The current Duramax will easily stomp the crap out of the 6.0 PSD. The Duramax makes more power (35 more at a lower RPM), more torque (80 more, & again at a lower RPM), has higher fuel pressure, MUCH, MUCH better trans, more durable/reliable, etc...

I couldn't find a current spec list for the 6.0PSD but here's one for the Duramax. It's clearly a superior engine but it's in an inferior truck. The F250 itself is a far better truck than the Chevy 2500.
I can't afford a $40000 3/4 ton truck, but I sure do want one...

We have sold 8 for 2005
