Hang around, Cummins12V98 will notice this post.....

2009 F450--207K miles relatively trouble free; at 207781, #8 cylinder lost compression, probably from dropping a valve. Too expensive to fix, sold for $9500 and bought a '10 just like it. Running just fine for now, at 77k miles.

I think all the new trucks are 'relatively' trouble-free----a 'fair amount of research' should include the owners' forums for all 3 to see what complaints pop up. From 2011, they all have the DEF fluid, and the other emissions stuff. Just google "GM/Ford/Dodge,Ram owners forums" and the links should come up. Read them all in depth and try to figure out which ones are literal comments, and which ones are just comments/opinions.
TheDieselStop.com is one for Fords
TDR for Cummins
Don't know what the Duramax owners is
