Cummins reigns

Sorry but if not for the Cummins, I would not buy the Dodge.

The rest are all V8s, 'nuff said there.

Subject says it all, Cummins reigns.

 

Bingo.

 

If you say so...

 

And if it weren't for the Dodge, I'd buy a Cummins.

 

If not for the 6.0, I would have bought a Ford, the truck itself is nicer and I think it looks a little better.

Ahh well, I know I'm going to love my new tow rig anyway!!!

 

I'm wary about the 6.0, but there was no way I could live with the tiny backseat in the Dodge, and the megacab is stupid since it won't come in a longbed or a dually. Oh well, at least Ford is usually pretty good about buying back the lemons.

 

I'm not interested in a longbed or a dually and I don't sit in the back seat, so a QC CTD was just for me.

 

When you have kids that need to sit in a rear facing babyseat, you'll wish you had a real backseat.

Full size diesel powered trucks with shortbeds is something else I think is ridiculous, but I realize that there are reasons that people get them.

 

I'm 5'4", there will be plenty of room back there.

I never haul anything, no need for a longbed and associated wheelbase.

 

If CAT would ever come out with a light duty diesel, all the others would run and hide! waytogo

 

Agreed, the 3116 in my Cat Challenger is a great engine but ever seeing a C7 in a pickup won't happen.

 

I don't think Cat could ever get an engine in a pickup. They're way too expensive.

 

Wasnt there a rumor running around before the dmax came out that gm was trying to get a cat engine but couldnt due to the price tag??

 

I've seen a 3208T Cat engine with a allison trans stuffed in a mid 70s Chevy C30 PU.This was before the big 3 offered diesels in their PUs. The owner was a hot shotter hauling a 40' trailer hauling camper shells for the manufacture.

 

Got Cummins? Amen Brother! GM was looking at CAT to develope their new diesel but I'm not sure what the hell happened.

I'm curious what DC will do in 2007....are we going to see a Mercedes diesel in the Dodge rigs? I'll keep my 2003 for 20 years if thats the case

 

I hope that DC does go with the MB Diesel in 07 and at the same time Ford picks up Cummins :stir:

 

That will probably be the scenario...Would you switch to Ford and follow the Cummins?

 

Well yes do to the fact that I'm a major 73-87 GM fan. The Ford body has alot more to offer me than the Dodge even though I own one with the CTD.

 

Nice little tidbit of BS you just shared with us, thanks!
