[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 619362, member: 8978"] I think the 7.3 was a fairly good engine...except for the pricey injectors that usually have to be replaced! The 5.9 Cummins is a very good engine...the problem was Dodge forgot to build a truck around it! The 6.4 Ford is a piece of junk as is the 6.7 Dodge. A couple of years ago I used a 3 ton Ford with a straight six deisel for a spraying truck. Very good lugging power and really good fuel economy. The engine was built in Brazil. Would have bought it but the owner didn't want to sell...just rent it out one year while he was out of the country. Years ago I read an article about some guy in BC who was putting used industrial 4 cylinder deisel Mitsibushi engines in trucks and the people who were buying them were blown away by the power/fuel efficiency. The rumor is Nissan will probably have a one ton dually deisel on the market within a year or two? It will be interesting to see if they can build a working truck with that built in Japanese quality?
