Cummins or Duramax?
Hey everyone
I am new to the site as well as to the diesel world. I am in the market currently and have been doing some research on the pros and cons between the Cummins and Duramax. I don't have a specific truck that I am looking at right now but I am probably looking for the year of '05-'08ish. Mileage I would like to see 80k or less.
Until summer rolls around again I won't be doing any towing. And once summer comes along I'll be towing some smaller trailers. Like a quad trailer and camper. I'm not so concerned with towing as I am with quality. I come from a Chevy family and my dad and uncle both have Dmax's with the allison tranny. But I have heard some things from others that the allisons aren't the best.
I know a lot comes down to preference but is there one that has a better track record and such? Thanks guys!

i dont think u can make a wrong choice. the LBZ duramax is a BEAST and the cummins....well it speaks for itself. i dont think u can go wrong with either.... think it all depends on which brand u like.... personally i like cummins.. there alot easier to work on (alot more room I6 vs V8) also i think.
