I've read the same classifications - but it's not that simple. The EPA uses a light-duty and medium-duty classification that is totally different then the truck engine duty classification uses.
Some Ford-IH diesels are projected to last as long as the Cummins. There is no doubt that the Cummins is built very heavy as compared to other engines used in pickups. That being said - some of the newer Ford-IH engines carry exactly the same duty-rating as the Cummins. The trucking industry rates projected engine life with a B-rating. That is a projection on how long an engine will last with heavy use (not just cruising empty) - before any major teardown. GM Duramax has a B10 rating of 220,000 miles (that means 90% make it, and 10% don't). Cummins 5.9 has a B10 rating of 250,000 miles. The new Ford-IH 6.4 liter has a B10 of 262,000 miles. The older Ford-IH 7.3 has a B10 of 200,000 miles. GM 6.5s - as far as I know - were never tested and rated for heavy use. Odd thing is - the B50 ratings - being a point where 50% make it, and 50% don't. The Ford-IH 7.3 and the Cummins 5.9 are the same at that point - 350,000 miles. I guess that means that more Ford-IHs fail early - but those that make it beyond a certain point last a long time. Another note- is the new compact Cummins V-8s for light trucks e.g. SUVs and 1/2 tons. Cummins claims the new 4.2 liter V-6s and the 5.6 liter V-8s will have a B10 of 325,000 miles.

Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
