Man here with a 2002 Dodge 2500 4x4 with 6 speed with 5.9 Cummins it has 332,428 miles on it no major issues with the engine minor oil leaks still running original injectors and original turbo ! I have changed the exhaust to 4 inch from 3 inch put a cold air intake on it bigger exhaust manifold and bigger air intake horn to help keep it running cool when towing up the mountains here in Tenn.& North Carolina bought it new in 02 best most reliable truck I've ever owned ! I do have an Edge 5 stage comp box stacked with Smarty box ! If I ever have injector trouble or turbo trouble then I'll upgrade the injectors to 100 horse injectors with a comparible turbo ! But right now it's doing fine ! Plenty of low end torque & decent top end torque ! I tow a 16' car hauler & a 10,000 lbs camper with this truck ! Awesome truck !

@AustenARW 9 ай бұрын

He says the Cummins has a horsepower advantage but when it comes to low end torque, the Powerstroke wins. Most definitely the other way around by a long shot and anyone who has driven both - especially in a manual trans config - will agree. The v8 design is more about HP while the inline is more about torque, especially low end torque. Hopefully he just misspoke. I guess they've never seen a 12v Cummins with a manual trans come through their shop so they can't comment about the reliability of those.

7.3L with original transmission @ 440k miles. Still shifts great. Been doing a drain and fill every 25-30k miles since new with motorcraft fluid. Pan drop and filter change every 60-70k miles. Engine oil changes every 5-7k miles and have never even had the valve covers off it. That does NOT mean its a maintenance free engine!!! Change your fluids excessively (all of them!!!) and keep on top of the leaks and it will last! As for power. Sure it might not beat out a 6.7, but it pulls a 3 horse trailer every other weekend without problems all over TX.

2002 GMC Sierra 3500 SLT Crew Cab Dually Slung a exhaust valve cylinder 8, drove another 1500 miles. Never quit on me, rebuilt the engine in my garage at 301,500 miles, destroyed the suspension and differential, replaced entire suspension and replaced the diff with an 18 wheeler 6 planetary gear differential that kept the same axle and bearing firment, aftermarket turbo (delayed wastegate) Complete paint job, 245s all the way around, garage built and welded front and rear steel bumpers with brushgaurd. Ive changed my oil every 6-7k miles, fuel filters every 8-10k, clean the air filter and oil it every 5-10k (really depends how much dirt i see caught in it) here it is 329,000 miles and still getting 20mpg, will smoke the tires, oil is still amber yellow clean, peppy as all hell and has the rear end to pull any and everything I want it to. The Allison 1000 5 speed? Is the last man standing and has never been touched. It has literally outlived everything else around the truck. Still shifts like a dream, smooth and efficiently. I love my LB7, would not trade it for anything. In my opinion its the simplest to fix and maintain, best fuel economy ive ever seen on a Dually and I absolutely love how they sound. Definitely in the Top 5 in Diesels

Then separate that answer to which transmission is the most reliable. When/how to service transmission? Which of the big three manufacturers have the best warranty to go with the truck? Which of the big three manufacturers have the best extended warranty if they offer one and is it worth it? what have they found to be the best oil to run in these engines especially in cold climates? Additives? How often should you change the engine oil? Filters?

The Problem with newer diesels are two fold: Gov't emission regulations and customer power demands, both those are making the engineering process much more complex, which leads to less reliability (as it ages) and maintenance requirements throughout the ownership years.

The 7.3 powerstroke and 12v 5.9 cummins are very comparable in longevity. The 12v 5.9 is more reliable than the 7.3. The 7.3's HEUI fuel system is far more complex than the 5.9's mechanical fuel system. Both engines are easily capable of 800k+ miles when maintained correctly. The 7.3 will require more maintenance along the way. The 7.3 sits in a better truck than the 5.9 does, so the 7.3 still gets my vote. I've owned both. I'd rather deal with a bit more maintenance on a 7.3 than deal with owning an older dodge truck.

So what, these dudes go through 12v cummins constantly? I have only had to rebuild one in a packer because the crank gear spun, but i would pick working on a I6 engine rather than a v8 anyday

Emmision controls are by far and such a severe problem, I’m not surprised it’s under addressed because it can’t be a flaw in law , that would be impossible. They make the vehicles crappy because of chronically increasing incremental particulates per air volume by global government and ngo advocacy committees thru Alfabet agencies. They have laws already written till 2099 & secured stock - for sale for speculators investors in the companies, products and services that are needed to comply to The Law. Ultimately in a few years everything will be illegal, and sevice fees will increase as parts quantity deteriorate, which is exactly what D rate means . Heavy class 3 trucks go about 60-100,000 before total D rate and $12,000 I’m sure picks have same issues I wouldn’t know as they cost $100,000 and I have a 94 7.2 that I’ll keep until cows 🐄 return from their journey.

One thing that is vastly incorrect about your intro, is that neither Ford nor Chevy contributed to the development of the diesel engine. Cummins is one of the pioneers from the early 1900's, Ford had International build their diesel engines in the beginning, then GM tried building their own in the '80s then subsequently hired Isuzu for the Duramax. Perkins was also a pioneer, along with Mercedes/BMW/Audi/VW. I do love my Duramax though, and my Cummins. Not sure why fords are always in the shop.....

@jakethesk8roberts763 8 ай бұрын

Bro Cummins is not a car truck maker they are contracted to build motors for dodge so that mean they don’t do it their self like u say ford is the only one to do everything in house 🏠 for diesel trucks and that started with the first gen 6.7 power strokes in 2011

Love seeing all the 12v guys crying about the low end torque and reliability comments tho 😂ya sure the 12v platform itself is stupidly reliable but everything else surrounding the engine is friken trash. I’ve had many of them. Will never go back to a 12 or 24 valve Cummins. Love the engines hate the trucks. But as for the low end torque comment, yes a strait 6 typically produces low end torque better but it’s allllllll in the tuning children. My lml duramax out tows my dads 14 Cummins all day long. With the previous tuning I had absolutely not it loved to rev. New tuning, low end is enormous. And if you have a brain first off, you don’t pull loads at low rpm at the torque peak anyways. Cyclinder pressure is at its highest at those points and much easier to lift the head/blow head gaskets cook rod or main bearings etc. just cause it can pull at 1400 rpm doesn’t mean you should. Keep it revved out, fan moves more air water pump moves more coolant turbo moves more air etc keeps everything cooler and happier.
