New in WA, Powerstroke or Cummins?
I'm about to either trade my dirtbike and street bike or sell them to put towards a truck, and cant make up my mind on powerstroke or cummins. I had a 97 Dodge ram 1500, loved it but hated the gas mileage, and my dad ended up trading it in without telling me for a new truck.
So... my question, what is more reliable, but can get some good power and still get decent fuel mileage? I'm looking to get a 99 and up Powerstroke, or a 98.5 and up 24v cummins. My dad had a 03 6.0 powerstroke and I loved it, but I like the body style and sound of a cummins more. Tell me your thoughts guys. Thanks |

If you like a Cummins better then there is your answer.:tu: A 7.3 PSD is a good choice as well. I am not a fan of 6.0s but with some mods you can get them to be pretty reliable. Of course I would get a Cummins myself but the choice is yours. |
Love my 6.4 and with just tune, exhaust, and intake it runs like a bat outa hell and pulls like a sumbitch. My my friends I haul hay and tractors with cant keep up in the hills or once we get rolling. I think my friends cummins comes out of the hole better with a load though. But I wont get rid of my 6.4 for any truck out there to date.

I had a feeling it was you..
Don't get a dodge. :td: |
I actually found a guy with a 99 Straight cab powerstroke 6-speed with 195k, hes willing to trade for my dirtbike and street bike. If it works out, It would be like getting the truck for 4,100 haha
