Haha, I'd love to have a cummins. This last summer, my goal was to have a diesel, and I was mainly looking at Powerstroke 7.3's and 12V cummins. The Powerstroke gave me the right price, and thats what I ended up with.

the 7.3 is the best out of the fords the 6.0 are the worst. i would only own a cummins best engine out there. they make engines for everthing. i always tell people i never seen a big rig with a powerstroke or duaramax but every other big rig going down the high way has a cummins

We have a 95 at work with an auto. We run superchips on race and it tows all day. Tranny is fine so far.

What about the T444E or MAXXFORCE 7, they are moslty used in medium duty, but there are quite a few used for hevy duty apps. I would have to disagree with the 6.0 bein the worst. It may take a little TLC to become reliable, but i love it, plus it doesnt have that damn uncomfortable dodge interior.lol

If its freshly rebuilt then with just a chip youll be fine, my remanned trans lasted 2 years, had a chip from day one and by the time I had all the mods on my truck that I do now, the trans was toast. It also depends on how you drive the truck

Appreciate the answers everyone.

And I definatly agree on the uncomfortable dodge interior...

4in lift and 33"s?????? We just put 35s on my bros 94.5 with lots of room to spare. You could probably run 37, with no lift, and definatly with a level.

04redstoker i said powerstorkes or duramax are not use in big rigs.

I used to have 35" swampers on, ran em bald, and didnt have too much cash on hand, so... I settled with the 33" A/T's. They look pretty good actually. Much quieter also !

The T444E and MAXXFORCE are powerstrokes. Just different badges for the medium and heavy duty.
