The Cummins 5.9 is and always has been a great engine. put a good transmission behind it and throw it all into an F250, you've got a rig that WILL NOT stop working.
that 250 is a nice truck, I like it.

True story.
The 7.3 got nixed because of emissions, just like every other engine that's been dropped by a manufacturer.
As for the 5.9... yeah it's great, too bad the rest of the Dodge is just an expensive shipping crate for a great Cummins engine.
