Cummins...no doubt..
Thanks!
The Cummins are very good engines but there are very few years where I would pick a Cummins over a Duramax....probably 2003 and 2004.
Bingo! And that is the year that the OP is asking about... 04 Dmax to an 06 Cummins...
Cummins...No Doubt!

It sounds to me by the title of the thread that the OP is talking about years 2001 to 2010. In 2001 and 2002 the Duramax was a much more sophisticated and suitable engine for a pick up as compared to the Cummins...mainly on account of the common rail fuel system which allowed for quiet, smooth, efficient and low emissions operation. I believe the biggest downfall of the early Duramax was the fact that changing injectors, which were prone to failure, was much more difficult than it should have been. In 03 Cummins took a big leap forward by adopting the common rail fuel system as well and because GM didn't remedy the injector problem till the mid 2004 model I could see someone choosing an 03 - 04 Cummins over the same year Duramax. From '04.5 through 2010 I don't think anyone has had a more impressive pick up truck power train than GM.
