Cummings is probably the best overall truck engine out there but the Ford will out pull the Cummings / Dodge setup fully loaded, on a hill. Cummings will burn less fuel.

Parts are insanely expensive and they just have too many problems. Same with new GM diesels. If you can afford it, get a Dodge Cummins. They cost more to buy, but less to keep. If I could afford the swap right now , I'd drop a Cummins in mine. --------------Robert James Jetton wrote: > Listers, > I am considering the purchase of a diesel truck and would appreciate any and all recommendations/critiques/experiences on the Dodge, Ford, and Chevy/GMC versions. I am looking for one that is coming off lease or roughly 3-4 years old. I've heard good and bad on all three, but would appreciate further input.
