Default 2003 2500 dodge H.O or 2004 f250 6.0

Ok guy i feel this is another common thread. I used search and no dice. Any way. Im stuck between the two...

I love ford but kinda sketchy on the power stroke.
I love the cummins but kinds sketchy on the truck!!
Any way. The 2003 has 125k mikes. Its a h.o.
Te 2004 psd has 104k miles and its a reg 6.0 WITH one of the banks power packs on it.

2003 Dodge ram 2500 5.9l HO Cummins diesel 4x4
Clean title in my name.
YOU WILL NOT FIND A TRUCK IN BETTER CONDITION FOR THE YEAR.
Clean truck no dents. paint is in great condition

Laramie edition. Leather seats dual power front seats, seat heaters. A/C is ice cold.
Wood grain package. Pro comp rims, leveling kit and 35" nitto terra grappler tires (85% Thread). Interior is perfect, no rips or tears.
125,000 miles. VERY reliable
Meticulously maintained.

I can get 20 MPG going 55 on freeway. 17 MPG average in city.

Magnaflow exhaust and Bully dog tuner. It is pre-cat so you can do any exhaust mod.
48re Built transmission; Upgraded billet Servo/Accumulator, billet strut, new intermediate band, billet anchor, Trans-go shift kit, Borg-Warner upgraded solenoid and transducer.
Goerend Triple Torque Converte


SECOND TRUCK

The second guy just sells cars that he bought at a auction he doesnt know what hes twlking about. But i checked out the truck and its pretty sweet



Ive been looking and debating on which two types for 2 months!
Im looking for a fun truck, that is semi easy to mod to make big power later on! I dont really like how the psd sounds at Wot.
The cummins sounds sweeet. But the ford is a better truck? When i drive around the mountains all insee are cummins. Few psd. When im in the city all i see are psd's... Im stuck!!!

I think if you look thru both tech sections and read about the problems each has your decision will be an easy one.

the banks kit would make me feel uneasy about the 6.0 and a supercharger? really? there are a handful of 6.0s with that and this isnt one of them, tires dont match, and IMO they want too much. If I had to choose between those two I would take the cummins

Cummins is easier to work on for the average mechanic.
