Duramax is king of the mountain again

The horsepower/torque race is becoming insane. I'm leaning toward a Ram 2500/3500 for my next truck, and the "base" Cummins engine with a measly 370hp/800 torque is way more than my needs will require. Heck, my dad's old 7.3 Powerstroke with just 255/525 does a decent job of pulling 12K, that's really all I need.

I towed with a measly 350/800 with a 11 HO Dually. Combined weight 29K with 68RFE AND 3.42's. Truck performed very well. ONLY issue was getting the load rolling on a grade. The Aisin with the same combo would have been flawless.
