    i would have to say the new 6.0 powerstoke thats just cause thats what i drive an my truck an trailer i pull around for work weights 24,000 pounds an i pull it pretty damn good i cruise 80mph like its nothing i drove from orlando fl to billings montana at 80mph with not even a half pedal. the only reason i know who much weight im pullin i got pulled over by dot an they put my truck on the scales an told me that my truck is way over weight an gave me a ticket for it but she pulls it just find. ive never drivin a dodge but my dad has a chevy 2500 hd its a nice truck an fast but i still like the powerstoke !

    i saw the conversion plate for a cummins with an allison trans. id like to do that! that would be a hell of a match, and the 7.3 to an allison. either one would be perfect!

    bought a CTD- so that says it all. Ford was having issues w/ 6.0, did my reading and now we have a Dodge in the family because it has a CTD
