The Powerstroke diesel in Ford f250 and f350 is awesome. I average
17mpg. It always starts (even in below zero Wisconsin winters).Power
to spare. The only problem I had was a cam position sensor needed to
be replaced.

Subject: Engine for Towing
I am looking at a couple diesel options for a tow/track support vehicle
and
wanted to enquire as to the relative merits of Chevy v. Ford.
This would not be a new vehicle but an early to mid 90's. Looking at
vehicles like a Ford Diesel 350 or a Chevrolet K3500. Would be used for
towing both open and closed trailers. Load would be cars like either my
'88 944, '58 TR-3, Formula 500 or my son's kart.
Obviously either motor should be able to pull that type of load so I
guess
I am really looking at reliability and maintenance issues on these
motors
with mileage between 60k and 150k.
Thanks!
