Re: Sweet Cummins

because its the new craze, just like 22s and bigger wheels, mid duty trucks, black paint jobs, Rat rod look.

a cummins is great motor but its overrated and overpriced

a 6.2/6.5 are great motors too but is very underrated and people all the time give them crap over half of them proberly never driving or owned one just because some one had a problem with them and its told over again. it is what it is and nothing more

its the same argument V6 vs V8 or R6 vs V8 in trucks and cars or import vs domestic

oh and by the way there are alot of engine manufactures that makes engine that will last just as long as cummins
im driving one thats close to 800 thousend miles on original drive train

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: Sweet Cummins

I agree that diesel engine prices are over rated , look at Europe , just about every automotive manufacture has diesel powered cars and trucks , most its just standard of the base price .
In alot of cases its the Gasoline engine that cost more than a diesel .
