[QUOTE="brandonm_13, post: 618955, member: 7875"] These Cummins engines are the engines that made Cummins famous. Their quality has been lacking since they tried to cut noise, which was just about unbearable if you worked around them much. The 7.3 was probably the best of the powerstrokes, but the 6.0 wasn't terrible. It was just designed to sell by out torq'ing and out horse-powering the competition when it came out. You could get more horsepower, but the engine rpm's had to be higher, and the turbo sound wasn't as good as the old 7.3 . As far as the Cummins outlasting, so far they haven't. There is a much higher percent of powerstrokes on the road than cummins from the same era they were built. I'm not knocking the engine by any means, but it's an engine designed for SALES, not for work like in my uncle's rig. The bodies of the Dodge have always given more of a problem as well. Seems they put eveything they had into the engine, but forgot about the rest of the truck(I'm not speaking of the last couple of years, don't have experience since they changed styling.) [/QUOTE]
