After doing a bunch of research on the problems with newer Dodge chassis, and having been a '98 f-150 owner for the past 18 years, I finally decided I wanted to challenge myself to build the best truck without breaking the bank. Newer fords, even with the 6.7 are overly complex v8's and I'm not entertained by ford's powertrain engineering (at least for the engine).
