Default Cummins Vs. Powerstroke
Ok so at my new job my trainer is a Cummins diesel man and I am a Ford man. Which one do you like and why?

Cummins. Its proven itself to be a solid high mileage engine that is very easy to tune and work on. They do not have the problems that have plagued the PS since mid 03.

Cummins. simple I6. powerful, affordable, reliable as all hell. before i sold my 00 ram, she was at around 600K, never had a problem other than regular maintenance. had banks ram air, exhaust, and programmer, hauled anything your threw at it, and still averaged about 20mpg. was walking all over fools with their mustangs and camaros. ford shouldve never gotten rid of the 7.3, best diesel theyve ever had.

I'd like what my trainer liked until I was off probationary status. Paychecks are a good thing.

Lol. I am a powerstroke fan. More so of the 7.3 than Fords newer ones. Hoping that this new 6.7 will be good for Ford.
