Why I'd Rather be CUMMins Than Powerstroke'n

Hey guys-

Last night i discovered a lot about how the powerstrokes- post 99 7.3...Wow it really is sad how complicated ford made the thing. Aside from the uncomforable front and extended cab back seats, the engine is a complete joke. The injectors run the engine, no true injection pump. They have a high pressure oil pump. The injectors are electonically and opened by oil pressure. Geez, what a complicated mess. I like how everything has to come off the top of the engine to work on the powerjoke. Cummins uses significantly less parts and I'm sure the 12v p7100 is a much more reliable design. Very easy to figure out what the problem could be, unlike the powerjokes HP oil system and multiple electrical curcuits.

Finally i'd rather be cummin than powerstroke'n anyday, if ya'll get what i mean

Erik
