My company just bought me a Duramax/Allison 4wd.<br>It's only got 1050 miles so far,and all I can say is it's way better than the usual 350 I get.<br>My personal vehicle is a 2001 Dodge Cummins,and I feel that so far the Duramax doesn't have the brute low end grunt the Cummins does.<br>I'll be making a few fair comparison comments as I get more miles on it.<br>As of right now I can say that the D/A is very smooth.<br>I really like the engine braking on the allison.<br>My first 2 tanks of fuel have averaged 17.5 in oilfield situations.<br>It's VERY good in mud even with the crappy hiway tires.<br>More later<br>Mike

 

Get an edge hot box on there those things turn on so hard with just a box its amazing my dad has one and the midrange always makes me in it.

 

Cummins will always have the lowend grunt. Only because it a Cummins and its an inline6. The Ford's inline6 gasser has alot of lowend grunt. Thats why when someone made a inline 8 it had the most torque for awhile.<br><br>SD03
