[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 647199, member: 2862"] The 96-98 Cummins were 215/440 rated, however pulling is more than the raw numbers. If you'll look at the Powerstroke's torque curve, you'll see that it doesn't start making more torque than the Cummins until well past 2000 RPM (IIRC, the Powerstroke doesn't make more until 2300 RPM). Thats why a heavily loaded 96-98 Cummins will easily outpull a loaded 97 Powerstroke from a dead pull or when you're into the hills. Actually, the 96-98 Cummins would pull with 2001 HO Cummins rated at 245HP, simply because of its low end. jasrnch, if your 97 Powerstroke is outpulling your Cummins, you've got Cummins issues. Unless you're talking very light loads or empty, in which case the V8 was a little revvier due to shorter stroke. The steps between gears on a 97 Cummins and a 97 Powerstroke were pretty much identical. Rod [/QUOTE]
