Yep were being babies, and your not at all so self centered that only your opinion matters.

You kinda have to expect the Ford brand loyalty on a Ford site. FWIW, I like Dodge trucks. Few of my buddies drive them and are around the same age as my truck. They've all lasted just fine. For the most part, a vehicles reliability is all about how you take care and maintain them. Some will just cost more and need maintenance more than others.

I'm an avid camper here in MD and we have some decent mountains (hills to some people, I know). Most of the trucks I see towing the big 5th wheel campers are Cummins powered Ram trucks.

 

Cummins is a totally different class of engine. They were made for farm/tractor use. Better engine over all than the others if you ask me. Heck we have a massive cummins generator powering one of the buildings on campus. If I want a diesel and had the money to buy whatever I wanted... There would be a new Dodge 3500 in my driveway. Engines ONLY... Cummins is a better all around. Leave out transmissions. Engine to engine I would say it is one of the simplest and most effective motors you can buy in a diesel truck.

 

Truck guy you are right the ENGINE is good but the front end parts are not neither are the transmissions. lets not forget some of the engines were crap too doll rods anyone??

i think for needs to make a Stright 6 diesel ive always said they should have turned the 4.9L gas motor into a diesel it would run forever like the gas one but it was have a crap ton of Torque because it would be a diesel

 

Yeah it's amazing what that I6 can do... I love the sound of the cummins

If you haven't checked out this site, it is worth a few looks

This truck is my favorite

 

so sad they do that i say keep ford stuff with fords. IMO.

lol cummins sound like garbage trucks to me. alot of kids have them around here stacks 6" side exhuast you name it they all sound like its garbage day.

 

Who's snibbling Mr. Defensive ? You need to go over your posts, -I wouldn't be leaning over your keyboard. You take the cake in the whining department, -that's for sure.

 

Your all wrong the best diesel is the hercules multi fuel 478CI I6 that came in the 2 1/2 and 5 ton military deuces! it can run on diesel/gas/hair spray/WD40 ANYTHING but AV gas lol.



my buddy has a 6x6 M135A2 it gets 12MPG not to bad for a truck from 1971

 

why would you get a new dodge, i havent heard/seen much good in the 6.7 cummins..id like a 12v or first gen 24v in a 2005'ish 3/4 ton

 

The 6.7's seem like decent engines from what I hear. I joined the cummins forum so I can learn more. I like the new body style. If my dad ever offers me his, I'm gonna ****** it up. He has put some oem 2011 pieces on it like the cab lights and wheels. It's one of the nicest ram's I have ever laid eyes on

 

Ok sure.. Well just like everyone else, your entitled to your opinion. Without a doubt the Ford would be the ultimate truck if it had a cummins I6 imo. But it doesn't. Brand new Dodges are nice imo and they have a badass, HD motors. Thats kinda the heart of a HD truck i feel like.. maybe also the reason one might buy one. Imagine.. buying a heavy duty truck because its heavy duty?!? I guess the interior and such is what makes a HD truck the best..

 

Yea your right i just thought maybe some other people could appreciate good engineering, even if it isn't in a Ford..

 

4.9 diesel would be awesome!

 

Right.

 

In all seriousness, some of you guys(no names mentioned),the more you post.. the more butthurt you make yourselves look.
