A small block 350 would outdo them any day.

Defiantly keep the Cummins. But as far as 6.5's reliability I worked at Caltrans (State Road maintenance) They had six 6.5s most of them had over 300k on them and they still had lots get up and go left. Thats good considering everyone there drove all on the equipment like they stole it.:c:

i think im gonna stick with the cummins as much as i want a 4x4 idk if i want to go back to a half ton wich is what i had found.

6.5 are not bad at all but a cummins is a better engine |
my opinion as someone whos father has had every diesel chevy there is and current 95 dodge owner , is that the cummins may be a better motor but chevy is a better overall package.this probly does not help but both trucks have their advantages.:tu:
