You still have the best truck of the 3, so get it fixed and enjoy your new truck.
That is quite a statement coming from someone with a 2013 RAM in their sig line. Care to expound on that? Chris
I sure will. I have previously owned two duramax trucks, an 05 and 11. I switched to a Ram last year as I needed a dually and Ram is the only manufacture that makes a short bed dually truck.
I did a lot of research and reading on forums and all I heard was how powerful the cummins is.
After coming from a new generation duramax, to a new generation cummins with identical axle ratios, the cummins really lacks the acceleration and towing capabilities that I was accustomed to.
I really like the truck, but not a huge fan of the cummins/aisin and the solid front axle. I really miss the dmax/allison with IFS.
But, as they say, no point in crying over spilled milk. I will keep it for now as its paid for.
Of course I didn't time them in the quarter mile, but the test drive on a new 2014 Duramax was nothing spectacular. After test driving the GM ,I test drove the 2014 Ram couldn't tell much difference, but they both felt like they accelerated fine. Ram to me was the more comfortable ,and quiet of the two, I chose Ram. Towing I have nothing to compare other then a 7.3 power stroke, and there is no comparison. I will say it tows any of the mountain grades I have driven here in the west at the speed I tow 60-65, so as far as capabilities I would never know if the GM was better.
