@NuclearSandwich7 7 жыл бұрын

The cummins still typically gets the best mpg's, and is capable of the most power if you are looking at the number of trucks to hit over 1000 horsepower. And they are typically cheaper to modify. And that's not even pointing out the fact that all the cummins engines have always been great. The power stroke died after the 7.3, and the duramax wasn't right until 2006. This is all pretty common knowledge. Yes the new trucks are damn near equals stock, but the cummins is still the superior engine.

If i was to replace my current pickup i use to tow my RV, i would honestly opt for a small cab semi. I have a friend i serve with who has lived completely out of an RV for 10+ years and he recently replaced his Duramax pickup after the motor blew on it with a 2006 Volvo VNL64T 300 he picked up for 5k with 413k miles that was previously a pepsi truck rig. He removed the above the frame 5th wheel and installed one in the rear that bolts between the frames and the DMV removed the commercial classification on the truck because it no longer had a 5th wheel above the frame. So he has it registered by weight as a normal pickup and he tells me it gets within 1/2 mpg that his duramax got and he uses that rig as a daily at times when he doesn't ride his motorcycle. The truck will go to 1mill+ miles without a single issues if properly maintained.

@LukeEdward 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you for that "qualification" regarding emissions equipment versus ACTUAL ENGINE. I've had Isuzu work vehicles with diesels that were CONSTANTLY going in for DEF related failures. Every single piece around that emissions system was reliable as sunsets, but the emissions failure after failure after failure made it the most awful experience. Our NAPA commercial shop said that was all they were seeing with a lot of the newer Big3; emissions failures.

I have a Class A drivers license with T&X endorsements. I drive a 2016 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel Quadcab 4wd with 25k miles, 9hrs idle time and 489hrs drive time. The VM diesel runs really sweet and quiet! Thanks to a Flowmaster Big Block muffler, Bank's Bullet and the Bank's intake system, hills are no problem! I average 28mpg per tank. I am 61years old, and have been driving diesels since I was 18. My first job was at a shop that made Garbage truck bodies. Where I drove a forklift powered by a 4 cyl Ford diesel, and had to move trucks around , so I could sweep the parking lot. Even after I learned to be a machinist, I would drive truck OTR, local, or incidental to a job, now and then. Have done a stint at Caltrans operating various equipment. But now work for a world famous municipality working as a Stationary Engineer, operating various generators for emergency power. I get excited with advances in technology for diesels, such as the Mack/Volvo Wave Piston Technology. Or fuels such as Diesel HPR, which I use at least 75% of the time. I modify ANY vehicle I own to some degree. But the whole point of my comments, is simply, Your video is totally and truely correct! As long as the diesel fits the application, they are ALL excellent!

The problem with the 7.3L Powerstroke isn't necessary the engine. It's all the stuff that's attached to it as well as the transmission used back then. Many owners experienced failures of things like water pumps, sensors, fuel warmers, glow plugs and other relatively minor parts around 75-100k miles, which regardless of how minor they are, they can lead to a breakdown or fail to start situation. Other issues with Transmissions started showing up around 100-150k miles. The key with the new 6.7 Powerstroke is that most owners (not the few that super tune their trucks or post problems on forums) go over 200-300k miles with no major issues with anything. That's the key with pretty much all the new trucks.

@chefdan87 7 жыл бұрын

I respect your opinion but i also believe it falls to the owner and his personal upkeep and maintenance. Growing up working on farms i regularly saw and drove Fords "6.9idi-7.3powerstrokes" and Dodges 5.9 "6bt and 4bt p-pumps and Ve pumps" with well over 500k on their odometers or a ridiculous number of hours on them with stock engines and transmissions. Granted parts failed and had to be replaced but to have serious problems that left us stranded or needing a new truck were fairly rare. There is no it will fail at this number of miles in my opinion. It will fail typically when you personally determined it to fail with the way you drove it treated it and maintained it. Just my two cents

I currently have a 1998 chevy k2500 HD 5.7 with an NV4500 trans. I have done a lot to the truck, but rust is killing it. I love the manual but would like more power.

The 6.7 powerstroke is a huge piece of shit i have been working on ford diesels professionally since the idi days and i am a certified diesel/auto mechanic of 40 years experience regardless of what you say do not tell people they go that far because of a rare case. 95% of the time these engines have catastrophic failure at 120k miles. And as for the 7.3 idi/powerstroke best "diesel" engines ford ever made along with the 6.0. Only if it has been bullet proofed by a professional such as myself. Truthfully though do not buy diesel get a gas engine diesels were not ever meant to be put in such small trucks. Leave it to the big diesels those are reliable.

My 96 7.3 has given me no trouble and I still have it today. I never use tuners, its completely stock. It wasn't until I purchased my 2006 6.0 that I would find myself on the side of the road with an engine that died and will not start. This happened to me several times. But then I found a document on the internet on "how to live with your 6.0 powerstroke vehicle". It gave me all the details of what manufacture defects where on the 6.0 and what was needed to correct them. I had to learn to be a diesel mechanic if I was going to keep the 6.0 because it was inevitable that it was going to break down time from time. But with the information from the internet document, I'm able to stay ahead of the issues, I just had to buy a lot of tools and mustard up a lot of patients to turn those wrenches. Even the body mounts have failed and needed to be replaced, whereas my 96 7.3 powerstroke truck has the original body mounts on them. Ford just got cheap and cut a lot of corners!! If I buy another truck, I'll have to make sure its a engine I can work on if I'm going to own it, and one where the cab does not need to be lifted!!! Don't try that at home unless you have a 90 horse power tractor with 3.5 inch hydraulic cylinders on it to handle the weight!!

one thing can be said for Dodge. the I-6 engine has never had a bad year(s). the engine itself is bullet proof. I agree all newer diesels are awesome. but after owning all, the Cummins package is still the best for a business owner. the maintenance costs is just way better.

@seansayegh4678 7 жыл бұрын

Very true, but there was a brief time ('99 to '01) That Cummins had the notorious "53 Block" that was cast in Brazil, and would develop cracks in the thinly cast water jackets. Knowledgeable Cummins shoppers know to avoid trucks with that particular block..or negotiate a lower price. Other than that, yeah..bad ass and reliable motors! My '92 1st Gen is still going strong after 320,000 miles.

IMO 7.3 (for trucks) are very reliable, as long as its the 7.3 without some of the electric Injection crap. Our 7.3 with 278k something miles on it, only problem was the alternator failed once. Thats it. Runs very cool for a diesel under a heavy load, great torque and power, 512 LB is what I see on the wiki, and hear from people. The bed of the truck was crushed by a large square bale, then """crushed""" by a tree (didn't do any damage accept poke a small tiny hole in the top of the cab at the bend (on the back)) in the past hurricane, knocked a bit of rust off the frame, thats all. We got a flatbed on it now. This is a 99. 7.3 Mechanical Fuel Injection (Cat Injectors) , Single stock turbo. 7 speed manual transmission, (genuine) Granny Low (counts as a forward gear), 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, Yeah.

I drove a one ton Dodge dually a few years ago for my work. I liked the Cummins diesel with the great torque and pulling power. I worked with Chevy Duramax and Ford Excursions building armored vehicles. The truck bodies were much better on the Ford and even the Chevy, but I will take the Cummins inline six any day. It is mechanically simpler and with better torque because the stroke is longer on an inline six than a V8. I know the new Ford's have nearly equal torque now, but for a new armored vehicle prototype being worked on we chose the Cummins. I remember the Hummer's in Iraq and Afghanistan had the GM diesels and the endless problems the military had with them. The new JLTV has the Banks/Duramax which must have been chosen due to the political considerations rather than durability choices. GM has a very long history with the military and the miltary seems to be endlessly forgiving of brand's short comings.

I am working on a 6.0 for a friend right now that was deleted before she bought it at 22k. It barely has 180k and has a ruptured oil cooler, bad head gaskets, a paper weight for a turbo, and an injector wiring harness that was so chafed I'm not sure if the truck was actually running right like she said it was before everything failed. With so much wrong, it wasn't easy for me to diagnose the harness. I've fixed the harness and finally got most of the parts for reassembly, but of the 5 6.0s I've worked on this year, the only crazy thing was the turbo shaft and impellers completely destroying themselves. Everything else has been just about the same. Catastrophic failure. And my friends get their oil changed between 3k and 6k every time. The two at 6k oil intervals do a lot of cross-country trips, so it's not diluting like a daily driver, either. It was, and is, a terrible engine platform. That's why Ford has not stuck with any single engine platform like the Duramax or Cummins line. Also, 7.3s are not anywhere near as bulletproof as people would like to think.

I have two tuners and studs on mine among other mods and she runs great. I only beat on it from time to time to keep the vgt from sticking and always run a diesel additive. And I bought it with 217k, now it has 260k. Bottom line is, every truck will have it's problems, it's just a matter of what you arw willing to deal with.

Older Diesel engines not running all the modern engine management systems are by far the better engine to have.

I'm not a huge fan of Cummins engines far as maintenance goes. The oil filters on '15+ engines is much harder to get to and makes a huge mess. I like doing oil changes on the 6.7L PowerStrokes more, just easier to get to stuff.

Ratkill9000 Oil filter location is a PITA! Every time I change mine I ask "why the *uck did Cummins do this?" This is nothing like an N14 or ISX location (so much easier). Damn thing is even on the "hot side" of the engine?

Take the top of the airbox off and part of the intake to turbo and you can get right to the oil filter.

@Ratkill9000 6 жыл бұрын

Not allowed to do that much off to get to the filter. It's easier to take the passenger front tire off or just go right over it. It's not bad once you do it enough times. Oil change interval is 15,000 miles and 6 months least from 2015 and up other wise it's 7500 miles and 6 months.

The best Diesel engine wasn't even mentioned... how could you not mention the 7.3 at all?

All good points have to agree I think you can not go wrong with any. It comes down to personal taste but from a purely aesthetics point of view the Rams are so nice looking inside and out. Again my opinion.

yeah yeah yeah I've got a 6 liter Chevrolet in a 3/4 ton it now has 552000 miles and the only thing I've ever replaced as one valve spring excellent mileage built like a rock no oil usage whatsoever no leaks no noise and it doesn't stink.

I couldn't disagree more with you on this one. All these new engines are swamped with emissions crap that will eventually cause nothing but problems. But you've made it quite clear you're a Ford fan boy so it makes sense that you would nonchalantly try to include the 6.7ps in this. Ford still hasn't had a proven diesel since the 7.3, and Obviously nobody would take you seriously if you said the 6.7ps like the one in your truck was best. I'm a Duramax guy all the way, the ease of tuning, aftermarket support, and simply because it really hasn't changed that much in the 15+ years it's been around. That's over 15 years of R&D and building on the same platform. Not to mention they've really had minimal problems with the Duramax other than the first few years of production. But I still wouldn't buy one newer than a 2010. Why do people hate on them so much? Because they're fanboys who hate GM and are too proud to admit that it's a great platform. In all honesty If Ford had stuck with the 7.3 and continued developing it over all these years I would probably own one. All of the 5.9 Cummins were great engines in my opinion. The 12 valve was way underpowered and not exactly cheap to get big power from, but it lasts forever. I'm no Dodge expert but I don't understand why they moved to the 6.7. My personal opinion, the 7.3 International is probably the best diesel pickup engine, even though it was also underpowered in its factory form. Taking into consideration maintenance costs, the absurd amount of them that I've seen with over a half million miles or close to it, and the ease of finding used parts since they put that engine in everything. Just my opinion, everyone can feel free to get butthurt over it.

Justin garland: Weird how you say "You're a ford fan boy all the way" and then a few sentences later you say "I'm a Duramax guy all the way".....At least I'm unbiased.... you on the other hand..... Plus, I made it clear I wasn't talking about older generation diesels are the irrelevant because they can't be purchased in new trucks. This video was to address NEW or SEMI NEW trucks... Most new truck buyers arn't out in the market looking for a 7.3 Super Duty from the late 90s.

Big Truck Big RV You titled your video "Best pickup Diesel engine", not "Best NEW pickup Diesel engine". At no point did you clearly state you were only talking about new engines, just that the newer models were the best in your opinion. Which I still disagree with. As more emissions systems get added to these engines, their lifespans will decrease. I will be very surprised to see any newer model diesel last nearly as long as its previous generations. So I guess my opinion would be that currently all 3 of them are equally horrible. And yes, I do currently own an LMM Duramax. I really don't consider myself brand biased at all, but clearly you don't seem to think you are either. Perhaps we're both wrong. If I absolutely had to choose a brand I would consider myself a Jeep guy, but Chrysler did a good job of ruining that for me. When I bought my Duramax it was because I considered it to be the best option at the time. I disliked the looks of the Dodge, and Fords diesels were a mess. So if we're just considering diesels from the past 10 years I would have to choose the Duramax because it's the most consistent platform, although I still think all three newer engines are being ruined my emissions.

Heepin327 Funny how the new duramax is now all new and has nothing in common with the older ones. But lets be real can you really run a hauling business with older trucks. Of course you can but its risky from break downs to safety features. Newer diesels are the way to go. I agree with the all three being great platforms at this point its just choice of flavor.

Powerstroke: 1. 6.7 - solid all around great engine 2. 7.3 - very fucking powerful, reliable and loud ;) 3. 6.0 - great engine if bulletproofed and sounds amazing 4. 6.4 good engine if with some aftermarket parts 5. 6.9 good ol diesel but nothing compared to the newer engines Cummins: 1. 5.9 pretty fast depending on what you do with it and loud 2. 6.7 can tow more, has more power Duramax: 1. 6.6 obviously because they only made one and its pretty solid and has unbelievable tranny's Winner: 6.7 powerstroke because of it's all around power, best mpg, reliability
