You misread something...we were refering to Dodges, not Dmax's with their pan's full of diesel instead of oil/ rotfl
Ofcorse it counts when their broke down to you because that's the only time you get to pass one waytogo
What I know. This is what I know... I come from a small ranch and mining town in southern New Mexico. I've towed with the PSD, D-Max and the Cummins. In my experience I've never had a problem with a cummins or the 7.3 PSD that I drove back in 97 for 6 months, but the 6.0 PSD and the D-Max gave me injector problems. The computer on the 6.0 some how fried itself and the #4 and 5 injectors on the D-Max shi# the bed, so when it came to buy last year I didn't even have to shop around other than what dealer would give me the best price on a Cummins... On my family's ranch we have 2 91 12v cummins and a 95 with over 250,000 HARD miles on them. The bodies look like hell becuse of the brush we have to drive through and what not, but we've never had a problem with them. This is just my experience. waytogo
cummins hands down I'd take the cummins without a question. I bought an 01 then an 05 dmax now i have the 01 cummins an 04 and an 05 cummins and no dmax cause they suck. Trust me on this one my 04 cummins (555) has 123k on it of which about 120k were with a 50ft trailer weighing any where from 18k to 23k. I have as of yet had no problems with abything on the truck. My 01 has 247k on it and have only replaced a rear seal. I put 60k on the dmax replaced 3 injectors and an "allison"
It's not fair to us 7.3l powerstroke owners. Even though there not in Ford trucks now, but if they were your poll would be different.:stir:
It should have been more clear, what "currently available" engine combo. Also, I can't add to the poll after it is started, but you could start another poll and word it how ever you want. waytogo
i have been severly overloaded in my cummins.. and it still pulls just fine. i was pulling about 7500lbs and a stock duramax was pulling about 7200lbs and i was able to beat him up the hills going to yuma from san diego. they spool faster unloaded, but dont have the power. i never came out of 6th.

Hey guys, new to the site and have to say I love it. Just my $.02, I'd have to go with the mighty Cummins. I've got a 95 with 300,000 miles on it, and she still runs the hills like they weren't there. I like the PSD, 7.3 more than the 6.0, and the Duramax, but the longevity and fuel mileage is hard to beat with the inline.
Im going with the duramax and the six speed manual. I have 44000 miles on my 05 hauling small square bales of hay weighing up to 10ton on an 7000lb trailer so i gross 35000lb. I does a very good job and i have had no flywheel problems yet. Reliability is really changing with the new trucks there are just as many problems with cummins as there are the other two around here.
Your right but there arent as many 6.0s on the road as the other two around here there are cummins and duramaxes everywhere you look.
