    I voted for the Powerstroke, but am very biased. I have a 2000 F-350 that I ordered and it just passed 329,000 miles with only normal maintenance items. Valve covers have never been off the engine, change the oil every 5,000 miles and fuel filter about every 30,000 miles. Had 2 others for a while, but I "needed" a Mav and didn't have enough room for everything:rofl:
