Looking at Chevy Duramax Diesel

[NCTURBOS]

The seats in the Dodge are hard and the Chevy are soft and comfortable. The The Cummins rattles a lot more and is a lot noisier at idle, cruise speed and really loud under load. The back seat of the Dodge is very uncomfortable for anything other than a 10 year kid. The back of the Chevy is very roomy.

Oh... I'll definitely agree the Chevy & Ford have that covered over the Dodge. I'm not quite sure why Dodge doesn't step up in that respect. I've got 125k on my Cummins and have not had an issue with it yet, and it's my daily driver right now. It gets 22-23 mpg with split highway/city driving. I did upgrade the fuel system to keep my VP44 from overheating, and I only run on the first fuel box for most of the time. But when I want to go powerstroke or duramax hunting I hit the little red button on the second fuel box and let the coal roll... :biggrin:

05 LLY CCSB for me. Bought new in 05, currently 58k and all stock. No issues, no problems towing. It's has pulled down 23 mpg running empty to BG. Gets 14-16 towing the GN. Most of the time it gets 17-19 mpg driving to and from work which is a mix of interstate and stop/go traffic.
