The difference between the 7.3/6.7 Pstroke and the 5.9/6.7 Cummins, is if both mfgs dropped the old school engines in a 2019 truck with everything else that comes on a new truck, Ford would sell a few and Ram would have people lined up around the block with their wallets out.....

Aside from being noisier and not having a built in exhaust brake which is a $1500-2000 out of pocket upgrade, a 5.9 CR engine with a 2 micron fuel filter and any cheap canned tune gives up nothing to a new 6.7 Cummins.
7.3 requires more work to get to that point.

Yeah that all sounds good but now back to reality.
If you could buy OEM truck with a Cummins engine,a Ford Frame and and Allison Transmission you'd sell lots of those too.
But just like unicorns these configurations do not exist.
You won't find any old school engines going into 2019 trucks.
Maybe it's nice to let our minds wander, but at the end of the day there is no point in comparing a 7.3 PSD to a 6.7 PSD unless you are discussing how the engines evolved. Otherwise there is just no comparison.
Next up Lets compare the performance of a model T vs.Tesla

No, you're right, just bsing here. 10-15 years ago, I'd say you're spot on with the Fummins with an Allison trans.
Today, heck I'd even take a new Powerstroke with no reservations. Would just hate to look at the mess under the hood!

Actually a 6.7PSD looks a lot cleaner from the bottom up then a 6.7ctd. :W
