I'm new here but there looks to be a lot of good information.

I'm currently in the market for a 3/4 ton diesel. I would prefer crew cab, as I will need to haul the kids occasionally. Also would prefer to stay around $16K so I'm think somewhere between a 00-03 with about 100K on it.

I've owned 3 fords(gas) all of which have had weird electrical trouble. So I'm a little leary to buy another one.

I've never had trouble of any kind with the GM(gas) trucks I've owned. But I've read that the Duramax was junk....

I've never owned a Dodge, but I hear the Cummins is the best engine but everything else about dodge is junk....

So one thing is clear somebody is wrong, but who?

Which do you recommend and why? ( FORD, GM, DODGE)

Thanks

I've not heard the Duramax being "Junk" I have heard of injector problems at the 100K mark.
Even so, The Duramax gets my nod for being mated to the Allison transmission.
