By my sig, i pull with a 2002 8.1.....Its specs are roughly 340HP and 455 lb ft of torque. If a guy were to opt for a 2000-2002 Cummins, approx the same specs, does a Diesel pull any easier. Just a thought.
I realize they tow at a much lower RPM.
Thanks. Just curious.
I have had both....I don't if the word "easier" is the right word. I think the right word would be "different".....Humping up a grade at 60 or so, 5000 rpm in a gasser with a screaming v8 versus 1800-2000 rpm in a Cummins, with a loafing six cylinder, it is definitely and different sound and feel. That screaming v8 sound always wore me out while the Cummins just rumbles along.....Plus, the mileage difference is verrrrry nice!
