Cummins sound!Detroid sound!Powerstroke sound!Are you guy's kids? I think everyone nows that the Chrysler product is garbage!!!And we have a great truck - Ford with a great engine - Powerstroke and with a great engine sound too !!! If some body don't like that,go to Dodge forum.They are a big funs of Cummins but don't think they are happy with Dodge truck itself.Don't let me wrong I like Cummins,but whats wrong with Powerstroke? Its a great engine ,if you know,of course , something about diesel engines.

Whats wrong with the PSD?
1. Crap Mileage
2. lack of low end power
3. constant injector failure

Were you drunk when you posted last?

1.New Cummins have almost same mileage like Powerstroke.
2.Its enough power to do a job like Cummins.
3.Maybe you find it in 6.0 but not 6.4.


"Were you drunk when you posted last?" - Sorry,don't understand you here.

Your thought process seemed a little erratic, like a drunk persons would be. But I'm thinking thats just how you post... anyway-

The 6.4 gets HORRIBLE mileage, my dad bought an '09 F350 6.4 auto dually and is lucky to get 10 MPG loaded and 13 empty. My '08 CTD auto 3500 dually gets a shade under 16 empty and around 12 loaded (and by loaded I mean somewhere between 14-18K).

The PSD (6.0 and 6.4) have adequate power but have to rev so high to get a heavy load moving its not even funny. I would think that the constant high RPM's would be a lot of the reason the 6.0 had so many injector problems (mine had a s#itload) and why the 6.4 has so many turbo problems.

I wish they had never gotten rid of the 7.3

OK,I understand what you mean.About my post...maybe I write not so good like everyone,thats because I'm from another country....so..anyway..OK,my question is :You drive a Dodge,tell me from your experience about truck,is it really so bad quality truck itself or its just favorite words all Ford's man who drive Ford truck to bash Dodge truck? To be honest I so like Cummins,and for me its the best diesel,but why so many times I hear that Dodge truck itself is fall apart?Thank you.

I've driven Dodges and Fords since 1993 when I bought my '93 Dodge 3500 CTD auto. Over the last 16 years I've actually lost more trannies in my Fords than I have my Dodges. The only time I've ever had a Dodge body fall apart around the CTD was a '98 2500 5 speed 4X4 I had. The truck still ran great but the body was shelled, it had 290K miles on it, and they were hard miles.

The CTD does (and always has) outperformed the PSD so bad its not even funny, but Ford keeps the rest of their truck well ahead of Dodge so its kind of a toss up IMO. I use my trucks to pull heavy loads often so the choice to go with the CTD is a no brainer, I had an '07 6.0 PSD and it was the worst truck I've ever owned, couldnt pull for crap, got bad mileage and went thru injectors every 10K. While I'm a big fan of the Ford V10 IDK if I will ever own another Ford Diesel again... unless they somehow land the CTD.

Ditto, if I could find a truck like that reasonably priced I would buy it in a heartbeat.

fonefiddy is gaining momentum as a positive member of FTE.
The Cummins 6.7 isn't all it's cracked up to be. Trying to rest on the laurels of the 5.9 isn't going to cut it for long.

Let's all shake Our heads, and cuss the EPA for ruining a good thing.
