Can't decide among the 3.
Dodge cummins gets most thumbs up but I don't like the looks.
Ford second in looks and 1st in ride.
Chevy has best looks but that's it.

Any ultimate deciding factor?...I will be 2 tanking after 36K miles.

d) NONE of the above.

lol... sorry the new ford f-350 4x4 crew cab duelie is sitting out front of the local lot.

I can't tell if its gas diesel or what??? but the sign across the windshield is clear... $35,998

I looked real close... as I drove by... I can't see a bass boat hooked on the back so it just ain't happening...

Hmm.. $35,998? Has to be a gaser.

I have an '06 F250 4x4 Quad Cab Lariat. Only complaint thus far is a slow passenger side window.

And it does not run B-100. Put in B-80 a week ago and it was very sluggish. I'm going to keep it at B50. I also could watch the idiot computer drop MPG with that much BD.

You should read up about the new diesels. They do not do coversions very well. Some folks have been able to but I think its ultra experimental. All this new fangled computers and such. :-)

How about http://www.fordcummins.com/ find a truck you like the looks of and have a cummins put in it.

I personally could care less what it looks like its how it runs that counts. I could not justify a new truck that a was going to void the warranty on, in a few weeks time.

You can get a brand new gas chevy for $15000 without much effort it has a 6 cylinder gas engine. You just have to spend $15000 more to get a cummins put into it. This is still probably cheaper than buying a new duramax. But it might cost $20K to get a cummins in a chevy.

My .02 cents. I personally want a cummins in a Cobra Kit car with every Gale Banks upgrade I can get but that is not practical.

How right you are!

Although it helps to have a friend in the ford service department!

I also bought the extended warrenty to 75K. For me its the computer crap that I like :-)

Okay which were the good years for cummins?
