Ford should have simply kept the good old 7.3 Powerstroke, those older ones are outstanding and proven workhorses, especially with the 5spd ZF transmission.

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.
