The fact that you can modify them very easily and cheap, get over 600lb/ft of torque and decent economy. Can you do that to a 6.2/6.5? And how long will it last??

Every vehicle I've ever owned was a GM, but two. I had a Honda Integra when I was in Japan, and now have my late father's 08 Tundra. I'm a diehard Chevy guy, but would never own a GM diesel over the Cummins.

As for the Dodge not being able to climb a curb, that is pretty sad, but was probly out of tune, needed some pump work. Buddy inlaw has a Dodge that is like that, not all of them are like that.....
i 100% agree. as far as the parking lot dodge, it was probably a trans problem cuz those 47re's or 727s aren't always the cream of the crop, especially behind a diesel.
