CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Duramax vs. Cummins- Need some feedback

I have a '96 Dodge Cummins with 250K on it. Most of it pulling a 50' trailer w/2 cars. It gets 11-13 pulling and over 20 empty. The clutch went @ 200K. It's by far the best vehicle I've ever owned. It doesn't have the EFI so I had the pump worked on and the turbo turned up right after I got it. It wouldn't pull before that. It has all the power I need. I run 70-75 pulling the trailer. That said, I've heard good things about the Duramax. I don't know anybody that has put my kind of miles on one. I do know what my Dodge has done though. I plan to keep right on going with it.
