I have had an '01 PSD and '03 CTD and and '04 DMX in the space of the last 3 years. The 7.3 lost a rod at 22k mi. I wrecked the '03 CTD and decided to try the DMX. What a let down. Great Tranny. I wish that someone out there could turn me on to an AZ guy who will retrofit my '05 CTD with the Ally.
Point is the CTD is the best diesel on the market. Show me a longhauler that runs a V-8 and you have lunch on me. Yes the Ally is nice, but the Cummins has the Diesel land speed record, the most # of 500k+ mile trucks still on the road and my $ (What little that means).
I see an aful lot of ground being made up by GM and Ford. It's about D_ _ _ time. If these inferior MFGs want the title they have to win it. You don't TALK the crown off the champ. You got to earn it.
