I just bout a Ford F-350 powerstroke for the Utah derby’s and I would like to see how they hold up. So I was kinda hoping someone on here has ran one hand could tell me the weak points and how there’s held up. Thank in advance.  |

The 99-04 superduties are extremely tough trucks.

They're tough but they have there weaknesses. The frame horns will push to nbn one side or the other in front of the k-member. The rails will cave in behind the k-member inward towards the motor. It will push the rails up and kink the frame right in front of the seam support right at the firewall. And the rear rails will blow between the leaf perches. But we have quite a few with over 10 runs each. And we're talking hard hitting runs.

Thanks. I have put all my time into older trucks like the 65 dodge D200. I’m just hoping this will hold up just as good.
