You never overlook a chance to bad-mouth the 6.7 Cummins do you? Seems like almost every post you make has some sly comment about it.

It's funny to me how some of us humans feel the need to justify our decision to purchase a particular brand of truck, (or 5.9 Cummins instead of 6.7 in your case) by bad-mouthing other brands. Some folks just won't give up.

I personally think all of the 2013 heavy duty pickup trucks are very impressive. Too expensive though.

Let me clarify Wiley75!

We have a business in the form of a Ranch and a Farm that we have several trucks for our work hands. My BIL is one of several family members who has to maintain these trucks. These trucks don't pull campers or 5ver's like the many here use, but rather these are trucks used to pull massive cattle trailers into some really remote areas, down rutted gravel roads, and even rutted muddy dirt roads. These are trucks that pull fertilizer tanks to the fields, run parts, check fields on a daily basis and some are even idled for long periods just for extra lighting in the field. They are drove hard and put up wet so to speak. My BIL had a 6.7 Cummins for ~ 9 months and it simply couldn't perform reliable to either the 5.9, 6.9, 6.0, 7.3 diesels we had or have.

No go bust some of the other fanboys in this thread! And you know who your giving a free pass my friend! :W

I could see the 6.9 and the 7.3 doing yeoman service. But why do you think the 6.0 liter PSD engine...given your severe service requirements...survived...I'm assuming without difficulty ?

The 6.0 psd is a good engine if it is worked, but when it started blowing black smoke, it needed the EGR valve cleaned. Took all of 45 minutes to remove, clean and reinstall.
