Chevy and DuraTurd...Maybe the 8.1L, but depends on how much driving I was doing
If I didn't like the Cummins so much, I'd have one now. A couple family members work/worked for GM

Well I picked powerstroke and not meaning the worthless pile of crap they have now. I have heard and seen good things out of the 7.3 but did not like the idea of a v8 diesel....hard to work on in the truck.

Well I answered with the GM/DM,,,,,, but that's only if I bought one now. If it had been back when I bought my CTD in 99,,,,,,, I would have went with the 7.3 PS which I looked at real hard when I decided to go diesel. A buddy of mine had just bought a black PS superduty then and I still think it's a good looking truck,,,,,,, not as good looking as my Ram,,,,,,,,, but a close 2nd. The GM wasn't even an option then,,, past track record was the biggest reason and I really didn't know a thing about diesels, but had heard plenty from the folks that had the older GMs.

Well I would never buy any foreign job for my truck, I think they would struggle with that 20,000 pounds of mules I haul. I would have to go Ford but I come from a family of longtime Ford owners. But like many I hate the 6.0, I actually had a F550 on order and a 24 valve ready to drop but decided to just get the Dodge and cancelled my order. And the only thing that is worth a **** on the Chevy and GMC is the seats.

I agree here
i didnt see that option, I would assume a 6.0 is the p stroke everyone talks about now. BUT i did vote on this poll for a chevy duramax in this case. I love that allsion tranny shift, and they run pretty darn quick too..
IF gas was my only option, id go with a vortec 6.0, or a 5.7 vortec in a chevy. I had fords, and dodges, but i love how simple the chevy gassers are under the hood..
