The best way I can describe how to drive these truck is something I saw in a signature on Power Stroke forum. "Load em like a box car and drive em like a NASCAR."
Which is why I believe my g/f's 2004 6.0 has had no problems... It is only used to tow a horse trailer. Which is why it only has 25K miles on it.
