6.7 Cummins vs 6.6 Duramax
As someone who knows next to nothing about Diesel engines, I am trying to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of these to. Any opinions would be appreciated.

I've had Chevy, Dodges and GMC trucks throughout my life and the two Dodges I had, 2000 and 2002, both had transmission failures. I vowed after the second one to never own a Dodge again. Not trying to start an argument about which is better just providing my experience.
I never did like Dodge trucks and they had their fair share of problems during that time period. How many times have we seen the comment "unfortunately, it's a great Cummins engine with a Dodge wrapped around it". However, about 2010 major upgrades were made to Ram trucks and now they're one of the best engineered and most reliable trucks on the road. Four years ago I bought a 2015 Ram 2500 CTD and it's absolutely the best truck I've ever owned. That includes five Suburbans, a 7.3 diesel Excursion, two Ford E250 vans and a Ford E350 van with a 7.3 that I ordered new.
Frankly, it seems that we're at the point where each of the "big three" build really great HD pickup trucks and I'd be happy with the offering of any of them. Anymore, it comes down to the price and the quality and reliability of the dealership service as to which one is the best truck.
