Re: Anyone gone with a diesel

If you go to the link you will also find the ford v8 diesel was second in line with the cummins trailing far behind in the up hill with a load. And I do stand corrected on the share holdings with ford was not aware they were purchased back. Look I like diesels period but to say the duramax is a lame motor is wrong w/ 660 ft lbs of torque its by far the most powerful diesel on the market in light duty trucks, and I have driven them all more than 10 different ones from each manufacter the duramax is by far the best, and the 6.5 is not a bad motor, turn your boost on your cummins down to 7 psi and lets race w/ a trailer. I can pull my buddies cuddy cabin 21 ft boat uphill 7% grade at 75 with no problems boat and trailer weight is 8,000. Like I said there all good in my book I like diesel it just my opinion and experience that the duramax out performs.

theside00 sorry for trashing your post do some reserch and make a choice off your own opinion and see what fits your budget and needs and run with it,

Terraizer I heard the same thing about the Ford, hopefully the come up with something good the new powerstokes are having a lot of issues, but thats common when you change to new stuff.

rwgregory dodge has a contract with cummins and I don't think its expiring anytime soon.

BarryB watch the show pinks Bully Dog built a cummins with 62 lbs of boost twin turbo propane injection all there programmer goodies and it still only made 800hp, and the thing came apart on the 4th run good thing they won due to the small block chevy truck runnning out of nitrious
