Outstanding... Looks like cummins will be sucking hind tit. I hear there's a 2019 update so perhaps there will be more much needed hp for the cummins then.
LOL, but we all truly know which one will keep pulling the passes reliably time after time, year after year without pulling the cab for expensive repairs! ;)
I know he's trolling this thread (per usual) but that's basically my take on it. They're all plenty fast, even mine with a lowly 370/800. I've yet to encounter a situation where I couldn't go faster if I wanted to, and I tow out west where the grades are steep and long and the elevations get high. The Cummins has been the slowest of the three for a long time, and Ram still sells the highest percentage of diesels in its heavy duty trucks.
True, and mine is the lowly 350/650 rating with the 6 speed manual transmission. I may do something about that when my warranty is up and I upgrade the clutch. :W We are on the West coast and have mountain passes to pull no matter which direction we head.
On a side note, the Ram/Cummins is the best selling diesel pickup in Canada.
The new Duramax numbers will be impressive and conservative so it probably will out pull the Powerstroke as previously suggested. I too would be interested to find out what transmission upgrades were done to achieve these numbers.
