Granted it is old news! and linked to a Mag. :tttt:

My outlook on the situation:
Congrats to Ford for building their own engine. The numbers are looking really good. I sure hope it works out for them, and have better reliability than the 6.0, and 6.4. BUT, and a huge but, until it has been proven for at least a couple years, or a couple hundred thousand miles, I'm not sold on it.
The D-Max has been rocking pretty strong for a goodly few years now. If you told me I had to choose one truck, using the engine as my decision making, I'd leave the blue oval behind. Even though I'm driving away with 3 HP less. 3 HP more is not worth the Urea hassle, especially in cold climates.

As far as I know the 2011 Dmax has Urea too. At least here in CA.

Yes they have urea,only Cummins has none."The Duramax laid waste to Cummins and Powerstroke" say no more.

Ya, Cummins is sucking hind tit for '11, and the D-Max is laying waste. At least that's the way its been in all the reports I have seen.

i wonder how much it will take before chrysler quits F****n around and lets cummins crank the engine some more. its like the execs. at dodge are not even in the same class as the ford and gm crews. people want the power that these engines are capable of producing. Ford and GM understand this what is Chryslers problem?

BTW ima die hard Dodge guy and im watchin all this go down in awe that they are fallin so far behind :argh:

Its not Chrysler holding Cummins back, its the other way around.

Also, The Cummins is the only engine entering the 2011 year relatively unchanged. The PSD is brand new and the Duramax has a lot of significant changes. It will be interesting to see how it all works out.

Horsepower numbers aren't the whole story. Though that fact escapes most people. When the 6.0 came out it outran the Cummins also. How did that turn out?

Chrysler/ CUmmins........KNOCK, knock!.....but i know you guys are turning screws;]
