No denying that the cummins 12 valve was and is a good engine but can't say the same of the shipping crate they come in.
As for the fords i just don't like them and even less working on them. My son has a ford 6 ltr , been in and out of my shop more than he drove it. i quit working on that contraption and told him to either trade it off or fix it yourself, i'm done
Maybe it a is because i been used to the 6.5 for so long and know them inside out and i can reach most of the engine without having to climb on like one has to do with the other 2 brands that i'm more inclined to like them.

If i wanted to pull heavy loads on a dayly basis I would buy a truck that can handle it for the abbillity to stop that load and not for pulling power alone and AFAIAC neither of the 3 brands pickup trucks pulling a trailer fall in the safe slam the brakes stopping distance category
I dug the other day a cummins 12 valve out of a dodge,..took me 2 days,.what a nightmare that was :roll:
