SSEiDriver97, as I said earlier in the thread about Mercury,https://www.gmforum.com/general-automotive-news-126/another-brand-dies-adios-mercury-292306/, I am a die hard Ford fan. I just want to know where you got the info that Dodge and Chevy were using gas, I'm not accusing you of lieing or anything, just wondering. Since I'm a die hard Ford fan, I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut in this thread.

X2. The Cummins 5.9 Rulez. Its construction, materials, design, and longevity can't matched. And it'* been doing it for 26 years since it was first developed as an agricultural engine. Mine has 140k on it an runs as strong as the day it was built. The diesel engine is simple and reliable. And should be left that way How come we don't see older Ford V-8 diesels on the road?. Because Ford takes gas technology and tries to bend it to fit diesel. And casts junk in the process.

I've done the research on this many times.
When it comes to power and reliablity in diesels, every WORKING man who uses their truck for work seems to share a very similar sentiment. The Dodge cummins engine is the best to have for towing and a work truck, followed by the duramax, followed by the powerstroke. For any given year, it seems that the cummins is more powerful than its direct comparisons, and there are other benefits that I won't go into at this time.
