I had a f250 4x4 crew cab that was a rental for a bit and it was a great truck I could do a burnout a mile long.I was almost ready to bite the bullet and get one then I saw one burn to the ground in about 5 minutes for no apparent reason so now I have a 76 Chevy Camper Special.. :flamed

My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch.

Everybody has thier personal favorites,but facts are facts.You will see more F250 &F350's than any other trucks on the road.Hell Chevy can't even design thier own diesels they have to put Jap motors in them.My Superduty diesel has 120,000 mi on it and I've never put a wrench to it exept to change fluids.And the diesel will out tow any gasoline engine and get better fuel mileage.

That's a good one.But it still amazing how you Chubby guys have convinced yourselves that Chubby invented the V-8.Infact if you pick up the book,History of the Automobile,you will find that Chubby has not done much that Ford didn't do first. :jumpie

BUt that's OK some people prefer to be second place duplicators. :laugh

This was found on an Olds site....

The Oldsmobile Over-Head-Valve (OHV) Rocket V-8 was first produced in 1949. Originally named for its principal designer, Charles Kettering, as "Kettering Power". Corporate GM policy disallowed that, so the powers that be, opted for "Rocket Power". The plant where these engines were built was named "The Kettering Engine Plant". The Olds OHV V-8 was the first to be produced in a sustainable quantity.
It was the second mass produced OHV V-8. In 1917 to 1919, Chevrolet produced a 265 CID OHV V-8, but production ceased. In 1955, Chevrolet introduced another, the 265 CID OHV V-8. The first Ford OHV V-8 was produced in 1954.

The first serious attempt at a commercially viable V-8 was by De Dion around 1910. Cadillac examined this design as well as the Hall-Scott aero engine, and released their vastly superior engine in September 1914. Cadillac is generally regarded as having the first successful production V-8 engine. They were also the first to introduce an inherently balanced V-8 (quartered crankshaft with integral counterweights vs. a flat 4 cylinder crank). However, none of these were OHV designs.

Oldsmobile produced an "L" head or flat head V-8 from 1916 to 1918 and from 1919 to 1921, but it was a side valve engine, not OHV.

Oldsmobile also built the Viking V-8 in 1929 and 1930. A 90 degree, 81 bhp 260 CID V-8. It used a horizontal valve design with triangular type combustion chambers. The block is a mono-block casting.

Some of the early V-8 engines are of fairly unusual design, beyond the early connecting rods. I believe the 1917-18 Chevrolet Model "D" V-8 was made up of two castings, basically split down the Center line of the crank. They were identical castings that were simply bolted together. Mono-block V-8's didn't hit until much later. Ford said they were the first to make a 'low cost' mono-block V-8, with their inception in 1932. This indicates that one or some of the higher priced V-8s must have been mono-block prior to 1932.

If you read my statement above I never claimed that Ford invented the V-8.I said Chevy did not invent it.And if you research on you will find that Cadillac invented it in 1910 before Chevrolet was ever incorperated into the General Motors in Nov 1911.As the article said Chevy tried to produce a V-8 from 1917 to 1919 but as the article does not say it was a failed attempt to copy Olds.This brings us to 1932 when Ford released it's flathead which was the first V-8 that could be produced that was affordable and RELIABLE! for everyday people to own. They sold so many of them that people today that are not real car enthusiast believe that Ford invented the V-8.And yes Olds also produced the first reliable OHC in 1949 but Ford produced thiers before Chevy.You know the funny thing is we would not be arguing about any of this had the Bankers not denied GMC the backing for purchasing the Ford Motor Company in 1909.

Hate to tell you but the Ford powerstroke 7.3L engine was designed by International and Ford and as you will read below they have been designing diesel engines for pickup use for awhile.But they by no means buy Jap engines for thier trucks. POWER STROKEÂ® DIESEL TECHNOLOGIES
The 10th anniversary of the Power StrokeÂ® Diesel by International marks 10 full model years of the powerful brand in FordÂ® F-SeriesÂ® Super DutyÂ® trucks, from 1995 to 2004. However, the history of the diesel engine relationship is much longer, reaching back to 1982 when International and Ford first teamed to offer a 6.9-liter diesel engine for commercial trucks, and culminating with the introduction this summer of the all-new 2005 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup offering a 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel option with 325-horsepower and 570-lbs.-ft. of torque

By the way Ford has been putting diesel engines in thier trucks since the early 80's.Chevy tried to counter with a diesel right after that but they were such dogs that they droped them until they gave up and bought Jap engines in only the last 5 years or so thats one of the reasons Ford was selling more trucks than GMC Chevy and Dodge combined in the late 80's into early 2000

AzMandella,

I guess it's a good thing I didn't send one of these Ford tailgate stickers along with your other stickers, because I don't think you would use it. Â :rotflmao

BTW, I have an F-350 4X AND an F-150 2X.

GM had diesel pickups in their line since 1978 and Ford since 1983. GM's diesel was manufactured and engineered in house and Ford's was purchased from Navistar.
