what is better common rail or vp44
my dad and a few other people said that with there 06 they noticed a huge difference in power from there 99 2000 or 2001 they said there old truck had more power and better gas mileage the only major thing that i know of different is the common rail system i thought that the new trucks would have more power and especially more fuel economy what do you think?

only thing my VP/24 valve has over a common rail is that it's paid for!
One of these days I'm going to grab a truck off the lot and pull my trailer with it. I have the feeling that a stock 06 will do better than my mild modded 01.

Yeah, but you guys have that yearly VP44 payment.
I think the CR is a better engine all the way around. Better power, fuel economy can be gained through gearing, tires. The base engine is just so much better than the VP engine too.
The only real draw back to the CR system is its sensitivity to dirt in the fuel system. Any little piece of dirt past the fuel filter, and you will have stuck injectors over fueling, scored cylinder walls, burned up pistons, - new engine time.

I think it all boils down to money. I bought a 02 4x4 larimie QC just broke in a 60,000k for 20.000$. I have acceptable diesel power with the ez for towing my TT. I like 375/month for 5 years vs 600/month for 6years.. IF your rich then go for more. I have to live within my means. JMO
