Question Dodge or Ford?
Hi to everyone.
I'm new to this site and I would like to know why you chose the Cummins over the Powerstroke or the Duramax diesel.I own the Powerstroke (First diesel truck) but I see that there is more intrest in the Cummins then the Powerstroke or the Duramax.I also see that the company, Cummins has greater customer support for the Dodge Ram with their engines than Ford/Navistar has.Even this website is better than the PSR subscrption.To me the Cummins seems to be a better diesel but I see more Fords being used in the car recovery/ambulance area.Is this because it's an 8 cylinder?
I chose my Ford because of the Powerstroke engine and Ford quality. Are you happy with the quality as far as fit and finish of your truck.Does your dealer service your needs to your liking.Ford service could be better.I would not buy a diesel that has a aluminum heads(GM).I hear that they are not rebuildable.Also I like the fact that my truck was built in USA and not in Mexico.Does this matter to you.Would you buy another Dodge or convert to a Ford or GMC/Chevy?.Also would you stay with the auto or go to the six speed?Any help would be great.Joe
