouts in 2nd and 3rd, probably 4th and maybe 5th, but I had nowhere in Boise to drive that fast, lol.
Buddy has a 2012 Dodge diesel, 3000 miles and the turbo is screwed up, probably from lots of short trips/never gettingt warm.
Another buddy told me today that his friend had a 2012 Dodge, interior parts were falling off it as he drove, he sold it and went back to a 99 Ford, lol.
So none of that had anything to do with how sharp they turn, sorry.
But everyone is correct, tires and rim offset have more to do with that than anything. My 36x14.5" tires hit my custom 4-link far before physical steering limitations, 38.5x13.5 tires on same rims were the same but a little sharper, 38x15 on 20x14 with HUGE offset probably turn the sharpest, but the fenders are rubbing before the 4-link on that setup.
. My 12 F-350 and his are both deleted they both pull good with similar mileage, I think his turns a bit sharper.
