Cummins Turbo Diesel News...

Just got the Cummins Turbo Diesel e-news and really have to believe that they don't drive drive the Dodge trucks. I pull a 9000lb travel trailer and here in Arizona this thing doesn't have any more power that my 95 Ram diesel had.
I wouldn't have to downshift two gears to hold 50 on the 6% hills and it got better fuel mileage and it did all this with 3.55 gears. My 6.7 has 3.73 gears so it should hold the hills better. FYI, it has the BA flash and I really wonder why they do all these flashes. I know that they don't help power or fuel mileage. Just my ranting.
