Re: [RC] New Chevy/GMC Diesel vs Dodge Diesel - Ferne FedeliAccording to Consumer Reports though, the Ford has been the most reliable for the past several years... Ferne Fedeli PS Of course, we have a Ford! LOL. We're in the market for a new truck next year though and are between a Dodge and another Ford... The main problems we've had with the Ford have been transmissions and blamed that on the fact that it is an automatic. We're still unsure about whether to go automatic or stick on the new one. Susan, I can't speak from both sides of the fence (I have a 2000 dodge diesel), but when I buy stuff like this... (or expensive software like Oracle), I take into account the bug factor. And then there's the rest of the truck. You also might try to find online those "fix it" notes all the manufacturers put out for the mechanics. The Chevy / GMC had thousands of notices, the Ford had hundreds, and the Dodge had about 160 or so. So there's that too. Of course the engine and longevity is what you want to buy here.
