cummins might have the race heritage behind them but how could you defile the blue oval by wanting a dodge?

They are nice trucks. If you can, get an 04.5 - 05, because they had more power. Or maybe same hp but more torque (600 or 610) can't remember. But I think the 03 and early 04 had like 555 torque. With the transmission, as long as you aren't going crazy with adding power the stock auto will be fine for a while at least. It's when you start going crazy with the chips that add like 200+ hp that you have issues. I have a friend with an 05 with a basic bully dog chip and his trans is fine. I think you will like it, the only thing since you are wanting a crew cab is that the back seat of the dodge crew cab really isn't much bigger than a ford extended cab, especially if the driver is tall. The ford crew cab has way more room.

Get an 04.5 or 05 for sure . I just sold my 01 Cummins and got an 05 quad cab short bed 4x4 6SP. It is a great truck. Lots of power, plenty of room inside the cab and if you get one that is loaded it has all the creature comforts you could ever want. The autos are pretty fast but yes it will take more money to mod rather than a clutch in a manual. Good luck with the search, auto or manual you will be happy. Everyone might not like Dodges that much but the Cummins is well worth it .

LOL...The funny thing is my buddy with an 06 cummins, hates his seats, he's saving for aftermarket ones...he swears those seats are going to wind up in a class action law suit for the pain they put in his back...I think the interior is way cheaper..and if you get a chance crawl underneath one and look... Unbelievable how chinsy... an F150 is as sturdy as their 3500...

I think you will find that most of the guys that buy their diesel trucks for towing and performance go Cummins, those who want to ride in a cadillac go Powerstroke. I would say depends on what you want to do with the truck and go from there.

yeah i dislike everything about a dodge besides the cummins, i like all diesels. I drove a dodge a few times, and i swear it was just like driving one of there mini vans.... but thats just me, i would never give up my ford truck, and the funny thing was i wasnt a big ford guy before i baught it. but i will never not have one now


i disagree. the cady is duramax.... ford is the work horse with the room and comfort.. it has the best of all areas, not just the max of 1
