7.3 L Powerstroke vs 5.9 L Cummins?
First off I don't want any fanboys saying one is better just cause the brand, and secondly I know these are the 2 best Diesel engines so either way it's a win win. My dad has a 2000 F-350 with the original 7.3 engine. It's got about 250,000 miles on it, and it's been very reliable considering it's not taken care of at all aside from the oil and tires changes. Down the road I want to get a truck for myself, but I don't know which one I should I get. I know the 7.3 inside and out from it being in my entire life, but it's also a lot rarer than the 5.9. The 5.9 is easier to get my hands on, but I also don't know much about it. As far as the truck frames go I'd have to say the Ford's body is tougher from personal experience. From what I've heard the Dodge transmissions tend to be the worst between Ford, Dodge, and Chevy. I'd like to know your personal experience with one and/or both.
From a non-biased point of view from the uk
I wouldn't choose the dodge as I've seen a 2.4 diesel land rover defender beating them in tug-of-war which is embarrassing considering the sheet size and power of the dodge with the cummins engine
The Cummins is the best by far.
- Wich is stronger chevy duramax 3500, dodge 3500 cummins or the ford f4500 diesle? I know it says their stuff on the website but witch is strongest. Because ignoring the stuff on their sites witch is strongest. I know chevy has the steel frame too
- What is a better option Cummins or Powerstroke? So my dad and i are buying me a diesel truck and we're both a ford lover but i also love the dodge Cummins. Which would be better to own. Both are not brand new there both used and both have a good history and both only have 150k on them. What would be the better choice? The 7.3L Turbo diesel 1997 ford powerstroke or the 2002 Dodge 5.9L cummins.
- Trying to decide on which truck. 2019 Ram 3500 Limited with a cummins or a 2019 Ford F-350 Platinum with a power stroke? I really like both. With the Ram, you get more for your money and the interior is way nicer and the cameras are way better, yet the Ford has the twin panel moonroof and is a little more fun to drive. I've owned a 2018 Ram cummins and a 2018 Ford Superduty and to be honest, the ford let me down, so i'm a bit concerned. Thoughts?
- I'm stuck between a Dodge 2500 cummins & Ford F250 powerstroke? I'm look at a year of 2006 to 2015 at a Dodge 2500 cummins or a Ford F 250 powerstroke what is the better?
