Engine ?
Ok I would like to work on my truck under the hood as much as possible. Which of the three (Cummins 5.9l, Powerstroke 6.0l, Duramax 6.6l, LBZ) are the easiest to work on?

5.9 cummins by a long shot. I looked under the hood of a Ford 6.0 and about fainted. Duramax is not much better.

No doubt about it, the 5.9 by a long shot. I had an 03 6 oh-no, and you couldn't even see the engine...

Take a look for yourself and I think you'll agree.

Forget back-yard wrenching
Not to mention you have to yank the cab to work on the Ford.

Does your fuel filter have to snap onto the cap?
