Default Powerstroke guys always bashing on the Cummins 5.9

I just cant believe how hard headed some of the power stroke guys are and how they believe stories about the cummins that isn't even true..

I agree they both have there problems But....

Please discuss..

The Cummings is a under powered slow POS that isn't even a good paper weight

Cummins is KING! Been on the scene since 1919!

Can't argue against that PS or DMax folks.

Mines running low 15s in the 1/4 mile @ ~90mph and its a manual and I'm in high elevation, which is a considerable difference compared to sea level. I think thats pretty decent for an 8k lb truck
