I beg to differ. In my opinion, there is absolutely no diesel better
than the Cummins Turbo Diesel. It has nothing to do with Mopar. It's not
even produced by Mopar. If I'm not mistaken, Ford owns Cummins... so
maybe you're thinking Cummins too... Those Powerstrokers cannot compare.
The non-stroker Ford Diesels cannot compare. Not in power and especially
not in gas mileage. No where near in gas mileage. A 3500 Ram with a
cummins can get 20mpg with no trouble. The same powerstroker gets around
16mpg. Again, my opinion. I've put alot of miles on a Cummins Diesel and
had absolutely no trouble. Have 'heard' of quite of bit of trouble with
the powerstrokers.
