Really depends what you want I think. The DAMX will give you a car like ride but the Cummins is very dependable and is designed to work hard. The harder you push it the better it gets. Personally, cummins 2004.5 would be my limit to steer away from the enviro junk on board.

well I guess its too late for me to say get a CC/SB Dmax.

Suprisingly a stronger motor in some ways over the cummins. But Im talkinghigh performance applications.

For a good strong running daily driver you would have come out ahead no matter which one you bought.

inlines sound like inlines, v8's sounds like v8's

I like the sound of a good muffler on a dmax sounds pretty darn nasty... myself have never heard a powerstroke that I like.. but I am biased

good point 2500. A Toyota supra with a big charger does sound like a mini cummins just not as loud.

I dont know why the V8s wrap like they do, they just simply do.
