Dodge has a better motor.

Ford has a better truck.

Dodge falls apart around motor, and the cummins is entirely mechanical, it's a great motor with a terrible shell, ford is a better built truck over all, but not as cheap and easy to make power like the cummins

depends what you like. i like both. had 7 - 7.3s (still have 6) had 4 cummins in dodges, still have one. also have a cummins in a backhoe, a cummins in a F650 and a cummins in a boat, they are great motors. but i think the same of th epowerstroke

There are more 7.3's still on the road than gm and cummins of the same model years.

I think more 7.3's were built than dodge and gm diesels combined.

To compare the engines alone, the cummins is cheaper to maintain, cheaper and easier to repair/rebuild, built a little beefier, and as said many times before it's easier and cheaper to get big HP out of the cummins.........which I don't really care about because I don't need or want a truck with insane HP people try to get out of these engines.

And the cummins typically gets a little better fuel economy.

Once we start mods on any of them it compromises them. Stock trucks meticulously maintained will last a long time. We throw injectors and turbos and progammers and them we have a posing contest on whose is better and then call em crap when they blow up. Man, I love diesels! Lol
