If you are going to get a Ford I would recommend a 7.3L truck but like stated earlier check out the suspension. because the TTB front end on the mid-late 90s Fords are not very good for a lot of people. a 7.3 gets pretty good mileage and a 5.9 cummins gets pretty good mileage. I would probably say the cummins has a little better mileage but not that much. The Ford, by far, IMO has a much better interior but again thats personal preference.

Like stated previously, just drive a few and see what you like. Then buy one and bomb it. ha

oh and back to price. if you are going to bomb the truck you might want to get a cummins because it is expensive to bomb a powerstroke.

If you want a cheap DD, get a 12V Cummins.
