If it were only that easy with women........
Yeah I know, I'm gonna burn for that one !

Congrats on the new truck. You'll like driving the Cummins. They have a wide torque curve and as a result they feel very linear with regard to throttle input. The transmission doesn't have to get terribly busy scrolling through the gears. Even though they don't have the absolute highest hp/tq numbers, the seat-of-the pants driveability is great and with the power levels were talking about, who cares. It's like a locomotive on rubber tires.

Congratulations, beautiful truck. I almost purchased a 6 speed manual Cummins before I bought my truck but I just couldn't justify buying a 3/4 truck to do the work of a 1/2 ton so I bought my Eco instead.

Smh.

Fiat has absolutely nothing to do with the Ram trucks. These trucks were designed way before that business deal.

And the current Cummins engine makes more torque than Powerjoke or Duratrash on a chassis dyno, despite the listed numbers. Ford appears to be a liar.

So much misinformation on the Web. But, if you post a pic of Brand B on a Brand A forum, I guess you're just asking for it.
