+1 on the F-250 diesel. The 1/2 ton is just a car built to look like a truck. I have owned a couple of GM and a couple of Fords, and IMO the Fords are better trucks. On the 1/2 ton GMC Suburban I had used the rear axle was destroyed by the rear wheel bearings going. My mechanic attributed this

Yup, the 4.3 is a sawed off 350 in the Vortex version (hardened valve seats and fuel injection, mostly). An OM 603 turbo produces more hp per cubic inch, and double the torque. Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to
