2005 Ford Super Duty - The Perfect Swap

A Show-Stopping, Cummins-Powered Super Duty. For some of us, the best you can do is simply just not good enough. After Rob Fante did arguably everything he could to get 700 hp out of his '04 6.0L Power Stroke, he cashed it in for the ultimate Super Duty-one with a Cummins under the hood. "Even with head studs, I just couldn't keep it from lifting the heads, I'd never make the power I wanted with the Power Stroke, and everyone says the ultimate truck is a Ford with a Cummins," said Rob.

What? A lot of them are, but there are a lot of non cummins trucks being built and or running now.

Rob's truck is nice, I've seen it in person and he did a nice job on the install.

sounds like an add for cummins.All engines have weak spots when they reach a certain level,due to de-tuning from the factory.Thats why getting 600 out of a ford is harder then getting 600 out of a dodge.All in all,ive never heard of any problems for the duramax guys!wtf!maybe theyre to embaressed to put theyre weaknesses out there.J/K

When it comes down to it it takes money to go fast ,its just taks less in a cummins.At least for the 1st and 2nd gen trucks.AFC and governor mods will yield 75 free wheel horse power.
