Gonna add mine in here also. I have had both ford and Dodge ( still do as a matter of fact) We had a 96 one ton with 4:11 gears and Powerstroke. have a 96 Dodge now with Cummins and 4:11 gears. The dodge will get about 2-4 mpg better than the Ford did. Have a 3/4 ton ford also with 3:73"s? Not sure exactly the ratio but I know they are not 4:11's. I get about 18-19 with it compared to about 15-16 with the Dodge. Loaded gets less on both as normal. Now we have been Dodge people for going on35 yrs now but I have to admit the Fords to ride andrive better. I think that might be why you see more Powestrokes on the road plus there are people who will drive one brand or another no matter what. The Cummins will pull a load alot better or should i say hold a steady speed better from what i have seen but neither one is a bad puller at all. Just went and got an Oliver 1800 with the 3/4 ton Ford a few weeks ago and averaged about 12 mpg (200 mile round trip with empty trailer going up) I had to down shift a couple of times going up some hills that he Dodge would have pulled good but I was still impressed with the Powerstroke. OH and the one ton Powerstoke, I brought a Oliver 88 back through this same road about two years ago and dang if the 3/4 ton with higher gears pulled better!!! Go figure! On a flat road the difference isn't alot between them but in the hills that 6 cylinder torque is better.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
