Mega

I seriously looked at the Megacab before buying and passed because for me it was too big. I mean the room is nice in lots of ways, but around town at all, it's weird and the AC takes a while to cool the cabin.
The Dodge quad cab is a bit too small and the mega is too big. The Ford was jiust right.

5.9

I think the 5.9 is a much snappier motor around town. Let's face it, around town is one of the places the motor gets taxed. You are better off with that motor.

Sorry bud the 'Aluminum head' deal was an internet rumor when the D/A was first introduced back in 01. The Duramax does have faults but melting Aluminum heads is not 1 of them. If anything some guys tend to think that the quicker thermal expansion of Aluminum helps create a quicker tighter seal.

On a side note it does help the rest of tell who knows what they're talking about.

Sorry Mac but anyone who works with aluminium heads on a CI block knows it is not an internet rumor. I've known about this problem since the 1960s
