oh now were bring strokers into this thread.

Somebody close it please.

 

My stroker was a great truck! Dont make fun!

 

If I were getting one to just mildly mod ie a basic programmer and just to DD and maybe pull something like a boat or camper i'd have a hard time not getting a GMC just for the smooth ride and awesome interior. now If I was going to be pulling the 5th wheel with teh boat behind a lot then I'd get a cummins. But DD and light towing and very light dyno or sled pulling GM is hard to turn down

 

most 7.3s were really good, just slow.

Cant say the same for our 99, only 45,000 miles on it when we traded it for a Dmax and it had: New tranny, t-case, brakes, headgasket, turbo and the trans was on its way out again and the transfer case was broke again.

 

thats really odd for a 7.3 truck. I have always known them to be tanks but like you said slow and really not that good on the MPG department either but always made it from point A to point B pulling basically whatever you want

 

not ours

 

i not saying your was i saying yours is an odd duck of a 7.3

 

according to dodge.com the new 2009 dodge rams all models will come with and ifs standard maybe i read that wrong but thats what i understand so no more solid front axle

 

You read wrong. The 1500's come with the IFS but the solid front axle is one of Dodge's selling points.
In every pic i saw on the dodge site i could see the front pumpkin.

now if we could only get the Cummins in one of these!!

 

Go with the cummins!!! i got an 05 use it in the oilfield and for personal use so i depend on it 24/7! it's never let me down. chevys ride nice, but dodges perform much better!!!
