should i delete this thread? not sure what I did wrong.

anyway, this was a good quote from someone

Yeah right Cat, the only thing you might need a neckbrace for is when the transfercase in the 7.3 falls out in the middle of the road and you run over it

LOL.

I'm surprised no one has started boasting the fact that our Cummins is rated as a med. duty engine.

I liked what the small timer was saying, how he heard ONE of his teachers say that Cummins was junk. I'd say the teacher probably worked for a Cat dealer or has Cat yellow paint for blood. His future profession.....yeah, good luck with that!

Yeah, small timer needs to back off. He mentioned he's put 40k miles on his new 6.0 with "no hiccup." Whoa! I'm just joking...

Please tell me why you even showed us the link to people that are that ignorant....it scares me. The way I look at it you like what you like, and are just going to start a fight by asking everyone else whats the best.... :|


Oh and someone did bring up the " medium vs light duty " thing however, it is quoted:

" Cummins is a heavy duty motor, the others are medium duty. "

But hey, they all know everything..... At least he is telling them off somewhat....?
