[QUOTE="COLT, post: 147875, member: 1351"] From some of my prior posts on Hardline many of you know that I am a hardcore Cummins fan... In the case of the 24 valve motor in the Ford- I am not a fan... I have experience with a ford with the 24 valve in it (industrial version) and the owner has had a lot of problems. They have been through a few head gaskets and 1 high pressure pump. Like I said I AM a Cummins fan and own 2 dodge 3500's myself but have had bad luck with the lower HP industrial motor.. Part of the reason why I believe we had the problem was because the truck was doing a lot of interstate driving at 70-75 mph the motor was turning 2400 rpm minimum on cruise at speed. I would look for a Kodiak based truck with a Duramax in it if you plan on a lot of long range trips. If you are just staying around town the Cummins is what I would go with. The Cummins may pay for itself in low maintenance costs as well being as though the parts are easy and cheap to come by!! [/QUOTE]
