When was the last time you seen a Dodge Ram with the "Blue Tec" badge on the tailgate? Yeah... 500k miles LOL
The 6.7L Cummins from 2008 to 2010 did have emissions related issues for sure (as did GM's Duramax and Ford's diesels).
Having said that, saying an 6.7L Cummins (or any Ram/Dodge Cummins engine) is as bad as the complete and total engineering blunder that Ford pushed on the public in the form of the 6.0L and the 6.4L is a huge stretch to say the least. At least there are still people out there that will fix 2008 to 2010 6.7L Cummins engines. Heck, even Bill Hewitt (Powerstrokehelp.com) gave up on the 6.4L as did Ford! The junk 6.0L POS is solely responsible for destroying Ford's previous overwhelming share of the ambulance market as well.
The current Ford 6.7L diesel appears to be as good as any of them, and very powerful. They seem to have learned their lesson.
Having said that when was the last time you've seen a Dodge 6.7 cummins Blue Tec and a Ford 6.0PSD?
This is blind brand loyalty at it's best. I had a Ford 6.0L and was a die hard Ford man; the truck in my sig speaks for how that truck and Ford treated me.
There are plenty of 1st generation Cummins 6.7L trucks still running around in my area and as a matter of fact a coworker of mine just had one from a totalled 2009 Ram installed in his 2008 F350 after the 6.4L grenaded on him at 170k kms. At least one could delete the early Cummins 6.7L and have a great truck; the Ford 6.0L and 6.4L diesels not so much....
