Of course because the Cummins only has 6 connecting rods while the other 2 have 8! On top of that, your mighty Cummins you speak of is always the last in performance so what good does those 6 larger connecting rods do? Hold it back and using the most fuel per mile trying to move the extra un-needed weight? The other 2 have not had any issues with their "smaller" sized eight connecting rods!
Turn up the power on the two 8's and you will need new connecting rods.
The Cummins will be still pulling the grades when the other two are in the scrap pile.
How many people do you know that drop anything into another brand other than Cummins.
Big market for Cummins in Ford.
I don't need the fastest up the hill just the one that will do it the longest.
It will go down the grades 28K combined load without touching the brakes.
Go th the Campgrounds that have a lot of full timers, mostly Ram's a lot of GM's and few Fords. Same with hotshotters and RV haulers.
Bottom line be happy with what you have, if not get something else!
Oh yea, if you buy a F650-750 it won't have a Ford engine but it may have a Cummins 6.7.
