kryptonite Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Going to need a new truck soon and I want a full size diesel. Might plow with it, probably not but the option would be nice. Mainly looking for gobs of power, and better fuel economy when I keep my foot out of it. I have friends who have cummins and I have friends with duramax and either side is biased haha. I need pros and cons for both please DC SOUND LAB NUT HUGGERCurrently Own 4 - 18" lvl 6s (m3) w/full Carbon Fiber option 2 - DC 5k lvl 4 motor lvl 2 motor On 8/2/2013 at 8:13 PM, n8ball2013 said: this is much worse.

bre2ts Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 i work on cummins diesel engines almost daily and i hate the with a firey passion. i constantly need to realign fuel racks, replace gaskets and switches on them. they piss oil and coolant. granted i our engines go under far more abuse than what you will ever put yours through i still think they're garbage Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armykyle1 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 cummins make power for cheap, but the dodge aspect of the truck is subpar. electrical issues, suspension issues ect. the duramax will make alot of power but cost a bit more. the duramax trucks drive better and will yield better gas mileage. my vote goes to the duramax after having worked on both in various year, and engines styles. but I do like the cummins and they sound sweet with good exhaust, but I'd still go with the duramax TEAM XS POWERTEAM HEAVY HERTZMy build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194454-e46-bmw-build-pos/#entry2914134youtube- http://www.youtube.com/user/armykyle1big build starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJD3 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 pro for cummins its one of the strongest diesel u can get in a pickup truck con for cummins its attached to a shity tranny dont know much about duramax I've heard that repeatedly. I know the first couple years of the D-max had a few problems. They they became fairly bulletproof. I don't know how the ones in the new body style trucks are though since they have all that emissions crap attached. Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

tonedeaf Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 In that matchup, cummins with a new tranny. Thats what the newer Dmaxs' have against the cummins is the tranny. The newest Dmaxs' are badass, I wouldnt want a past gen though. My main choices would be between the 7.3 pstroke (95-03) or the cummins. The 6.0 Powerstroke is a decent engine but has a shit turbo and a problem with the EGR cooler. Once those problems are fixed its smooth sailing. Of course im talking about up'd enginges. New bean turbo/some stage 3 jectors, 4" back with a 5" tip. OM NOM NOM NOM. Dual 45s ftfw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
