The DURAMAX has had the CUMMINS beat for several years in HP and IIRC torque as well. FORD is still 3rd in numbers amongst the big 3. The CUMMINS is a great engine, as well as the DMAX. The NAVISTARS are also good engines in INTERNATIONAL trim level, but once FORD entered the picture it went downhill. The DMAX also has the ALLISON backing it, but the cab and chassis DODGES with the CUMMINS have an ALLISON copy in them(the regular 2500/3500's use a DODGE built tranny designed off of the 545RFE). FORD's TORQUEFLITE is a turd I think that has proven it's weakness's time and time again. FORD sunk to much money into designing them to abanden them once they realized what they were. The best bang for the buck is a 96-98 DODGE with a CUMMINS or a 94.5-97 FORD with the 7.3L POWERSTROKE.
