Another thing ,all these guys braggin the older Cummins haven't spent time behind the new ones. No comparison.
I drove a 2000 Dodge Cummins on an average of 200 miles a day 5 days a week towing 15,000lbs and while it did it fine I had to drive it, i.e. downshift before the grade etc;;;; an older Cummins at redline sounds like it is coming unglued any minute. By contrast my Chevy 6.0 purrs at 4500 rpm.
The new Cummins idles over the steepest mountains, too easy and must say relaxing
