7.3 IDI or a 1st gen cummins?
Which one would be a better beginner truck? I am looking for one that would be better as a play and work truck. I have always been a Ford guy, aka anti chevy, but I like the fact that the dodge has a factory turbo. Which one has better parts availability? Which one has more aftermarket? Also which one can be had for less if both were the same condition?

I personally would go with a first generation 12 Valve Cummins. They last longer. They have a stock turbo. You are able to do more performance mods to them. But they are still a mechanical engine so you aren't able to do half as many modifications to them as a computer controlled. But the turbo gives you options. The cummins may be a little more expensive but worth the extra cost.

My dad's going to support me on raising the money(I think). We just got a IH Farmall H today and had to tow it from Sunbury to Lock Haven on I-80 with his 92 6-cylinder 2wd and got 45-50 mph average on a 65mph interstate. I need an upgrade if I want to tow the H over mountains to the shows. If I get the cummins what should be the first mods?
