I like the V8 for some things but a in-line 6[ of any kind ] just makes sooo much torque. That's why they put them in trucks and equipment. I couldn't decide either and I found another F250 first. I don't care for 'strokes simply because it's electronic. I don't have good luck with electronics.!!
Hey, there's no arguing a cummins is nice, but I really like the simplicity of my IDI. It was comforting last fall when I spent three months travelling with my 5th wheel around the western US knowing teh only electronics was teh fuel shutoff solenoid When I travel in my car, I carry a whole friggen box of spare sensors and computers, and pray that I have the correct one that might happen to go.
