In Reply to: OT.Powerstroke Ford or Cummins Dodge...For Tractor Hauling, posted by 49 Cubber! on March 15, 2003 at 06:27:39:

Just to put my 2 Cents worth in here, I have a 92 dodge cummins 4x4 with the automatic trans. The odometer reads just under 190,000 miles. This has been by far the most dependable truck I've ever owned. It is used daily to haul heavy loads and never breaks a sweat.
The only thing other than regular oil changes and valve adjustments, that has ever been done to the engine was a fuel shutoff seleniod shorted out on the injector pump. now brakes have always been really weak and needed replaced fairly often.
I did have the rear end split the spider gears at about 175,000 but no idea why.
As to fuel milage I don't even want to tell you how bad it does, but will. This truck gets around
12 miles/ gallon loaded or empty. It has done this since I bought the truck in '98 with 100k on the odometer.
I'd never buy a cummins with an automatic again just because I feel this may be what is contributing to the poor fuel milage. and once you get into high gear you never need to shift anyway. the other reason I don't like the A/T is it makes the truck useless for 4 wheel drive. By the time the torque converter engages the the engine is putting out so much torque that the truck just digs in and burys it self.
The next truck that I buy will be a dodge but not with an Auto.
My friend's Ford powerstroke spends more time in the shop than it does in his hands. multiple transmissions and other problems.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
