Allan In NE said: (quoted from post at 22:53:46 07/22/15) Duramax is the work truck (has to live outside) and the Power Stroke is the Sunday-go-to-meeting truck. Traded off the two old Chevy 4x4's to get one newer one. Hope it lasts. <image src="http://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/photos/mvphoto24794.jpg"/>

I have watched you tube videos of side by side mountain climb tests both pulling identical weighted trailers, in every test I have seen the Duramax bested the Ford by a wide margin. The consensus was that even though the Ford rated a bit higher in advertised HP the overall driveline was superior at putting the power down. The Duramax exhaust brake was very effecient on the Chev according to the report. This was the latest edition of the Power Stroke that was tested against.

This is and always be a partisan issue with folks on both sides, but I believe from my experiences watching Ford trying to get the diesel right that as some have said the 7.3 is their best effort yet and much superior to their current offering in longevity
