Why does everyone want to put a cummins with a allison in a ford body? They are ugly as **** as far as i can see.

 

Most durable motor withe the most durable transmission in the most durable pickup. It's like taking the strong suit from every brand and combining it

 

Thats debatable.

 

What's debatable about that? I love Chevys and if I had to have a gasser it would be a Chevy. If I was tighter on cash I'd have an old ford with a 7.3 but instead I have a 2003 Cummins because even though I have fierce hatred for dodge there's no debating the Cummins is a beast (not in Stock form of course) but yeah

 

Cummins is good and as a company they build some badass stuff, but its not any better than a dmax. And there isnt anything more durable about a ford truck body.

 

I'm definitely not knocking duramax I've been around some great ones but also a few absolutely terrible ones which is why I couldn't risk buying one. My brother owned what was probably the toughest lmm ever owned he ran a bulldog gt for nearly a 100k miles on the high setting or the extreme. Mechanically sound and trans lasted 94k miles with the tuner and about 100k before that when it was just deleted. Then my other brother had a new 2013 and I'm assuming it was a cp4 problem but went through a driver's side fuel rail every 7-8k miles and he got mad and finally ditched it when it nearly cost him a pickup and tractor when he couldn't pull a tractor out of a burning field and the pickup just died and wouldn't start thank God the neighbor had powerstroke and was able to pull both of them to a road before **** got to bad but that pickup got fixed and traded in the next day and he went back to Cummins

 

Both engines have known issues, every engine ever made does. There is no way around that. Lets just agree they are both equally better than any powerstroke ever made and call it a day

 

You have to give that when powerstrokes run they run like a bat or of hell, but yeah I can't give them the reliability that's there with a cummins or Isuzu

 

anything -anything- can be fast. some engines just make it easier.

My 6.5 will never run with dmax's or cummins. But 250k miles later its on its second truck

As i was typing that i just realized both my 6.5's have 250+k miles on them. cant say that about my 4l80e's lmao.

 

The cummins is a hell of a lot less complicated than PSD or DMAX, PLUS it has less moving parts and its so darned narrow that you can actually see the engine block, belts, fan, and virtually all of the accessories. AND, (I cant believe I just started a sentence with a conjunction.) you can easily get to them if ya had to, without taking things apart jus to get to them. Am I right?
