I can change out my entire Cummins fuel system on the roadside with a $179 harbor frieght tool kit. You will get alot off opinions from those that haven't replaced cp3s, cp4s, and the Injectors from all three companies. They are all really nice trucks. Until you have to work on them. Then there is only one really nice truck.

That is what I am getting at with my question...I know that all 3 have their issues being diesels but are the Cummins usually easier to repair for the most part? It seems like when a Ford breaks down the cab has to ripped off half the time to repair it or someone is saying that replacing the fuel pump was $8000?

You are correct!

He is incorrect about the cab having to come off all the time. The 6.7 PSD was designed for the majority of the repairs with the cab on. In addition I would bet that most here won't perform there own repairs if someone major would happen. Even our farm equipment these days has a John Deere technician to work on the engines. Replacing injectors and HPFP are very expensive on all brands and if anyone thinks the Ram or GM will warranty a fuel system repair with fuel contamination got their blindfolds on.

Anyone that believes that most Ford CP4-2 failures were "fuel contamination got their blindfolds on".

That's would be a negative ghost rider. Last time a discussed this topic with my cousin he reported that both the Ford and Chrysler shops are seeing roughly the same number of fuel system failures percentage wise due to fuel contamination. Any signs of rust, DEF contamination, gasoline, galvanize flakes is an automatic warranty denial plain and simple. One ram owner completely denied his fuel system was contaminated with DEF and blamed the Chrysler shop for sabotage. His truck was on a flat bed truck and was delivered to his house the same day.

I and this forum understand your trolling motives eyes wide open.
