The 6.0s are great after some money which nobody ever wants to spend it on them and you'll never get your money back out of them. Seems like you also have to pull the cab to do almost anything to the motor.
I love the cummins. The 6.7s suck until you delete them. Then you'll get your mileage back and won't have all the problems. I had a 5.9 that I built was around 800 horses and 1500 torque. Pulled like a beast and got around 22 mpg even loaded. The 5.9s are better but getting harder to find still in decent shape. I'm lookin for a 12 valve for a project.
I also love the duramax. I wouldn't buy anything older than an 06 though. We deleted a buddies 2011 and it is awesome now. He's gettin about 22-24 loaded now. He was also having problems with the dpf filter and the regen process. I'd love to do a duramax in my suburban but don't know that I'll ever get it done. Got other things I'm workin on right now.

Let's be honest.. both trucks are great. They both have their problems, but you can't go wrong with either.

Either would be good for me. I would definitely stay away from the ford 6.0 it has a lot of problems.

I would buy the Ford if you are going gas, and the Dodge if you go diesel. The 6.2 in the ford is a great engine, and you can't beat the cummins in the dodge, especially after you delete if you go the diesel route

I have a 2014 Ford 6.7 diesel and it's a beast. Will tow anything with ease and hauls ass. My buddy has a 2015 ram 3500 diesel and he hates it.

you can't go wrong with MOPAR, especially if you are going diesel. Dodge all the way.

Im personally looking at a few different options:
2011-2012 cummins- They have better tranny and no def fluid
06- 07 6.0 Powerstroke with some work done, headstuds egr delete.
7.3s ride like crap with leaf springs in the front,
6.4 power stroke is a money pit and way worse than a 6.0
5.9 cummins always have horrible interior.
Not too familiar with duramaxes so Im going to be test driving them before I make a purchase within the next year or so.
As far as gas trucks, chevy wins imo for the best gas v8 and transmission, although I want to drive a 5.0 F150

That's good to know! Well, if I get a diesel it will definitly be a Dodge. I'm going to do some shopping around soon.

What about the Titan? They don't sell them here so I've never driven one but the cummins V8 looks good
