I don't think anyone is trying to justify anything. Tons of people come on here wondering if they should get a diesel or gas truck to tow their trailer. A video like this gives some examples of the levels of performance between the two and how they differ in their power delivery.
It also lets people know that realistically for most applications the real world performance will be very similar the difference will be upfront cost, fuel consumption and rpm.
Some of us like the laid back loaf along at 13-1400 rpm feel also instead of the 3000 rpm on flat ground.
This is a great thread and shows a lot. I'm enjoying the comparisons between the Cummins and the Hemi just as much as the coils/leaf spring.
Hey IB, do you guys know anyone with a Cummins with 4:10 gearing? I'll like to see the difference between the 3:42 and the 4:10 with the Cummins.
I know with my Cummins/Asin the torque management is bad when driving unloaded until it hits third gear. Hooked to the 5er I really don't notice it but I don't try for 0-60 times. Again, this is a great thread.;)
